The latest firmware: Phantom 3 Professional Firmware v1.6.0040 2015-12-22, seems to have worked fine on the drone but when I inserted the usb thumb drive with the mini memory card in it into the remote control to update it's firmware it did nothing. No sound just a red light with next to the 4 green lights.

The update is only for the bird not the controller

Thank you! How does one tell if one is for the toggle versus the bird? Thanks again.

Generally speaking (or, in this case, writing!) in the same area where you see the latest firmware available for download, you'll also see info regarding updating the controller and/or batteries.

This very latest update (v1.6) only updates your Phantom *and* any batteries you have. Updating the batteries with the latest firmware is pretty trivial. Just make sure you leave the .bin file of the newest firmware update in the root directory of your micro SD card, insert a battery, turn on the controller, then the Phantom and the battery will automatically update the firmware. Repeat if you own more batteries.
