MiVue 618
Hi all, first post here and unfortunately its for a problem!
I have 2 MiVue 618s bought over a year apart, neither will accept the updates (system & speedcam) when following the online instruction from Mio, after downloading the updates and saving them to the SD cards as per official instructions, I do not see the 'updating data' screen as expected, the dashcam goes straight back to recording mode. I have dried deleting everything, formatting etc, nothing seems to work!

I am using SanDisk High Endurance Video Monitoring microSD Card - 32 GB.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
 
Ok I seem to have found the problem, not deleting previous versions of the downloads causes the file name to change (adds a number), therefor the dashcam fails to recognize the file and ignores it.
Sorted now!
 
Lol I was about to suggest this. New firmware (for any cam) should always be put onto a formatted/empty card :)
 
Yes it was on an empty card, it was the downloading on to my PC that caused the trouble, that's where the previous version was and so the file name changed by gaining a number.
