This guide provides a straightforward walkthrough for upgrading the RGB firmware, ensuring your device operates smoothly with the latest features and improvements.
Step 1: Prepare for the Upgrade
Before beginning, ensure your device is not connected to your car’s original Carplay interface. Instead, find an alternative USB port—such as one on your laptop or a power bank—that you can use to power the device during the update.
Step 2: Connect to the Device’s Hotspot
-
Activate the device’s hotspot. The hotspot name and the Bluetooth name are identical, with the default password usually being
88888888. - Connect your phone to this hotspot. Navigate to your phone's Wi-Fi settings and select the device’s network, just as you would with any Wi-Fi network.
Step 3: Access the Firmware Upgrade Interface
-
Open a web browser on your connected phone. Enter
http://192.168.1.101 in the browser’s address bar and press Enter to access the device’s admin panel.
- Locate the firmware section. Search for a tab or section labeled ‘Firmware Upgrade’ or 'Historical Versions', where you can view the current firmware version and available updates.
Step 4: Download and Install the Firmware
- Choose the latest firmware version. Click on the upgrade button next to it.
- Allow the download and installation to complete. This may take a few minutes; ensure that your phone maintains its connection to the device’s hotspot throughout this process.
Step 5: Finalize the Upgrade
- Reboot your device. Once the firmware upgrade is complete, disconnect the device and then reconnect it to the car.
- Verify the upgrade. Reconnect your phone to the hotspot and revisit the admin panel via http://192.168.1.101 to confirm that the firmware version reflects the new update.
