Begin Update
What You’ll Need
• 
A Micro-USB cable – to connect your device
• A Windows computer
• Firmware file – download below
Step 1 – Disconnect
Locate the Bluetooth device and disconnect it from the CAN-bus.
Step 2 – Download Firmware
Download the latest Firmware version.
Step 3 – Connect to PC
Plug the device into your PC via Micro-USB.
⚠ Make sure the CAN-bus is disconnected first!
Step 4 – Transfer the Firmware
A folder will automatically open when the device is connected. Drop the firmware file into the folder named BLE5-CAN-BL.
⚠ When the Firmware is dropped in the BLE5-CAN-BL folder you must wait until the folder,
1. closes
2. reopens
3. closes again
This happens automatically and indicates the file has been processed.
Please Note: The date and the file name do not change after the process is complete.
Side Note: Sometimes the folder will close & reopen but does not close again. If this happens, please drop the firmware file in the folder again and it should work. Otherwise right click on the BLE5-CAN-BL drive and choose to eject to safely disconnect the Bluetooth dongle from the computer.
Step 5 – Reconnect
The only thing left to do is to plug the Bluetooth device back in to the CAN-bus.
✓ You’re Done! You’re now ready to enjoy the latest features and improvements!
