Activate the device’s hotspot. The hotspot name and the Bluetooth name are identical, with the default password usually being

Open a web browser on your connected phone. Enter

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
