      • Connect to your ELD adapter in the BIT app and go to Settings > ELD Adapter. Check that the model number displayed is BIT17002.

      If your ELD matches the picture and description above, please continue. If your ELD doesn't match, please look at our other firmware articles to pick the correct update links.

       

      Please follow the steps below to update your BIT ELD:

      1. Click this link to download the file you need:
        https://blueinktech.com/assets/fw/obd/NEW_ELD.BIT
      2. Unplug your OBD-II adapter from your vehicle and remove the USB stick.
      3. Plug the USB stick into your computer and open the device folder to view the files.
      4. Remove any files already in the device folder. Keep the folder open.
      5. Open you Downloads folder in a new window and locate the file named "NEW_ELD.BIT"
      6. Click and drag this file into the USB device folder.
      7. You can now remove the USB stick from your computer and put it back in your OBD-II adapter.
      8. With your vehicle's engine running, plug the OBD-II back into your diagnostic port. The ELD should blink purple while updating, which could take a minute or so.
      9. If the OBD-II doesn't blink purple, unplug it and wait a moment, then plug it back in. Once the update is complete, it will blink red-white-blue and be ready to connect.

      You can check that the update was successful by connecting to your OBD-II from the BIT app, then going to Settings > ELD Adapter. The firmware displayed on the screen should end in .55.
