As development continues on the EcuTek Vehicle interfaces (both USB and Bluetooth) firmware updates will be required to keep everything running smoothly. Each EcuTek Vehicle Interface (EVI) has its own Boot Firmware, Main Firmware and Bluetooth Firmware which can now be updated using the ECU Connect app, EcuTek ProECU software (if you have a copy) or a standalone updater from the Downloads Section of the EcuTek website.
We would recommend to always update the EVI firmware to the latest versions, in particular if you’re experiencing issues.
ProECU and the Standalone EVI Updater are Windows apps, so Mac users will have to use Parallels or find a Windows based PC to use them.
In this article we will cover the procedures to update the EVI using the three methods shown below.
If for some reason the firmware update fails the interface may be recovered using one of the other methods listed below.
On iOS (iPhone/iPad devices), ECU Connect could not be able to update the Bluetooth firmware if it's an old version (ie. 160330M and 170721B). In this case, the Standalone EVI Updater should be used to update the Bluetooth firmware. After doing that, future updates will be possible from ECU Connect.
