I updated to 2015 maps v6 and it updated successfully! I can now access bluetooth settings and my phone connected and I was able to play audio. Now I do not want to go through the headache of updating to v7 2017 because I may ruin the bluetooth or brick my unit. Thank you all for the help!

I'm currently downloading the 2015 firmware and will try to install it soon. I could've tried making the jump to v7 2017 update but for some reason the keyboard was greyed out so I couldn't type in the password for v7 2017 update. The back arrow was responsive just the keyboard was greyed out at that screen.

I backed up the original files to my desktop just incase. I guess I'll first try downloading the 2015 update then see if that works and then try the v7 2017 update. Thank you

I ran the Shortfuse easy script FOR A SECOND TIME and this was the message it showed saying the card is ready to install the map updates. After running the script this is what appeared on the SD card hacked.dll and the renewflib.dll. I then reformatted the SD card and downloaded the v7 maps from the drive link (2.8gb) and extracted it to the SD card. I then plugged it into the head unit with the 3 files as shown. It prompted to update and when I clicked yes to begin update it then asked for a password in which the keyboard was unresponsive and I couldn't enter a password

Honestly I am unsure if Bluetooth worked for my brother but I ran the Bluetooth tests in the Supertestmode and the HU did pair with my phone and worked. Just I can not get it to pair outside of supertestmode since I can't access bluetooth settings it's greyed out. I formatted an SD and ran the simplified shortfuse hack and at the end it displayed "Successful.Now place the SD card with the map update." I placed in the SD map card but still it prompted a password and keyboard was unresponsive

I ran the easy shortfuse hack script that you explained in this post http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/83535-map-update-hack-using-shortfuse-method-z110-z140x920-x940/&tab=comments#comment-345382 the one that has 3 or 4 files on it and once completed it said to restart the unit and insert the map SD card. I downloaded the v7.0 nav map which was 2.8gb from nezfotnemom and extracted the files to my desktop then copy and pasted to the SD card. I placed the SD card into my HU and it then prompted me to enter the password. The keyboard seemed to be unresponsive and did not let m

I install v7.0 onto my AVIC-Z140BH by following the instructions in this post? http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/83512-2017-v7-uscan-update-available-for-z110120130140x920930940/& and then perform a hard reset by disconnecting the battery? This unit was given to me by my brother I had a single din radio.

I ran bluetooth tests during Supertestmode and was able to connect my android phone to the HU during supertestmode which may show that the BT module is still working. However when I start the HU normally (not through supertestmode) I still can't access the bluetooth settings. I'm beginning to think it has to do with the bluetooth firmware but I can't seem to force write and upgrade to 3.32 or downgrade to 3.22. Only way I can change firmware is through testmode since I can't access bluetooth settings. Supertestmode shows that I am currently running 3.24.81

Also, I am confused as to why the Service Information Screen says Bluetooth Firmware Version "------------" but Supertestmode displays 3.24.81

I downloaded a BT file from the pioneer website and tried to force write. I launched the supertestmode and Self check shows that bluetooth is connected. I went to forcewrite but shows that there is no BT firmware on the SD card and says I already have a BT firmware installed?

Thank you. Connection Status shows that the PB is on and I was able to play a DVD while the vehicle was in motion. I took a cruise and DVD played well. I can not update BT firmware because I can not access bluetooth settings so I'll see if Testmode works. I'll try and follow the sticky post about testmode. Which bluetooth firmware and software should I install? Service information says I have Version 04.0000

I followed the instructions in this video and it still did not work. I spliced the parking brake and mute wire and connected them both to ground and I can access all settings except bluetooth.

I have an AVIC-Z140BH. All the settings on my Pioneer were greyed out until I placed the parking brake wire on a piece of metal to ground it. Once I grounded it, all the settings were accessible except for Bluetooth settings as shown in the pic below. Do I need to ground the "MUTE" wire on the RCA cable AS WELL to be able to access bluetooth settings? All I care for is being able to connect my phone VIA bluetooth and nothing else. I hope the bluetooth module didn't go bad on the system. The service information screen says "Version 04.0000" if that helps. Should I update the firmware? Thank yo
