+2. **Attach Dupont cables to the BLE module**: Bend the pins inward so that they can physically touch the pads. Secure the connection by taping the ends together side by side and hold the pins in place when flashing.
+3. **Turn on the dash**: When ready to flash, ensure the dash is turned on. If the dash does not turn on, remove it completely and supply 5V as shown in the images.
+
+### 3. Flashing the Firmware
+1. **Run the reflasher tool**: Open the reflasher tool on your Windows PC. Ensure the console is visible so you can monitor the process.
+2. **Start the flashing process**: Hold the three pins in place on the BLE module and press the start button in the reflasher tool. It may take a few tries to get it right.
+3. **Monitor the reflasher console**: Watch the console output. It will indicate when the process is complete with a message saying "All done".
