What do you mean by "deleted all previous users". Are you talking about deleting the BT pairings? Contact? Those aren't users. How did you delete the pairings? I thought the only way to do that was to flash BT firmware. There's nothing you can do from the BT settings to cause this except if you tried to flash BT firmware that wasn't successful. You weren't in TestMode were you?

Did you do the ShortFuse script, or did you manually edit the DLL file? BTW, don't re-run the script - just in case. It saves the original DLL file(s). Most people use PASSWORDPASSWORD but I didn't think it mattered what you entered. There probably is a minimum number of characters. Let us know if that doesn't work.

Let me expand on that question. What firmware did you update? The x930 software/apps, the x930 Bluetooth, or the iPhone?

Should be just 2 directories (FIRMWARE, UPDATE) and CardInfo.CIF (the correct one for your model). You didn't follow the directions. I don't know how it could be simpler. What password did you use to extract the ZIP files? Unzip the map files 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. I'm getting tired of having to post this again and again.

We don't seem to be able to communicate. Maybe someone can help who speaks your language. If the 2015 worked for your F20, then copy that CardInfo.CIF file to the 2017 SD and put it into your F20.

What files do you see in the root directory of your 2017 map SD?

Mine takes about 60 to 90 seconds. Even that seems too long.

Sorry, I can't help with that. I really don't follow the MRZ or F series except for generic issues that are common to the US Z and X series.

Do you mean PRG.FLG? It is an empty file. Make one and copy it to USER. Never heard of PRO.FLG.

Yeah, its hard to find since its right at the top. 2017 v7 US/Can Update available for Z110/120/130/140,X920/930/940

Great. As far as VSS, many people don't connect it. It does increase the speed accuracy over short distances because it is an immediate reading - similar to your speedometer. It also helps with dead reckoning - such as when driving in an area without GPS satellite reception (like tunnel, parking garage). In case you don't know what it is - it is to be connected to some signal that pulses (on/off) at a rate proportional to a wheel's rotation. It might be once per tire rotation, or many times - as long as it is constant. rate per rotation The head unit will learn over time (using GPS locatio

What happens when you do this? Does the Back Signal status change? To be clear, Do you have two wires tapped into your backup light wire? The red from your camera and the violet/white wire from the head unit? BTW, I don't know what unit you have. It probably doesn't matter since most Pioneer units work on the same principle.

Since you give little detail of what you did and it is hard to make sense of your description, I'll guess that you are getting a message saying something about incorrect SD. I've never seen that message so I don't know exactly the words used. 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.

Why are you posting this here and an identical one in the 2017 thread? You aren't adding any new information. There's already a 2017 thread with detailed instructions. And there seems to be dozens of people posting their own instruction summaries.The problem with posting summarized instructions is - while they might make sense to experienced people - they leave out details. I'm probably going to clean-up and delete many of those posts unless they add value to the discussion.

No idea what went wrong. Not gonna waste any time thinking about it since this is old software. Try installing the 2017 version. Just run the ShortFuse script first.

Could be lots of things. You can tap into the positive side of a backup light, but then the camera only works when you are in reverse. I ran a +12v wire from the fuse box so the camera is on whenever the ignition is on. I'm assuming that Settings/System Settings/Back Camera is set to On. Make sure your backup lights are still working (you might of blown a fuse). So, what happens when you go into reverse? Does a blank screen open that says something like "Objects may be reversed"? If not, make sure your backup detection is working. Go to Settings/Navi Settings/Connection Statu

Why don't you just google Pioneer AVIC Z-3? You'll get a lot more info directly from Pioneer than from someone here. You'll even get the user's manual. Then if you've got specific questions, I'm sure some user can help you out.

I am amazed that people install software without reading release notes and installation instructions. https://www.navigation.com/is-bin/intershop.static/WFS/Navteq-Site/Navteq/en_GB/Pioneer/CRD5007A.pdf

Don't forget to update the Bluetooth Firmware through the BT settings menu.

Why are you installing the 2015 maps when the 2017 are available? To recover the use of your AVIC unit: get TestMode.key from HERE; unzip and copy TestMode.key to SD boot into testmode by inserting the SD into your radio. go into File Maintenance. remove the file USER\SYSTEM\Download\StartKnd.log this will kick the unit out of upgrade mode, and should restart into regular mode on next power up (remember to remove the TestMode SD).

If, when you insert the map update SD, it asks for a password, then your CardInfo is correct. Once you get past that, the only thing that can go wrong (besides the car's battery dying) is a problem with the SD files. Since you are posting in this thread, I assume you are installing the US/Can maps. So there is no password needed to extract the zip (as there is in the EU map zip). The Cardinfo file you need is the one that came with the map zip. Sometimes the unzip program can cause files to be corrupted. Are you using a PC or a Mac? Also, some people have had problems caused by the SD f

Try the map update with the original CardInfo.CIF Replacing it doesn't make sense for a F9310BT since the godzilla files should support it as is.

Technically, you can never "upgrade" the unit to X940bt. You have a X9310BT running v5.x or v6.0 software. The internal model doesn't change. But never mind, since you got to the prompt to enter the password, you are past all that CardInfo stuff. So it sounds like you never installed the ShortFuse hack and you can't get past the password prompt when you try to install the updated maps. Go back and look at the ShortFuse hack thread. I added a simpler way to install the hack using a script. It is very easy and you don't need to use TestMode. Once you run the script (automatically runs when

Yes, I would try that. I don't know why that would happen and you're the first to report a problem like that. I had to reset mine due to some odd iPod issue. But I didn't have a problem with GPS.
