LOCATING THE MICRO USB PORT ON THE VIVID LINQ
The Micro USB port can be located at the bottom
edge of the VIVID LINQ as seen
in the image. The LINQ should ONLY be connected
to the PC, and not the vehicle
or wall outlet chargers. First download,
install, register, and then run the Superchips update
software. Then attach the micro USB cable to the
LINQ.
Once the VIVID LINQ is plugged into the USB
port on your PC the server will check to see
what updates are available for the device. If an update is available the software will
automatically be updated. Superchips recommends you update the VIVID LINQ prior
to the fi rst installation into your vehicle so your product has the latest and greatest fi les.
Some fi les and options are only presented to the user if the VIVID is vin-locked to your
vehicle. If you want to get the full list of options specifi c to your vehicle (some vehicles
have different options than others) it is recommended you install the programming
into your vehicle and then log back into Internet Update for a full list of features you
can take advantage of. The VIVID software needs to read the vehicle information in
order to accurately display available options in Internet Update. All software updates
are free. There are additional tuning options available for most applications that the
user can download as well. Some are available at no cost while others require the
user to purchase them to use. Select the appropriate options you want, and follow the
prompts to complete the download to your device.
If at any point you need to update
your VIVID LINQ in the future,
look on your computers desktop for
the Superchips Internet Update Icon.
The icon is there so you have
a quick access point to the
internet update page.
Simply double click on the icon to
start the connection to the Internet
update server. You will be prompted
to log in with the username and
password you previously created in
the registration form.
**One way to speed up the login
process is by selecting the “Remember me on this computer” tab at the top right hand
side of the screen.
Once you’re logged in the VIVID LINQ will start downloading the latest updates. This
is an automatic process. Once the software update is complete you will be prompted to
“Safely plug the VIVID LINQ into a USB port on your PC.”
