Re-enter the Hands Free Module-Section of the Service Menu.
Press on the S/W-button.
If there is no S/W-button it means that the head unit didn't detect a valid file on the flash drive. This either means that you already have a version newer than the firmware file installed (as is the case for me), an incompatible firmware file, or that the system can't read the flash drive.
Confirm by pressing Yes.
