Keeping your Tailwind system up to date with the latest software and firmware is the best way to assure things continue to work properly. Every few months there are operating system updates on mobile phones that can cause problems if apps and their associated hardware isn't kept up to date.
To update your Tailwind vehicle sensor(s) firmware simply follow the steps below.
1) Tap in the bottom right corner of your door control screen to bring up the menu for that Tailwind controller. Tap on "Vehicle List".
2) For each vehicle sensor you want to update, tap on the pencil icon.
3) Tap on "Update Sensor Firmware" and follow the instructions in the app.

I tried to updated three times, each time the update freezes at less than 100%
first time at 34%, second at 4%, and now it is stuck at 35%
the sensor is a few inches away from the phone.
Usually restarting the phone and trying again fixes this.
I’ve gotten success at the end updating the firmware but if I check it keeps updating, will the app eventually state that my vehicle sensors are up to date? It would be nice if the VS provided firmware info to compare to firmware releases. Also is there a page showing firmware releases? Thanks!
Hi Chris,
Currently it will not. Apple dictates what information is allowed to be transmitted and the firmware version code is not - so the app does not know the firmware version code until after it connects and by then it just runs through the update. If we stray too far from Apple's standard it will compromise reliability of detection.
We think we've found a way around this limitation and are working to improve it so we can know the FW version and show it in the app.
