Would you happen to know what features would be lost of I used the 4500nex images on a 4100nex head unit? At this point I'm okay with losing some features just to get this working again lol.
Or would you happen to know where I can find image files for the avh-4100nex?
Not sure, but here it is on ebay:https://www.ebay.com/itm/143900456109?hash=item218122b4ad:g:N7kAAOSw4z5f6UQN
I would suggest taking an image of the SD card before putting it in your radio so that you can have it for when your SD card dies again. You can do this with something like Rufus. Then, optionally, post it online for others to download.

I spent hours researching this over the last day, only to find that it's really hard to find what we should be doing TODAY. Had my radio act stupid yesterday morning, immediately ordered SD cards after research, and got it fixed today after work.
So, as of today, here it is for W4500NEX:
1. Buy SD card(s). I bought these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CKFWP6N
2. Download the image:
Compressed (fastest download): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-J9GN8cGtTwOvS_w0AEtBM9lReHBUrA8/view?usp=sharing
or
https://mega.nz/file/P4xCES6a#HM_DyeRdGmWY1wuN1TqyPoR8TyZrJN823oilXAoS-Qw
or
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1d5sUiiyI_zP4dP-JwWL7e_tYXjA3H9eE?usp=sharing3. Flash SD card using rufus (or similar): https://rufus.ie
4. Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eCvEen1p0g
5. Do the work. When done, make sure the ribbon cable has enough slack on the outside of the plastic face before pushing the display back in, otherwise it'll get pulled out of the plug.
6. Be happy.
I also ordered the $35 card off ebay because it was going to take a week. PacParts wants $95! That's ridiculous. People have got to STOP recommending buying from them! I then spent $28 for 5 SD cards from Amazon because I could get them delivered overnight. If anyone is desperate for an already flashed SD card, message me and we'll work something out. -

[FIX] SDCard Failed? Software Error on your w4500nex? Look here!

This is why people upload to megauplod or similar that's completely disassociated with anything in the US. Don't have to deal with DMCA nonsense when hosted elsewhere. I believe we have a right to repair these devices. This is just Pioneer and their scummy "legal counsel" playing stupid money games, and I'll happily fight against them. Pacparts is a willing participant in scamming the average consumer into buying software the consumer already has a license to use in the product they bought. Pioneer knows this is an issue, yet has never released a firmware update for the 4500 even though there have been updates to it.
Who'd you order from on ebay? Did you end up filing a dispute with the seller? I'm curious to see what I get when I finally receive the SD card from ebay.
