[Chuck McCoy]

Today’s Update: V39_20260825
Previous Version: V35

Q: What was fixed?
What’s different?
What’s the change log?
How do I know if my BP100 in on the latest firmware version?
A: VIOFO does not publish BP100 firmware updates with change log on Official VIOFO website, (like for dash cam).
BP100 firmware updates are only available OTA by smartphone APP.

A:

Q: Which smartphone APP should I use to perform OTA Firmware Update?
VIOFO Dashcam APP
VIOFO Battery APP
A: As of today I was only able to update BP100 with VIOFO Battery APP.
Something tells me OTA firmware updates will be rolled out to VIOFO Dashcam APP soon.

Q: When I open VIOFO Battery APP there is no prompt for firmware update.
A: Delete APP, and re-install APP.

Q: What if I get firmware update prompt, but can’t successfully complete the update?
A: Check if VPN enabled, or similar.
If that doesn't work try an old phone, tablet, or some other device.

Q: After BP100 firmware is successfully updated, is it recommended to perform factory reset / default setting by;
1.) Pressing power button 5 times
2.) Power cycling BP100
A: I’ve found this works best.

Q: After BP100 firmware is successfully updated, Bluetooth Pairing with my dash cam is lost.
Why do I have to repair Bluetooth connection between BP100, and dash cam?

Successfully updated BP100 fw from 35 -> 39 using the Android "Viofo Dashcam" app.
The VIOFO Battery app was not required.

My iPhone Viofo Dashcam app (v2.2.1.1) just let me update my BP100 firmware update to my BP100 v39 too. It seems that I don't need to use the Viofo Battery app.

I've just got the BP100 and using the Battery App, but I'm experiencing some strange behaviour. It's v1.3

The buttons at the top don't seem to work, I'm not sure if they are interfering with my phone's drop down menu because they seem to overlap, but neither the "add-a-device" nor the "Power Off" buttons do anything. Pressing or double pressing the temp. doesn't give me any options to change it either. It's like the app is frozen, although the data does seem to change.

This morning I got into my car and it was showing 77% after the dashcam had been running for 8 hours (I think that's what it is set to). Started driving and within two minutes it's showing 100% charged. Unless my car is suddenly providing 53A 😱 I tried restarting the app, clearing the cache etc, but no luck.

Delete APP, and re-install.
If that don’t work, try the “other” APP, (see attached photos).

Thanks. I think I've tried that other app prior to getting the BP100 and I didn't like it, can't remember why but it's still installed so I'll give it a try.

Looks like the double tap on the temp works in both apps.

Used the other app this time and added the battery. I now have a settings button, although nothing in it I need. The battery charging % still seems to be inaccuarte, it charged again from 97% to 100% within a minute of driving in the new app.
