Firmware Updates

Occasionally Racelogic release new versions of firmware code for VBOX products, which may be required to fix bugs or to add new features.

New firmware for VBOX II units can be loaded into the unit using a computer and the supplied USB cable.

The latest firmware upgrade (.RUF) file for the VBOXII can be downloaded from the Owners Area of the VBOX Automotive website.

If you need the latest file, download it from the website and copy it to your computer.

If you are connecting your VBOX to your computer with the USB cable for the first time then follow the instructions in the section ‘Using the USB cable‘ earlier in this manual before following the instructions below.
