  1. I had a similar problem = rebooting when listening to radio after restarting the car. I had a different model radio (Z110-BT). The problem went away when I replaced the car's battery. So it is possible you battery is starting to fail even though it can start the car. How old is the battery?

    Do you have a download available for 2013 USA/CAN Maps or 2017 or newer that would work on the AVIC-MRZ07 model?

    Short answer - No. I have no idea if the MRZ series hardware is compatible with the Z, X and F series. I doubt it. From a little research I see lots of guides on changing the language, but that has nothing to do with maps. 

    You will need to search around this site (and Google) for more info, but I can't help.

    I did actually use 32 GB SD, maybe thats the reason, was also formated FAT32 and there was shortfuse script with map update

    No map update on this SD! Just the Shortfuse files. After it is successfully patched you can format the SD and use it for the map update (or use two SDcards). On the map update do not add or modify any  files except if you need to replace Cardinfo (which you should not need for your model).

     

  4. OK, as I said I've no experience with the  D series, but it does sound like a problem detecting the parking brake.  On the Z series, Settings/NAVI Settings qill show the status of several external inputs - including the parking brake (On or Off). Hopefully your D series also has a similar status display in the Settings. If so it will tell you whether the system thinks the parking brake is set. I'm just guessing here but it is possible your previous Navi was hacked to bypass the parking brake and the replacement isn't. So I'd look for info on how that is done on your unit.

  5. Did you get Shortfuse installed?

    If you've read through this thread you should have all the info you need. There's no guide - just posts from people saying what worked. Note that pages 6 - 8 have a lot of helpful info.

    An F9310bt is basically the same as an F930bt and does not require a different Cardinfo file. Only early series like F910 or 920 need it to ne compatible with the version that Godzilla posted. 

    That's about all I can tell you since I've never installed this update. But the process is the same as all the previous updates (2013, 2015, 2017). So you might find better guides in those threads.

  6. I use notepad on Windows. But any editor that edits and saves text files and doesn't insert formatting data (like Word). Also make sure you save the file name exactly the same without adding a ".txt" extension. 

    You'll need to browse this thread for info on replacing cardinfo. Several people have written detailed instructions. I haven't messed with this stuff for 5 years.

    Hey so I tried to download shortfuse and do rest of stuff but this happened. 
    Btw what do ya think does this avic have custom os or something, just asking
     

    The script attempts to make backup copies of the two original RenewalIFlib.dll files onto the SD before overwriting them.  For some reason the copy command failed.  Maybe there was no more room on the SD or it was write-protected, or the file already existed on the SD (if you ran the script more than once).  Anyway the copy of the original files failed and the hacked versions didn't occur since the script crashed.

    Regardless,  you can edit the script (named ScriptExec) on your PC and remove that 1st and 2nd COPY command. Then rerun it by reinserting it into the head unit.

    No way I can tell if it is a custom OS - probably not

    Hello guys I have AVIC-F9310BT, will map updates work for this model? If so, how do I install these files and can I do these updates with usb?


    Keypoints:
    Also what is shortfuse hack and do i need it?
    Should I change cardinfo and how do I do it?
    What does TTS have to do with all of this?

    Shortfuse hack : http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/83535-map-update-hack-using-shortfuse-method-z110-z140x920-x940/&do=getNewComment

    Cardinfo needs to be changed only if the model you have is different that what godzilla has posted.

    I don't use TTS, so I can't help. TTS generally refers to Text To Speech, so it might be useful if you need a different language.

    What quirks are you finding that affects you the most?

    Probably my fault trying to make it behave like my phone. Sometimes you forget the app is running on the head unit and not the phone which has direct internet access. For example the unit has Google maps installed - which works great while I'm at home (on my LAN wifi) but when I'm driving I can't enter or change my route. I guess set up my phone as a hotspot and tether the headunit but that's also a hassle every time you drive.

    Also, it normally boots up in 3 seconds with everything as you left them (like sleep on a phone), but if you don't start the car for a week, it shuts down and does a cold boot and you have to launch things again. Seems a minor annoyance except you have to pull over and play around with it and the roads where I live have no on-street parking or shoulders so I have to drive several miles to find a place to park so I can get my apps up and running.

    Basically, instead of having a simple dedicated media player, you've now got another computer to manage.   1st world problems!!!

    Thanks for the response Ron.

    I have tried using three separate devices, an iPhone XS, iPhone 8, and an iPad Mini 2. These are all on separate iOS versions 16, 10, and 12. I have confirmed that the Bluetooth volume was maxed when I connected all three devices in separate instances.

    When I select the Bluetooth mode on my x930BT, the 'static' noise is very much evident even at low volumes. Its only when I max the volume on the HU can I very faintly hear what song is playing.  It's very strange, it would've been easier to diagnose if Bluetooth just didn't work at all

    Edit: Which car stereo brand have you switched over to?

    I just wanted something that was Android based (so i could install 1000's of apps) and supported wireless AndroidAuto & Carplay. I replaced my 13 yr old Z110-BT with an ATOTO A6 Pro from Amazon for around $200. It has some quirks but I'm satisfied with the sound.

  11. It might help to know what brand and model phone you are using.

    It isn't clear whether the problem is with your head unit or phone. I know my Samsung phone has separate audio settings for media and phone calls.

    Do you have another BT device to test your phone's music volume?

    BTW I no longer have a Pioneer so I'm relying on memory as to what settings are available on the x940 for each BT pairing. I seem to remember having separate permission settings for music and phone calls. 

  12. None of the newer (modern) head units are plug compatible with the old X910-BT. So whatever unit or brand you decide to buy, you will need to splice in to the car's wiring or find a conversion harness (depends on how the X910 was wired). There is no plug-n-play upgrade solution.  

    I recently wanted to modernize my car which had a Z110-BT (with the latest available Pioneer maps/firmware). I wanted Carplay/Android auto support. After pricing Pioneer and other major brands I decided they were not worth it when I could buy a $200 unit on Amazon from a brand I'd never heard before (Atoto). So far I'm very pleased - sounds better and has a ton of features. Since it runs Android, I can customize it and install apps off Google Play store.

  13. I have no experience with this unit or the process to convert to another language.  However I assume that TestMode must be triggered by hard buttons since it must be able to get into Testmode while/before the unit boots. So - did you try pressing - and + while booting? I don't know about those other hard buttons since I don't recognize the symbols.

    If that doesn't work, I'm sorry I have no other ideas. Sooner or later someone who has done this will see your question and give a definitive answer.
