Have you tried pulling the battery? Or doing a hard reset/factory reset? I am not the most familiar with these things. However, I am not getting these errors.

If I factory restart won't it erase the new maps I installed? I think the GPS antenna is either not hooked up or just laying behind the dash.

Anyone?

Ok finally had time to use this.. All updated fine but my maps are still way off!!! I mean it puts me in a feild all the time and never tracks me on the road. I tried to do a manual adjust on location but does not work.. What can I do?

         Donation sent too.

Great! Don't forget to donate

Hey I have not done this yet as a few things have come up. I will be installing the new maps soon and then send you a donation. I drive over the road for a living and time gets away from me when I get to go home.

No you do not need the testmode file

Thank you so much!! I hope this works with me doing it. LOL. I will not know til this weekend when I get back home.

Ohh do I need that testmode file too or is it part of this?

Instructions:

 

Step 1: Format an 8gb SD card to FAT32. Google it.

Step 2: Download the file, and extract using winrar.

Step 3: Transfer the files you extracted to the SD card.

Step 4: Turn your car on, and insert the SD card into your AVIC head unit.

Step 5: DO NOT TURN YOUR CAR OFF, until the update is complete.

Step 6: The update will take approximately 45 minutes.

Step 7: Once update is complete, paypal a donation.

Thanks I will try this and then send you a donation when done.

I can use a micro SD card to just insert it in the radio right?

Hi everyone.. I just joined after searching for a long time on fixes for this 850. Wife and I bought a SUV with a 850 installed. The maps are out of date and the tracking of the GPS are WAY off. I am no computer expert so if someone can help please do so... I see the thread starter has a download for maps but I am not sure how to do this... Thanks.

Really got this ass hat spamming my thread... What a jackwagon...

I am having the same issues with a SUV we bought that has a 850 in it. Did you get a fix for this?

Hi all I just purchased a Toyota Fj Cruiser that has a AVIC-x850BT installed. This vehicle has not been used much and the maps are not just out of date they are way off.... Heck on roads that have been here for ages this thing says I am driving in space... Someone please help!!! I need new maps and stuff. I did the free firmware update from the Pioneer site...

        Thanks
