The software of CAN adapters - LV-CAN200, ALL-CAN300 and CAN-CONTROL can now be updated Over The Air by using FOTA WEB and one of FMB1YX devices. This is an excellent solution because a special cable is no longer needed and software of the CAN adapter can be updated remotely, without having to dismount the CAN adapter from the vehicle. Upgrading the software of CAN adapter will add more program numbers, thus, more vehicle models will be supported.
In order to update your device‘s firmware please follow a quick and simple step-by-step guide below. The procedure is the same for all devices.
FMB1YX device, which is connected to the CAN adapter, must have a correct firmware version uploaded. Currently, this feature is only supported by firmware version 03.25.11.Rev142. Once device with correct firmware version connects to Fota Web on the next scheduled connection (or instant connection, initiated by an SMS command "web_connect"), a small, blue, „CAN“ logo will appear next to the device‘s model:
A current version of the CAN adapter software can be checked by pressing a small „i“ button on the right. All available details of both devices are listed in one window:
