Can anyone give me step by steps on how to install the upgrade?
1. Download the firmware file
2. Change the file name to firmware if it is not already
3. Copy the firmware.bin to the root of your memory card
4. Put it in your Mini
5. Boot your Mini
6. Select Yes/Ja/or what ever is on the right side when the screen comes on.
7. The screen will say processing for about 2 mins
8. The camera will turn off
After that turn the camera back on select No at the screen so you don't flash it again. Stop the auto recording if it starts. Format the memory card and the do a reset to default.
Do I just need to install the latest one?
You can try different ones and see what you like best. Just repeat the above steps to flash another firmware. I had gone back and forth multiple times while writing my review.
Here is a whole list of firmware
http://dc.p-mc.eu/0803/firmware
I had been using the
20140804 GPS + 1CARD Version 1.0 German/English/Russian, iTracker branded
I now use the
20140919 GPS + 2CARDS Procam firmware: Limit max speed stamp, set poweroff delay
A 2 card firmware is for an 0803 with internal storage.
A 1 card firmware is for an 0803 that has to use an SD card.
You can use a 1 card firmware on a 2 card device. You just won't be able to use it without an SD card with that firmware
You can use a 2 card firmware on a one card device. It will just give an error without an SD card in and should record to the SD card no matter if inner or outer is selected.
There are also some custom firmwares I have tried that flashed okay. They can be found here

What is the best settings work for this firmware please
I am running everything as high as possible and then the Exposure Value is always a little bit of trial and error for your local area.
