Yup!

You definitely need a Sync Station DSS-20/25. You wouldn't be able to update your firmware wirelessly.

The same thing happened to me, I had to buy the DSS-25 to be able to upgrade my firmware!

You definitely need a cable connection between the PC and your phone if you want to upgrade the firmware. You can use either DSS-20 or DSS-25.

Bluetooth or IR both rely on the firmware to work and it requires the firmware to be disabled during the upgrade so it's impossible to do a firmware upgrade without disabling the bluetooth or IR. FYI
resistance is futile.
