When upgrading your unit, new firmware is not only being programmed into the recorder but also into the cameras. Make sure the cameras are connected during the first reboot and be aware that this will take approximately five times longer than usual.
Compatibility: Once updated, the latest camera code is not supported by older HD2 firmware, nor does the latest firmware support older software versions. The latest HD2 setup software must be used to ensure compatibility and to allow for the new features.
If you own more than one set of cameras, e.g. as part of a 2nd car HD2 accessory kit, you will have to update the firmware with each set of cameras plugged into the unit, using the same firmware upgrade file.
Video VBOX
Firmware updates are only available to REGISTERED users.
Important: Firmware is not always backwards compatible with older versions of software. When upgrading, please ensure the latest version of software is being used, and any connected modules are also fully up to date.
Place the .VIDUP file on the root directory of an SD card (not in the media or any other folder).
Power up the Video VBOX unit.
Load the SD card into the front panel.
The VVB will double beep when the upgrade is complete.
Turn the unit off and on again to complete the upgrade.

Note: When upgrading firmware on a Video VBOX Pro, instead of the Status LED flashing the Memory LEDs will count up 1-4 when the firmware is successfully installed.
VB Sport
Firmware updates are only available to REGISTERED users.
Download and upzip the upgrade file. The login details required will be issued when registering your unit.
Save the file to an SD card.
Insert the card in to your VBOX Sport and power it up. All the LEDs will flash during the upgrade process. If the upgrade is successful, the upgrade file will be cleared from the card.
Warning: Do not attempt a firmware upgrade if the VBOX Sport’s battery is low (two LED’s or less). For this purpose, we recommend you plug in to external power before starting a firmware upgrade.

Download the upgrade file by clicking the VBOX LapTimer link in the table below. (Your unit must be registered to receive the required login details for the download. Register here.)
Unzip the .upgrade file and upload on the root directory of an SD card (not in the media or any other folder).
Load the SD card into the side panel of an unpowered unit.
Power up the unit holding the up button.
The VBOX will display a progress bar until the upgrade is complete.
Turn the unit off and on again to complete the upgrade.

To update your VBOX LapTimer with the latest track database, please download the file, unzip and install it by following this procedure:
Copy the TRACKS.BDB file into the DATA directory of the SD card, and insert it into the VBOX LapTimer.
Within the LapTimer screen, navigate to MENU > LAP TIMING MENU
