Hi Guys,
Firstly, thanks Mio for the FW and the hard work.
Second, I've read through all the pages and I just dont understand what I'm supposed to do with the FW. I don't want to brick anything.
So, I'm currently on FW 1.005 from factory. What should I do with the 1.005E? Just copy the whole Blackvue folder and overwrite the one on my SD card, put back into unit and let it upgrade?
Thanks!
I don't have a camera yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to by the DR500. I think we are supposed to follow this:
http://dashcamtalk.com/blackvue-dr500gw ... structions
The message Mio sent said we are only to upgrade things in a certain order or risk bricking. While not perfect instructions, I think using the above and below I can figure it out. Maybe we could have some clear step by step instructions though in the original post. This thread is getting rather long, and has little talk on how to actually upgrade your camera. So yeah start by sending a PM to Mio. I'm assuming he wants to keep track of people for future releases via email distribution list and that's why the download links aren't listed here.
Here are the instructions he sent minus the download links. (but 1.1 now in testing seems worth waiting for with AES)
