8.1 Updating SIDRIVE IQ
Procedure
NOTICE
Damage to the connectivity module by disconnecting the battery
If the battery is disconnected while the firmware is being updated, then this can result in
unrepairable damage to the connectivity module.
Do not disconnect the battery while the firmware is being updated.
1. Activate the WLAN on your mobile device.
2. Open the "SIDRIVE IQ Config" application.
3. Select the "Settings" menu.
4. Select the "Firmware" submenu.
5. Update the firmware using one of the following options:
– Via an Internet address (URL)
– Load from a file that is resident on your mobile device
Siemens provides the firmware in the form of a ".bin" file
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/de/en/ps/25522/dl).
6. Tap on "Send". A progress bar is displayed while the firmware file is being transferred.
Result
After transferring the firmware file, a security check is performed and then the firmware is
updated. This procedure takes about 1 to 2 minutes. During this time, the LED on the front of
the connectivity module first flashes slowly – and then faster. The LED goes dark after the
firmware has been updated.
