What Multiplus Compact firmware version should I use?

Hi!

My multiplus compact has this version:

Everything is running well and I wouldn't need to update if I would be able to use the VictronConnect with MK3-USB interface, but when I list my devices, this message states I need version>=200:

I only own mac laptop (VEConfig on above picture is running through CrossOver on mac, but it's a trial version and soon I can't use it anymore), so I would really like to have access through VC.

Looking at the versions, 200 states to be deprecated. So I need to go to 400, I guess. In this folder I find 433 and 459, so I'm uncertain between 2606433.vff (inside 433 folder) or 2606508.vff (inside 459 folder):

What's the differences here?

I believe it's not explained on https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/manual-VE.Bus-firmware-versions-explained-EN.pdf


Thanks

@psousa Firmware v433 and v459 are known stable firmware versions, and are a good backup if you experience problems.

v2606508 is the latest firmware version with the latest features and bug fixes.

As VC has indicated, you will need to use VE Flash (part VE Configure 3 ) of to update such an old firmware multi.

Pretty sure that VE Configure is windows only, but have a look here.
