In correlation with the release of the Zune HD device, KICKER has recently issued a firmware update for the ZK500 Digital Stereo System. With the updated firmware you can dock and charge the

Zune HD device, and play all stored digital content from the Zune HD device in the ZK500 with extraordinary sound including Kicker’s Legendary Bass. The updated ZK500 HD Firmware will continue to work with all previous Zune devices. Zune HD owners can now take their songs and video to a new level with the purchase of a KICKER ZK500 System. Simply go to shop.kicker.com and rest assured your newly purchased ZK500 is COMPATIBLE with the Zune HD device, and all previous Zune devices.

Customers who acquired the ZK500 Digital Stereo System after the release (9/9/2009) of Zune HD and can provide the proof-of-purchase are eligible for a FREE ZK500 HD Firmware Update. Customers are responsible for packaging the ZK500 so it arrives undamaged; KICKER will cover all shipping costs.

Already have a ZK500 and thinking about getting a Zune HD device? No problem. For ZK500 units purchased prior to the Zune HD release, you can send your ZK500 in and the firmware will be updated for only $40, including shipping costs both ways in the USA. It is possible your ZK500 could already work with the Zune HD player and you won’t need the firmware update. If you already have a Zune HD device and a ZK500, simply dock the device; if it plays music on the ZK500, there is no need for a firmware update. Contact Customer Service for more information. Please have the serial number of your ZK500 (located on the bottom of the unit), and we will be able to determine if your ZK500 needs the firmware update.

You can call KICKER Customer Service directly at 1-800-256-5425 and make your ZK500 HD Firmware Update arrangements with your credit card or other form of payment, or if you have any other questions. Call now to find out about your options on the ZK500 HD Firmware Update!
