System Software Update

My software is at 2.2.9 -322-324 I downloaded latest software & put it on an SD card in "garmin" directory.  I inserted the card into the sd card slot of my DNX8120 but system never recognizes it.  I put system in Standby and re-seated but no recognition. I turned off and back on.  I did not do a reset for a system reboot. I downloaded a "Bluetooth Software Update Procedure" and it said to download the software from Kenwood and put it in the root directory of a USB Thumb Drive.  Where is the software?  I could not find it.  I put the system software that was on the SD card onto the thumb drive hoping I could update the system from that but could not.  my Software Information screen showed the Bluetooth Module Version with a START prompt but the Software Version  area did not even show a START prompt. Any ideas?   THANKS!!

I've read that when creating the "Garmin" folder on the SD card, the "G" in Garmin must be capitolized, not a lower case "g". So try again making sure that the folder is named "Garmin" with a capitol "G", and not "garmin" with a lower case "g".
