🔵 How to upgrade the firmware of the box without seeing the display screen and unable to operate

Obtain the firmware upgrade package such as named "APM888.zip".

Please prepare a TF card and put "APM888.zip" directly into the TF card (place it directly in the root directory, no need to create any folder, and no need to decompress this file). The TF card used for the upgrade does not need to be a blank card, and it does not have to be an upgrade file, that is, the TF card you use every day can be used as an upgrade card.

You can use the CarPlay USB interface on the car to power on the box, or you can use a USB interface 5V/2A DC output mobile phone charger to power on the box.

After the box is powered on, please wait 2 minutes to ensure that the red power indicator on the box is always on and the blue working status indicator flashes once every second.

At this time, please insert this upgrade TF card, about 2 minutes, when the blue LED is always on and the red LED is flashing, you can pull out the upgrade card.

Wait another 3 minutes, when the red LED is always on and the blue LED flashes once every second, the upgrade process is complete.

The entire upgrade process takes about 5 minutes.

Note: It is best not to power off during the upgrade process, and do not pull out the TF card during the process of copying the upgrade file to the internal memory. Of course, if the above situation occurs, ApplePie will not be damaged, and it will work normally after restarting. It's just that your upgrade process was cancelled this time, and the normal upgrade cannot be completed.
