AWS IoT FleetWise will no longer be open to new customers as of April 30, 2026. Existing AWS IoT FleetWise customers can continue using the service. The [Guidance for Connected Mobility on AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/guidance/connected-mobility-on-aws/) provides guidance on how to develop and deploy modular services for connected mobility solutions that can be used to achieve equivalent capabilities as AWS IoT FleetWise.

# Update an AWS IoT FleetWise vehicle
<a name="update-vehicle-cli"></a>

**Important**  
Access to certain AWS IoT FleetWise features is currently gated. For more information, see [AWS Region and feature availability in AWS IoT FleetWise](fleetwise-regions.md).

You can use the [UpdateVehicle](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot-fleetwise/latest/APIReference/API_UpdateVehicle.html) API operation to update an existing vehicle. The following example uses the AWS CLI.

To update a vehicle, run the following command.

Replace *file-name* with the name of the .json file that contains the configuration of your vehicle.

```
aws iotfleetwise update-vehicle --cli-input-json file://file-name.json
```

**Example – vehicle configuration**  
+ Replace *vehicle-name* with the ID of the vehicle that you want to update.
+ (Optional) Replace *model-manifest-ARN* with the ARN of the vehicle model (model manifest) that you use to replace the vehicle model in use.
+ (Optional) Replace *decoder-manifest-ARN* with the ARN of your decoder manifest associated with the new vehicle model that you specified.
+ (Optional) Replace *attribute-update-mode* with vehicle attributes.
  + `Merge` – Merge new attributes into existing attributes by updating existing attributes with new values and adding new attributes if they don't exist.

    For example, if a vehicle has the following attributes: `{"color": "black", "fuelType": "electric"}`, and you update the vehicle with the following attributes: `{"color": "", "fuelType": "gasoline", "model": "x"}`, the updated vehicle has the following attributes: `{"fuelType": "gasoline", "model": "x"}`.
  + `Overwrite` – Replace existing attributes with new attributes.

    For example, if a vehicle has the following attributes: `{"color": "black", "fuelType": "electric"}`, and you update the vehicle with the `{"model": "x"}` attribute, the updated vehicle has the `{"model": "x"}` attribute.

  This is required if attributes are present in the input.
+ (Optional) To add new attributes or update existing ones with new values, configure `attributes`. For example, if you have an electric car, you can specify the following value for an attribute: `{"fuelType": "electric"}`.

  To delete attributes, configure `attributeUpdateMode` to `Merge`.
**Important**  <a name="update-attributes-requirement"></a>
Attributes must be defined in the associated vehicle model before you can add them to individual vehicles.

```
 { 
         "vehicleName": "vehicle-name",
         "modelManifestArn": "model-manifest-arn",
         "decoderManifestArn": "decoder-manifest-arn",
         "attributeUpdateMode": "attribute-update-mode"
         }         
}
```

**Example – add or remove state templates associated with the vehicle**  
You can associate additional state templates or remove existing associations from the vehicle using the following fields:  
+ `stateTemplatesToAdd` 
+ `stateTemplatesToRemove` 

```
aws iotfleetwise update-vehicle --cli-input-json file://update-vehicle.json
```
Where the `update-vehicle.json` file contains (for example):  

```
{
    "vehicleName": "vehicle-name",
    "modelManifestArn": "model-manifest-arn",
    "decoderManifestArn": "decoder-manifest-arn",
    "attributeUpdateMode": "attribute-update-mode",
    "stateTemplatesToAdd": [ 
        {
            "identifier": "state-template-name",
            "stateTemplateUpdateStrategy": {
                "onChange": {}
            }
        }
    ],
    "stateTemplatesToRemove": ["state-template-name"]            
}
```

If you [enabled encryption](key-management.md) using a customer managed AWS KMS key, include the following policy statement so that your role can invoke the `UpdateVehicle` API operation.
