MAX 360C USERS WITH ACCESS TO WI-FI
1) If MAX 360c has firmware version v1.4 or earlier, its firmware must be updated. Failing to do so will prevent you from receiving speed limit data, Live alerts, firmware and Defender database updates over Wi-Fi after September 12, 2018. We recommend updating using Wi-Fi.
2) To check the firmware version, hold the MRK and MUTE buttons while powering on MAX 360c.
- IMPORTANT!!! Apple users: If your MAX 360c firmware version is below 1.5, immediately update its firmware using Wi-Fi. Failing to do so will prevent you from receiving speed limit data, Live alerts, firmware and Defender database updates over Wi-Fi after September 12, 2018.
3) To connect MAX 360c to Wi-Fi and update firmware:
- If you have not already, register MAX 360c on our website here. Remember the email and password that you used.
