上次更新 2024-04-26 01:19:01

Kindly note that users with older versions of FOBO Tire In-Car and sensors will encounter compatibility issues with Android devices with OS version 7 and above. This will cause instability in connection and problems on making any changes to the In-Car and sensors (Disable, Enable, Install, Sync).

We would strongly suggest upgrading the In-Car unit and sensors' firmware. To upgrade the In-Car unit and sensors' firmware, you will need to have access to iOS devices (Using iOS 16 & below) such as iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch. Otherwise, you may return the units to us to help you with the upgrade procedures (at your own costs for shipping).

The upgrade instructions begins here:
