Ok witnessed another problem after this above method which helped me.

It seems that everytime I turn the bluetooth off, the bluetooth software gets screwed up. When turning bluetooth off the the bluetooth settings menu on the unit, the bluetooth turns off but cannot be turned on again. When you try it just kind of keeps loading then sometimes I end up in the same state I was with the previous issue where things are blanked out.

Fortunately, the software/firmware update still works after. This software is very ropey, so a heads up for anyone else with same problem.

Don't blame me or Pioneer if this bricks your bluetooth, as this is intended for the Z120. Do this at your own risk.

 

Step1: Extract BT_FW_3_10_2.zip

onto the root directory of your SD card. It should create a folder named "Firmware"

 

Step2: Boot up your AVIC-Z110 and press Home-Settings-Bluetooth Settings -

Firmware Update

 

Step3: After the 3_10_2 is complete, extract BT_FW_3_11_2.zip

onto the root directory of your SD card. It should create a folder named "Firmware"

 

Step4: Boot up your AVIC-Z110 and press Home-Settings-Bluetooth Settings -

Firmware Update

 

The update will take about 4 minutes.

Thank you Sir.

This worked for me. This morning my Bluetooth, while I was streaming music, randomly just stopped, and then the Bluetooth was literally inoperable. Have been using the system for about 2 years with no problems and randomly the Bluetooth part of it just stopped working. Same symptoms as others, options greyed out, firmware showing '------', etc. 

I have already done the application update manually before, so didn't bother with that but the Bluetooth firmware files you posted were perfect. I did the first update initially, and the Bluetooth actually started working at this point already for me, but I did the second one anyway. Both updates took about 5 minutes.
