I was able to speak with someone from Pioneer that was knowledgeable about the bluetooth issue. He recommended two things to try: pushing the reset button on the nav face and if that didn't work unplugging the power for a few minutes. The reset worked for me, so now the bluetooth is operational. I guess I should have thought of that before.

A couple of interesting things I learned from Pioneer:

*there is not any bluetooth software upgrade despite the fact the unit seems to think that it could be.

*the software version often does not display even though software is installed and working fine

*you cannot reload the same version of firmware you already have on the unit. This is why I could not seem to get the SD cards to read.

*if your bluetooth ever stops working and the resets do not work, you will have to send the unit in for service. Nothing else to do at a user level.

Hope this helps someone.

I have this same problem and I tried to re-update with the 1.0003. Two different SD card both reformatted with FAT32 and the unit will not recognize or allow me to re-install the firmware. I had updated to the latest firmware before I used the unit, so I know one of the SD cards for sure works. The bluetooth worked fine for a week, then I didn't drive the car for a while. Sometime in there the software got lost. I tried searching on the Pioneer website for the bluetooth only update with no luck. Norm_11 did you have any luck? I guess it is time to test the Pioneer help desk.
