    It needs to be "unzipped" ~ the files must be decompressed to the card.

    You only need the first item on the list for the ONIX, IF you have software version 2.700.

    READ the instructions for the download.

    Is your card formatted FAT32 ?
    Mac default is NOT FAT32 you have to change it

    Move file to new folder. Then right click and hold, choose extract all then follow instructions.

    I am having the same problem. I just did the 2.7 about a month ago but I can not get the 3.0 to load on the onix. Downloaded from hummingbird extracted the file I guess that is the same as unzip. It looks like 9 files most I don't need, is that the problem or could it be the format. I have been working on it most of the day The last time I had this problem with the 2.3 I had to buy a card from hummingbird for 40.00.
