I also believe only the original controller can update the firmware of the on board keyboard controller. I updated all of mine before installing the DKC850 and further keyboard firmware is very unlikely for older models. SJ

Sent from my iPhoneI apologize if this message is inappropriate or incorrect as I am brand new to this group and am also new to Yahoo Groups in general.
I will shortly have a DKC500RXG controller available as I just ordered the DKC850.

A that time I will purchase the Dkc 850. Which will compete the update and allow Internet radio.Essentially I am updating my mark ii to a iixg and then updating to 850.

Hi, do you have a markII or a markIIxg ? The latter allows I believe, the internet radio option of the DKC850 (I have it installed on my mpx1 wich is initially with DKC500R and MarkIIXG silent . For which purpose do you wish to have an xg controller for a week ?

Seems the dkc 850 will not get internet radio on my Mark ii. So does anyone have and old dkc500rxg (Mark iixg) controller that has be upgraded that I might be able to purchase or borrow for a week.
