Hi can't help you with the two units you mention though if you google there are a few videos dealing with the need to do firmware updates.
If you had said you were going to use the unit for navigation I would have told you to forget it. OEM GPS units all suffer from the problem and added cost of updating maps or having maps that are expensive and not up to date. I discovered this with the factory navigation system in our Dodge. Nice to have the fancy built in big screen but in terms of accuracy and usefulness not so much. Then factor in the cost of the map updates and it becomes less cost effective.
We use Garmin Nuvi GPS systems with lifetime map and traffic. In the city (Toronto) the traffic feature is actually very useful as the GPS automatically re-routes you when it gets signals via radio about traffic problems along your route. The maps have free lifetime map updates which are done by plugging the unit into your computer and it links to the Garmin server which downloads and updates your maps, and other data. On the Dodge it would have cost me more for a map update then it was to buy the Garmin unit!
Another possible option is the smart bluetooth hands-free kit which plugs into the rear of the radio 10 and gives you bluetooth access to your phone and it's contents. In my case I'm going to install a small Android tablet (the smartab) and use that as my music player since it will take a 64GB micro SD card and allow me to do exactly what you want to do with folders and files. I also have a gooseneck tablet holder though it is going to need a bit of modification to securely hold the tablet but it was free so what the heck.
My smart came with the bluetooth kit already installed. It seemed that this kit was a less expensive alternative to swapping out the head unit. It also functions as a hands free unit for the phone and with my iPhone I was able to dump my phonebook into the unit and this allows me to scroll and make calls from the pod display. Note though that the pod display is microscopic compared to the in dash touch screen so if you are getting older like me this could be a major point of irritation as it is rather hard to see due to size.
