Firmware & Web App Update

  • Download and save the zip file to your desktop (the file may be in your browser’s “downloads” folder).
  • Right click, and click Extract Here.
  • A folder named “webapp” will be created on the desktop.

  • Turn the vehicle ignition on (engine not running) to power on the iLIFT ECU.
  • Turn headlights and other accessories off to prevent battery drain of your vehicle’s battery.
  • Open wifi settings and connect to the SSID “iLIFT-XXXX” where “XXXX” is the serial number of your ECU. If you do not see a iLIFT-XXXX SSID, or see “ilift” with out a serial number – turn off the vehicle’s ignition power, turn it back on, and check again. Note that you will not be able to browse the internet during this process.
  • The default SSID password is “ABCDEFGH”. If the password has been changed by the owner, enter this password.
  • Open browser (Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge recommended).
  • Browse to 1.2.3.4 as shown.

Note: if your laptop will not connect to the iLIFT ECU, try to position the laptop closer or forget and reconnect to the iLIFT SSID. If the laptop will not connect, it may be due to a security policy of Windows, and require a manual update (contact iLIFT for assistance).
