IMPORTANT! To avoid unwanted consequences of installing a new version over an already installed one, you need to perform a "clean installation".

  1. If you have used the BUDS2 software before, then, before installation of new version, you need:
  1. *Save the vehicle-settings-files of scanned vehicles to another folder on your computer, perhaps you will need them in the future.

Every time you are scanning a vehicle by BUDS2, the vehicle-settings-file (xxxxxx.buds2) is automatically saved in folder Files in C:\Program Files (x86)\BRP\BUDS2\Files .

The name of each file consists of: VIN + Date (year/month/day) + time (hour/minute/second) when the file was automatically saved (example: 2BX2GEGZ8KJ000000_20250523190848.buds2).

  1. (IMPORTANT!) Uninstall old BUDS2 version in Control PanelPrograms and Features.
  2. (IMPORTANT!) Delete the folder BUDS2 in C:\Program Files (x86)\BRP.
  1. Download and install (as Administrator) the version BUDS2_24.2.2_8EBA_hours_Setup.exe.

*After installation will be completed you can copy/move the saved vehicle-settings-files to folder Files in C:\Program Files (x86)\BRP\BUDS2\Files ).
