Updating your Cortex
Your Cortex devices are updated through the Cortex Onboard App. The Cortex software is downloaded with a Cortex Onboard install or update. You can do this at any time you have data coverage or wifi availability, just like any other App update. Cortex Onboard will then distribute that update to your Cortex system next time you connect, it's that easy.
