Folks, I'm done here. Everything works if you can read and follow instructions. I will not be responding to any more questions in the F Series forum.

Just download and run the script. No need to patch your files for the Shortfuse hack. For F930BT you don't need to replace the Cardinfo.cif. Just use the one from godzilla. I don't know how it could be easier. Doesn't anyone read instructions? DO NOT CHANGE ANY FILES FROM GODZILLA's ZIP.

Are you talking about the ShortFuse script? If so, make sure the SD is not Write Locked. If you are talking about the maps, did you format the SD before copying the 3 files? There is should not be any scrip file or testmode.key on the SD - only the 2 folders and CardInfo If you can't get it to work, get http://mybyteideas.com/x9310bt/supertestmode.zip, unzip and put TestMode.key on a SD. This should boot into TestMode. Go to file maintenance and delete USER\SYSTEM\Download\StartKnd.log

Only delete USER \ SYSTEM \ Download \ StartKnd.log if you give-up trying to install the update. Then your old firmware/maps will be used and the update will be aborted. At least you will be able to use the radio. So, you should be able to copy the two directories and Cardinfo.cif to the fresh FAT32 SD. Do not change any other files.

Do not remove any files. It does not say to remove any files in the instructions. But you must replace CardInfo.CIF because you have an F920BT. If you removed the RenewalIFLib.dll files, the update will fail. If you did, then you must go back and run the Shortfuse script.

You are doing something wrong. I can't tell what from your message. Find a friend who is good with English and have him help you. The instructions are very simple but you must understand English. You only need to install the Shortfuse hack one time. Follow the instructions from step 5. Make sure you use the correct password to unzip the map files or files will be missing. After step 8 you SD should only have Cardinfo.cif and two directories: FIRMWARE and UPDATE If your radio has errors with updating it might be stuck in update mode. There are simple instructions on how to fix it in t

AS I said - we are not communicating. I'm talking about the files you said stopped installing at 94%. That is what I translated your statement to mean. Are they files extracted from godzilla's zip? If not, why are you posting in this thread?

I have no idea what you are asking. So obviously we can not communicate. Maybe you can find someone here who speaks Polish. However, the point I was making on post #166 was: "I recommend unzipping the map update from godzillz again. Be sure to enter the zip password 'Dracarys' including the single quote characters. If you do not enter the password correctly, some of the files will not unzip and the installation will fail."

Read post #166. QRASKA2006 where did you see to use PIONEERAVIC to install on the unit?

Of course you can update your software. Isn't that what I just said. Forget about comparing it to a Z120. It will have all the latest bells and whistles as a Z140 except for the calibration mic. But it is and always will be (internally) a Z110.

OK. As I said earlier, if the update actually starts running, the CardInfo is good. BTW, I just noticed you have a US IP address (T-Mobile USA), but have an F 920 and are installing EU maps. What's up?

Read the ShortFuse post #1 in the Z110/Z120/Z130/Z140/Z150 Hacks & Mods. BTW, I hope you used single quotes around the godzilla's password when unzipping. That has been the single biggest (and most likely) problem in this whole thread. That would also cause this problem.

I'd use the 4GB one and I always used the default. Maybe try unchecking quick format. However, I think some have gotten 32GB to work. IDK what sector size they used.

You have the correct cardinfo if the update started. Once that happens, it doesn't matter. Are you sure you didn't change any other files? Use an 8GB SD.

Does the unit still work as before? If so, I'd ignore that and stay away from Forced Write. I don't think it was the problem anyway. Splash screen is just a file stored in NAND.. I also think the current device is stored in non-volatile memory. More likely there is an installation problem. The yellow wire needs to be connected to a constant +12v source. If it is a switched source, the unit will "forget" stuff like that. A sure sign is if it forgets pre-set radio stations.

Does it also loose other settings and radio station pre-sets?

Your Z110 (which is running v1.0 of the firmware and probably 2009-2010 maps) can be updated to v7 with 2017 maps. However, you need to read the update release notes first. There are many changes (starting in v2.0 IIRC) that you might not like. If you use an iPod for music, the look of the interface is totally different. You'll also loose voice navigation commands. It does add Aha and Pandora apps through your smart-phone. Your Z110 will never be a Z140. Differences in hardware. But it can be updated to be current. BTW, there's no way to just update the maps. One thing to be aware of. Sin

You should read the specs in the back of the manual. There also lots of info on the number of files/directories and file formats supported. If you don't have a manual, you can download one from Pioneer's web site.

Sounds like it was not installed correctly. Most headunits have two power feeds. A red wire is for switched +12V and it is the trigger to turn on the unit with the car's accessories. The yellow wire is supposed to be connected to a constant +12V source. I suspect your's is connected to a switched source. The yellow wire is the unit's power for standby. Most settings are stored in volatile memory. So if the yellow wire is not always hot, the unit essentially resets when off.

Was the password you used 8 characters or 10? No, your problem is not with CardInfo.CIF If it was wrong, the update would not even start running. You would not be asked for a password. CardInfo only controls whether the update is for your model number. The fact that you got to 99% means that there is something wrong with your update SD. The most common problem is not using 'Dracarys' (all 10 characters) to unzip. Another common error is that you modified any file from what was in the zip. With the exception of CardInfo (if needed). The last problem is an I/O error reading the SD. Use a

You left off the most important info. What exactly did you enter for the map unzip password? How many characters were there?

Good news that you got it to work. I'm sorry that I got so heated in my response. It wa because I was irritated that this issue has happened so often. That and a few glasses of wine It was a very bad idea to use apostrophes in the password. It is just asking for confusion. But since godzilla paid for and provided the files, I have no basis to object. And it was his right to do it. But the worst part is that, when the incorrect password is entered, the archive still partially unzips. So many people aren't even aware of the problem until the update fails with xx% completed. Of course then t

It is not Dracarys, it is 'Dracarys' That has been expressed at least a dozen times in this thread. You don't seem to be capable of following detailed instructions. And your attitude seems to imply your incompetence is our fault. You even reported those posts to the moderators as "fake". I find that offensive.

You have to manually update the BT firmware. It doesn't automatically get updated with the maps. Update BT firmware through the BT settings. It is on the map update. This will wipe-out all BT pairings, so you'll need to re-pair.

The head-unit's black should be grounded. The camera's black should be grounded wherever convenient. Don't just connect them together unless you add a ground point. If those red wires you are referring to are +12V (switched) then it will work. Somewhere in the settings of the head unit there is a Camera On setting. If the simple red/black camera wires are connected correctly, you should see an image. Otherwise, I've got no other ideas.
