How to update the firmware on your Mileage Ace Pro

Mileage Ace Pro LTE M2 Only!
Latest Firmware Date

Mar 5, 2022 — Version 4.05

How do I know if I have the latest version?

On the back label of your mileage tracker is its serial number.  All Mileage Ace Pro LTE M2 serials will begin with LTEM, followed by a number.  If your number is less than 22206001, please update your firmware.  All trackers with numbers higher than this will already have the latest version.

If you aren’t sure whether you have the latest or not, it will not hurt to update the firmware.  No trip data or settings will be lost from an update.

What you need

  • Your Mileage Ace Pro device
  • A data-capable Micro USB cable like the one included with your Mileage Ace Pro (beware, some Micro USB cables are only for charging and won’t work for this)
  • A Windows or Mac computer
  • Internet access
