Overview
This guide provides essential steps for updating the firmware of your SmartBox device. Ensure your device is properly connected and follow the instructions carefully for a smooth update process.
Prerequisites
- A USB Power Charger or USB data port from your car unit.
- Your iPhone, iPad, or Mac connected to the SmartBox Wi-Fi network.
Update Steps
- Ensure your car unit's USB power charger and USB data port are available for the online Over-The-Air (OTA) update.
- Turn on Wi-Fi on your device and connect to the network named 'smartBox-xxxx'. Enter the password '88888888' when prompted.
- Open Safari on your connected device and navigate to the IP address '192.168.1.101'. Scroll down the page and tap the 'Update' button.
- Observe the indicator light on the SmartBox. It will flash once the upgrade begins and will turn solid once the update is complete.
- After the firmware update is finished, forget the 'smartBox-xxxx' network from your device's Wi-Fi settings.
- Reconnect the SmartBox adapter to your car's data port. The device should now display 'smartBox-xxxx' with the new version.
NOTE! Please do not remove the activator until the light stops flashing. Removing it prematurely while the light is flashing may cause damage to the device.
