CAN Adapter update

Main Page > Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ > CAN Adapter update

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. Upgrading the software of CAN adapter will add more program numbers, thus, more vehicle models will be supported.

Please note, that only newer version of LV-CAN200 and ALL-CAN300 CAN adapters support this feature. The version of CAN adapter can be checked by sending an SMS command lvcangetinfo. If, in the response message, "SWRev:" is 145, the CAN adapter is older and if it is 245, the adapter is newer. It does not apply to CAN-CONTROL CAN adapter - all CAN-CONTROL adapters support firmware updates.

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 (or FMB140 which has internal CAN adapter), must be registered in Fota Web – device‘s model, firmware version, serial number and other information must be shown.

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.Rev144. 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:

If the software is not up-to-date it can be updated in the previous window. A check-box needs to be ticked, then „Actions“ button pressed and „Update CAN adapter firmware“ selected:

Once the software update task has been assigned, it can be seen in the main window. Please note, that uploading will start after the next scheduled connection to Fota Web (or instant connection, initiated by an SMS command "web_connect"):
