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 the FMx1YX devices. Upgrading the software of the CAN adapter will add more program numbers, thus, more vehicle models will be supported.

Please note, that only the newer version of LV-CAN200 and ALL-CAN300 CAN adapters support this feature. The version of the CAN adapter can be checked by sending an SMS command lvcangetinfo.
