2. Display the Version Debug Panel

The SmartMove vehicle software needs to have been started up. It doesn't matter whether or not a driver is logged in.

If the Debug panels aren't being displayed, the GPS icon (circled in the screenshot below) can be tapped to toggle their display.

When the Debug panels are being displayed, the Version tab can be tapped. The 'Update USB Key' button is the top button on the Version Debug panel.

Note: Only versions 4.52 of the vehicle software and above can update USB installation keys. Earlier versions don't have the 'Update USB Key' button.

3. Update the USB Key

Notes

A dialog box will be displayed with the warning 'You will lose all data currently on the key!'.

Tap the YES button if you wish to continue.

The Format USB Key dialog box will be displayed showing the progress of the update process.

Notes

When the update has been completed, a dialog box is displayed saying the update was successful.

Tap the OK button to close the dialog box. The USB key can now be removed. It should be capable of installing the SmartMove vehicle software on other units.

Note: There is a small chance that files will become corrupted when they are copied on to the USB key. The result of having corrupted files on the USB intall key varies, but the installation program or the vehicle software installed using the USB key may give error messages repeatedly. If it appears the USB key does contain corrupted files, try updating the USB key again.
