Denali firmware update
Check your version in 10 seconds. Update in a few minutes.
Do you need it?
See which firmware your glasses run, in about 10 seconds.
- Open the iVUE Denali app and connect your glasses.
- Find Firmware on the Home screen or under About.
- Read the version. V1.30A-22? You're up to date. V1.30A-20 or V1.30A? Update below.
Can't connect to the app? You can still update. Skip to step 1.
What V22 fixes
Auto power off that sticks, and glasses that stay reachable after a photo.
- The Auto power off setting now sticks. Before V22 the glasses went back to 3 minutes every time they were turned off, whatever you chose in the app (for example, "Never"). Now your choice survives turning the glasses off and on.
- The glasses no longer become unreachable after a photo is taken in the app. On older firmware, taking a photo in the app with the live preview off and then tapping Record could leave the glasses "connected" (WiFi light on, phone joined) but impossible to reach until you forgot the network and restarted the glasses. V22 refuses that request cleanly instead.
Unchanged from V20: the 12-hour AM/PM date stamp; the iVUE Denali WiFi name (password 12345678); long-press resolution switching, with a recording starting on the switch as before; and the fix that stops recording when a phone connects.
Reconnecting from the app still ends a recording that is in progress (same as V20); the footage recorded so far is saved.
One thing to expect. On V22, switching resolution also starts a recording. Press the control button once to stop. Connecting the app doesn't start one.
What you need
Three things, and the firmware file.
- Your DenaliFully charged
- The USB-C cable or a card readerThe ones from the box, or your computer's card slot
- A Windows or Mac computerA phone alone won't do
Install
Four steps, a few minutes. No need to format the card.
Install in four steps
You don't need to format or erase the card. Your videos and photos stay on it; the update ignores them. Before you start, update the iVUE Denali app to 1.1.5 or newer.
- Get the file. Download FW675AGD-V22.zip with the button on this page and unzip it (double-click it on a Mac or PC). You get a file named FW675AGD.bin. It must keep exactly that name.
- Put the file on the glasses' card. Either way works. USB-C cable: power the glasses off, then plug them into your computer with the USB-C cable; they show up as a drive, like a USB flash drive. Card reader: power the glasses off, take out the microSD card, and put it in the card reader from the box (or your computer's card slot). Copy FW675AGD.bin onto the drive itself, not inside any folder (not inside DCIM). Eject it (Windows: Safely Remove; Mac: Eject), then unplug the glasses, or put the card back in them.
- Power on and wait. Press the control button once. The glasses find the file and update themselves: the light blinks, flashes fast, then goes solid. Wait for one vibration, which means the update is finished (about a minute). Don't press any buttons or power off before it.

- Reconnect and check. Tap the WiFi button, join iVUE Denali (password 12345678) in your phone's WiFi settings, and open the app. The Firmware line reads V1.30A-22. Clip length, date stamp and resolution may be back to their defaults; set them in Settings.
If it didn't take
Three checks, then the other things you might see.
Didn't update?
If the app still shows the old version, or FW675AGD.bin is still on the card, check all three, then repeat step 3:
- The name is exactly FW675AGD.bin: no "(1)", no ".zip", no spaces.
- The file sits on the card itself, not in a folder (not inside DCIM).
- The glasses were fully charged.
Other things you might see
- Turns off before the vibration: charge fully and repeat step 3.
- Phone can't find the glasses: look for iVUE Denali, not iVUE. On iPhone, allow Local Network for the app in Settings > Apps > iVUE Denali.
- App still shows V1.30A-20 or V1.30A: the update didn't install. Run the three checks above.
Clips recorded before the update keep their original time stamps, names and dates.
