    5. Ensure the MicroSD card is the drive selected in the device list and then click the image button in the top left of the window to select the new firmware file.

    6. Browse to the location of the file named: “T86BA_PND_1026_1600X600M35_CPAPAAMC_20240123_V1_MS_GLYHWIFIMC 2.img” and select it. The path of the file will be displayed in the top bar.

    8. Once the progress bar is complete, the new firmware is burned to the MicroSD card and you can close the program window.

     

     

    9. Set phone to Airplane mode and turn off WiFi and Bluetooth (to prevent Smart Screen from connecting CarPlay while updating Smart Screen). 

    10. Power down the Smart Screen by disconnecting the USB-C power wire then place the MicroSD card in the slot on the side of the screen.

    11. Plug the USB-C power wire back into Smart Screen and a progress bar will appear showing that the firmware flash has started. This may take a minute or two to complete.

    12. When the progress bar is full the Smart Screen display will turn off illustrating that the process is complete.

    13. Once the firmware update is fully complete, remove the MicroSD card first, then unplug the USB-C Power for 5 seconds, then re-plug in the USB-C power to restart the Smart Screen. You have successfully installed the new firmware.

    14. Next, unplug USB-C power to Smart Screen. 

    15. Connect MicroSD card to your computer.

    16. Format the MicroSD card by right clicking the card in file explorer and selecting "Format...", then selecting "ExFat" from the drop down. Once your settings match, select "Start" which will delete all existing files on the MicroSD card.
