Will firmware update automatically via the device checking in with Amazon?

Based on the UPC it is model B006ZZEUXM I think.

Thanks!
There was never a touch version of the K4.

If you want custom screen savers, you will need to pay the fee to have SO ads removed.

The K4 has not had a recent firmware update.
Unless this is a very old device (from old stock), then what it ships with is probably current.

Yes, it will auto update.
(Unless you have installed our update blocker(s). )

The UPC code is not used (here) to determine the model.
Use the first 4 characters of the device's serial number and this table:
