It has been programmed at factory with 6.40.5 so 6.41 is newer.

May I ask why downgrade to such a vulnerable version? Wouldn't be better to upgrade the other equipment if having the same version on all hardware is important? I wouldn't have any of my mk's on anything below the latest bugfix these days.
