Bluefire - share your dash and uses

[NWIP]

On the road again...ahhhhhh, happy! However, my bluefire did not work. Is it because of the latest update that I need to get? Has anyone mailed their bluefire to have it updated and if so how long does it take? Thanks.

It should still work. Is it not connecting?

Thanks for reminding me I was going to send mine in for the firmware while sitting here in Florida

It’s connecting, but the screen flashes on the error code page. Then when I go to Dashboard, the information doesn’t update. I was worried because the primary and secondary brakes were showing 107 and 108 PSI, so I disconnected and reconnected and it changed. I had to constantly disconnect and reconnect til I gave up.

I would reach out to BlueFire maybe a setting where it’s timing out.

Thanks, I'll do that and then mail it to them for the update.

Well, you guys convinced me. I ordered one. Now I need to borrow a dash from someone to have a starting point. Volunteers?

Safe Travels.

FYI...I had expected to see an option in the BF store for the Adapter 3.1 upgrade to 4.1C but, per Mark, just use the Adapter firmware update option:

Update the Adapter Firmware

I will be sending mine in but not until after Christmas.

Wondering if you sent your adapter in for the update?

I sent mine via USPS Priority small box and it seems like it got . Arrived Seattle and stated undeliverable on Saturday 1/21, returned to “mail recovery center”

I have reached out to BlueFire via online contact us since it was a Saturday to see if maybe they received it earlier this week and haven’t gotten a response after 2 inquiries. Anybody have a contact?

Of course USPS is useless in helping other than putting a lost mail request in.

@NWIP...yes I did...

I sent my adapter in for the 4.1C upgrade. Received notification that upgrade was complete within 24 hours of BF receiving my adapter. Adapter was on it's way back to me the next day. I've not yet used the upgraded in the coach. No issues found when I tested it by powering from a PC and connecting to the adapter with BF app on my tablet.

I've used the [email protected] email address or the BlueFire Forums to contact BF. Could be the Mark is busy with ski patrol stuff.

Wanted to update my saga with missing adapter being lost when sent to BlueFire for firmware upgrade.

Mark did reach out and we filed missing mail claim with USPS. Since I was stationary Mark suggested we wait to see if it showed up which it never did. Last week I received a new adapter at no additional cost and appreciate the customer service Mark and the BlueFire store provide

I have the SilverLeaf system in my 2006 Beaver. How would I benefit from the Bluefire? I have an intermittent check engine light issue but the SilverLeaf shows no issues.

As a follow-up: Since purchasing this device I have been unable to use it. I've had numerous emails with the owner and it seems the 3.22 firmware is bad, so much that it probably kills the device as I have been unable to update it to the newer firmware. I tried everything from factory resetting, etc. with no luck.

I emailed the owner on my last trip a month ago that he should send me a replacement device and a label to return the defective one. His response was that I can pay for the firmware update and send in my device, it will be updated to the newer one and as I have the bad 3.22 firmware I can state that in the return and he'll refund the update fee.

So I sent in the device, I had no other option, paid the trivial $10 fee + $13 shipping to send me the updated device back and I shipped the defective unit back for $17.

I reminded him upon receiving notification of the shipment of the updated device to me he was supposed to refund the order and I suggested he should also refund the shipping both ways. So I got an email of a $10 refund, neither of the shipping charges were refunded or any effort made.

Yes, the $30 is trivial but the customer experience is not and that is what is measured and what I'm reporting here. If you provide a defective product then you step up and do what's right to get your customer a working unit. This is a $230 item of trivial use.

Buyer beware!
