Update was disgustingly easy. Thank you! Now on to Honda, Subaru, KIA updates... joy.

Two dumb questions: 1. On the Z140BH, I previously updated it to the 2015 release using notes in the other threads. But I don't recall having to use any shortfuse hack, although maybe I used test mode. I think all I did was mod the CARDINFO file and insert the new SD contents and it upgraded. Why is there a different approach to upgrading with the 2017 this time to bypass the password lock, which I don't recall doing at all on the 2015 update. (I'm asking this because I used to make hybrid map DVD hacks for the AVIC-90DVD and AVIC-D3 units and I want to be educated) 2. Has the for

Just as an FYI, I installed this on my x940bt and all seems to work well. However, you can no longer get into the App version screen by holding in the upper left. Not sure why that would be. I'm curious of the process by which getting the latest maps onto these newer systems. My background is hacking the old 80/90 and D3/N3 Nav systems, in particular doing the 40R (remote control, not touch screen) patches up to CNDV-90MT. I know the new ones require you to use use a code to download the latest maps, and that somehow the devices are encrypted/locked but since its just Windows CE figured

Then everyone should stop downloading and let me finish first.

68% I'm also seeding like crazy...1-2MB/s up.

Really? Cause I looked. wire harness, power harness (can't search RCA), 1064 etc..

I just picked up a used avic-d3 but the RCA harness is missing the rear and sub outs. It seems like a lot of avic gear uses the same connector jacks on the head unit for the RCA breakout or the power harnesses. However, it seems Pioneer has unique part numbers for the D3 vs previous units. The question I have is are any other harnesses compatible with the D3? I'm good at repair work so I have no problem building the correct harness if need be, I would just need the pinouts. The D3 cables are around $50 each, and while that may be cheap when compared to the MSRP of the head unit, that

Or copy those appropriate files to a PCMCIA flash card and then you can just put the 100mt DVD in without modification.

Well, I copied the 40r basic stuff to a 48mb flash card. Then shoved in the 100MTE disc and presto it all works. It seems to look for needed files off the DVD drive first then if it can't find them will look for them on the flash card. Since the 100MT disc no longer has OS files for the avic 80/90 DVDs it looked to the flash card to find them. What led me to that was on occasion the DVD drive won't read a disc and says to insert the appropriate one. Well, last time it started acting up like that I put in the flash card and it booted up the old screens from 2005 with no map data. What'

Do you know which ones it did or didn't read in general? I'm guessing the unit has to have a DVD/CD disk in with some information on it.. even a bare disk with just DVI.DAT might be enough, but before I go toying around I wanted to find out what your experience was. Thanks for anything you may remember.

For the CNDV-100R I think I will try to get the system to boot off flash. Since 8GB and 16GB flash card are dirt cheap now... While poking around the diagnostics menus on the AVIC-90DVD, I backed up the SRAM to the flash card. I then looked at that binary file and it seems to be some sort of DOS file system... even my Unix system thinks so: file FILE000.RAM FILE000.RAM: x86 boot sector; partition 4: ID=0x49, active, starthead 1, startsector 1394627663, 21337 sectors, Microsoft Windows 98 Bootloader, code offset 0x3e, OEM-ID "PIONAV03", FAT 1, root entries 64, sectors 440 (vo

POINT directory is same on 90MTE and 40RE SKY directory is same on 90MTE and 40RE MARKTP - doesn't exist on 90MTE, took it from 80MTE. did not use 40RE as I did on 80R -<< check works -- I reverted to using the marktp from 40RE as I had some graphic issues-- but that might be because of a messed up dvi.dat file. Note sure. My 70RE used the updated files from 70MTE. Test again when 100MTE comes out. SNDDATA - used 40RE on 70R Used the 040snd only files from 90MTE. 80MTE and 90MTE have same uc040snd files. 801e30abe6c0055450f4071c5d17e65d ../../90MTE/snddata/uc040snd.esp 849

I'll be testing out a version of the CNDV-90R-East shortly. I'm trying to take as much as possible from the 80MT and 90MT and then overlay the needed pieces from 40R.

Press the OK button. Disabling the startup screen is very low priority when keeping just the nav data up to date is a chore. I'm sure it can be done by modifying the operating system code.

Interesting how your system boot and drive core are newer and my drive app is newer. I was curious what would happen if you used newer voice files, if they actually got used at all.

I didn't know about the w key. I will try that. I purchased this car with all this stuff already wired and I've already had to fix a lot of things with the install. The illumination wire isn't hooked up either so at night its a daylight display. I'll get to fixing that soon. I have this installed an a 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo. The original installers had the wire harnesses run of the engine top and exhaust manifold. They didn't last long that way. HAH Btw, what minimal install did you do? the alldata.kwi itself is 3.1GB and the idx directory is 4.1G I'm guessing you did it w/o the idx

You are of course assuming that the unit can boot and completely use the pccard slot. I don't like having a bright display on when I'm driving at night and would prefer a little digital display instead. But that is just me.

There is a USB "block" driver but I didn't find any USB ports. I'm assuming its a generic style OS that can run on several versions of the hardware. The AVIC-9DVD had and a radio tuner in it I think, or something like that. There is the ATAPI interface to the DVD drive, that might be able to be adapted to say an ATA to flash card device but I also doubt that. The OS knows how to boot from a DVD drive and also it seems how to calibrate it. I am sure, however, there is some hidden way to hook up some type of device to this as they would have to have done a lot of development work on the dev

bg are your background pictures (and some of the copyright screens). You create that directory on the PCCARD as well if you want to add your own jpg files. The jpg and pim files you can open on a standard pc, the HCS files are some type of format I have yet to figure out. I always thought the sky directory was information about satellites, but the sky.lst file talks about bmp files. You may be right about the 40R being a last minute thing. I have a "Version 1.1 For Traffic" blue dvd, 2001. Then the "Version 1.0 CNDV-20 For Traffic" blue dvd. I see there is a CNDV-21, but no CNDV-30

oh.. region.kwi differs on the 40R east vs west disc in addition to all the differences between 80E and 80W. not sure why that would be. It isn't important though. Now, I've noticed that a lot of the 40R version information, including the compile directory and voice file versions state: NN529_05RC V1.02. The 80MT disk has NN529_08TP V0.00. Obviously TP is Touch Point (or Pad) and RC is Remote Control. What confuses me is that the 40 dvd uses the 05RC and not 04RC. It makes me want a copy of 50M now. The release directory is different too: Release Directory : /proj/05apl/bnn529_

I would love to have a copy of the service manual. Thank you. You can upload it to that file sharing portal or let me know how to yank it or email. From the diagnostic menu I have these versions on my system: System Boot 2.01 System OS 3.03 GPS Version 2.70 APP Version 4.000004 LANG DATA 2.00102b Syscon Ver 8.00 Drive Core Ver 30.00 Drive Appl Vers 8.31 TV UCCOM (?) 8.06 SYS lang UC010SYS.USA APP lang UC010DAT.USA The UC files are the system OS. The EU files are the application. It might be possible to use a new app on the old OS but I doubt it. The newer EU files all

I wanted to get it working on a flash card as well, way easier to play with things than burning DVDs. I actually was going to take my AVIC90 apart to see if there was an ATA header somewhere. The diffs between 80E and 80W are the following: The contents of the IDX directory DVI.DAT ALLDATA.KWI INDEXDAT.KWI

Have at it http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/61478/40RE.zip I'll try the updated marktp and sound files one of these days on an 80R and see what they do. I also have the diagnostics password to poke around the system a bit. I forget where I dug that up. I also wrote down all the version information and some of which files do what. Make sure you roll your own DVI.DAT file and not just use the one on 80MT. Take a look at the examples I posted.

I hadn't considered supplying just the 40R pieces. I'll take a look at how big they are. My only concern is that I've never used my hybrids to actually upgrade the OS before, for that I just put the 40R disc in, it then upgraded the system to that level, then I would use the hybrid discs which didn't trigger a software load because of the way I build the one config file. I'll consider making an "empty" zip file that only contains directories and 40R files needed to make a working 70R/80R. I'm still looking for the elusive CNDV-50R and I also heard there were two versions of the 40R a
