Hi,

I also posted this question on the AVH to AVIC "upgrade" thread, so please excuse my double post.

However, I do have an AVH-Z9200DAB unit. I do read that this is just another name for the 4400NEX (or 4500NEX?!) for different regions. Mine is from Europe - Germany to be precise. My issue is, the unit is stuck in the software-error mode. Panasonic is not responding to my repair request. Accordongly, I would like to exchange the SD-card with the firmware myself.

Can I just use the 4400NEX image floating around? I did have the parking control lines with my original Z9200DAB unit but I read that 4400NEX and 4500NEX differed exatly with these lines. Therefore, I am a bit confused as to which firmware-file would be the correct one for me.

Update: I did find the v1.02 firmware here: https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=908197

Is for the Z9100DAB - so I guess the question is: can I use this for the Z9200DAB as well? Further, under the link you do not find an image file but the content of the SD-Card, I guess. How do I turn this into an image file which I can write to an SD-card to be inserted in the unit itself?

Anyway, can anybody here assist with the proper file to make my unit work again preferrably with the scope of functions I had before with the Z9200DAB? If possible, I would certainly consider the AVH2AVIC upgrade if this was still possible somehow despite the current situation with Russia.

Many thanks in advance!

Cheers, Andy

I also got two questions:

1. I do have an AVH-Z9200DAB unit (European version). Is this fully compatible with the AVH-4400 NEX?

2. Any chances to get the "upgrade" in Europe despite the situation with Russia?

Cheers, Andy
