[Sound Eq]

sorry to ask this question, is it possible to connect my 3.5mm cable from my car stereo to the coaxial input of the x3, what cable do I need to do that, and will this improve the sound quality or will be the same as the sound coming from the 3.5mm input.

The coax is output not input. In X3 you only have 1 input which is USB that connected to computer and to make it a sound card you have to turn DAC mode on.
 
The coax is to connect to external DAC To decode and then amplify.
 
The line out is to connect the external amp to amplify.
 
The earphone port is to connect to earphone of course.

  sorry to ask a stupid question, my car stereo has a 3.5 mm cable coming from it, how can i connect it to the coaxial input of the x3, what cable do i need

Huh? I'm a little confused by this. The coaxial is also output, not input (says output on the player). If you have a 3.5 mm cable, why not just use the line out?

What the heck, man? You asked this twice and completely ignored my answer. Stop asking. Coaxial is output. Exit only!

Have you tagged your files correctly? If not, I'll suggest mp3tag.

Common issues are:
 
1. You didn't extract the file from the zip
2. The firmware you extracted from the zip is called something other than x3.fw
3. You have saved the firmware to the internal storage on the X3 and not the actual sd-card

#1&2 are exactly what i did but what do you mean about #3?

The X3 has 8GB of onboard storage, it is very easy when looking at the X3 connected to a PC, to transfer the x3.fw file to the onboard storage instead of your sd-card. If that happens, then the firmware will not update.
 
I can't speak for Windows, but when I attach my X3 to my Mac with its sd-card in, it shows two volumes mounted. One is called 'X3' and the other is called 'UNTITLED'. The first of these is the X3's own onboard storage and the second one is my actual sd-card (your sd-card might be called something else if you have given it a volume name)
 
Just ensure that you are transferring the x3.fw file to the 'UNTITLED' volume (or whatever yours happens to be called) and not the X3's own internal 8GB storage.

should the player be hooked up to the computer when updating. I extracted and sent it to my sd-card than took the card out of the computer put in the X3 held down the menu and power button and here i am.
 
EDIT: Onet hing i should say to, if i go into the player and browse files and go to Micro SD Card it shows X3-FW1.31

It sounds like you didn't extract the file - it has to be named x3.fw EXACTLY - no additional version numbers or anything. That looks like you copied the file that you downloaded directly to the card, not extracted the firmware file from the file you downloaded.

Ok I will try again, one more thing, do you have to go in sequential order or can you skip to the newest FW?
