Garmin GDL-50R won't update firmware

Anyone run into issues with GDL-50R firmware updates? I don't have a g3x so I'm trying to update through Garmin Pilot. The ipad sees the unit just fine, prompts for me to update it, I click go, and then spinning wheel of death forever while it tells me to not power off my unit.

Phone support is backed up for hours and they don't have a callback option, so I'm stuck.

Anyone have any ideas?
 
Garmin support is saying that you can only update the gdl-50r if you have a g3x, and that the issue is a bug in Gamin pilot where it tries to update a device that isn't supposed to be updated through Garmin Pilot.

Super weird.
 
I have a GDL-50 and it updates fine through Garmin Pilot. Other than the fact that the 50 is portable, I'm not sure why this would be an issue
