+Updating the firmware of a VE.Can product is typically most convenient by using the remote option. Its then not necessary to obtain the CANUSB adapter. In case you do need, but don't have the CANUSB, contact your dealer; they'll be able to help you in most cases; by lending one or by doing the update for you if you send them the product.
-There are two ways to update the firmware via the VE.Can port:
+===== Method 1: Remotely via internet =====

+See [[vrm_portal:remote-firmware-update|]].
-  - Product connect remotely, to a Color Control GX: [[ccgx:ccgx_ve_power_setup#remote_firmware_update|Remote firmware update instructions]]
-That last option is often the easiest way, as there is no other use to the CANUSB and it is quite expensive.
+===== Method 2: Locally, using the CANUSB interface =====
