XD-V70 Firmware update? How?

I read in a few docs here how you can use the v2.0 firmware on the XD-V70. However, the XD-V70 receiver has no USB jack that I can see. Is it hidden somewhere? Or is all the documentation that talks about it just misleading? Is this supposed to be a shop upgrade or something?
I read: http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-2586 and http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-2585 but they make no sense unless there is a USB jack somewhere.
you have to have a 75 unit as well...
Correct. You have to have access to a V75 receiver as it is the only piece that has a USB connection. With it you can flash any other Line 6 2.4G wireless unit by connection it to Line 6 Monkey.
That's strange and more than a little disappointing. Guess we're stuck with old firmware.
Thanks anyway.

We couldn't have offered firmware upgrades until there was a means to connect the devices to a computer. We decided that we could do it with the V75 receiver by adding a USB port and that it was better to offer upgrades to those who could gain access to an XD-V75 than to not offer it at all.
The 2nd document you quote above, http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-2585 explains that you can use the XD-V75 receiver to upgrade your other Line 6 XD-V and Relay wireless products via its USB and antenna output ports.
If you don't have access to an XD-V75 receiver then please contact your dealer or customer support to see what arrangements can be made to provide the service.
The wireless team at Line 6 is committed to offering an upgrade path on future products, the XD-V75 is the first on this path.
Thanks for using Line 6 wireless.

I'm getting a fauly xd-v70 (handheld version) replaced with a new unit, which is being shipped to my merchant. Is that model being shipped with the new firmware, or do I have to buy a $600 xd-v75 to upgrade my unit?
Also, Is it possible to send our units for updates to Lie 6. If this is possible, how much would the precedure cost?
