I can't download de script zip file, is there any other way to get it? And why you expect it would work if the file was somewhere else?

No, there is not. Why can't you download the file?

Hi, I can't remove the password on my radio with this script, such a message pops up, the radio is avic f840bt, please help

The script first make a copy of the password file on your SD. For some reason, it can not write to the SD. I have not tried this script on an F840. Maybe the SD device name is different. Or it is read only. 

You can get around this by editing (on a PC) the script (ScriptExec.ini) and deleting the line that says "COPY USER\SYSTEM\SECURITY\PASSWORD.DAT SD\PASSWORD.DAT"

This is not needed, just a way of restoring the password if you change your mind.

Hello I replaced the battery in my girlfriend's car and the radio is in safety mode. This is an Avid X930 BT year 2011 I tried with the password removal scrip.zip on the micro SD card but the radio does not recognize the card? Does anyone have an idea to unlock the radio? Thank you

Use a smaller SD (try 4 or 8 GB) and format it on a PC. I can't think of any other possible issues - assuming you correctly followed the instructions in post #1. BTW, you don't put the zip file on the SD. You un-zip it and put the extracted files on it.

First, you didn't state your model. Second, this is an obsolete thread that hasn't been touched in 8 yrs. Assuming you have one of the covered AVIC models, I suggest you get someone who is "smart on downloading programs" and follow these simple instructions: Security Password Removal Script

2) any way to avoid theNag screen at startup ?

I just did a binary file comparison between the 2019 (v8) navi.exe and the 2017 (v7). They seem to be just re-compiled from the same source. So the same patch address should work. I patched it and attached here. Is someone brave enough to try?  Use the same instructions as for the 2017 Nag Screen Removal, but use this file instead. 2017 No-Nag patch Instructions Use section 2 only. Do not try to install the old v7 Navi.exe. They have different internal version numbers.

Tried several SDCards with the same result.. no write protection.

Not sure if i understand you correctly.. there are two version of the hacked dll in the unit? And the overwriting is "random".. seems strange..

 

 

Not random. There are two complete sets of firmware on the unit (PRG0 and PRG1).  When the unit installs a map update, it alternates overwriting one of them. It should overwrite the oldest. This is controlled by the presence or absence of /USER/PRG.FLG.  From memory, it works something like this: When the unit is brand new, PRG0 and PRG1 are identical and PRG.FLG does not exist. The next map update overwrites PRG1 and creates PRG.FLG. The next time the unit is updated, it sees that PRG.FLG exists and overwrites PRG0 then deletes PRG.FLG. Then this cycle repeats ........

I don't know why only you seem to be having problems installing the hack. In the future you could edit the script on your PC to remove the section where it creates backup copies of those files by writing them to the SD.

On 6/5/2020 at 9:53 AM, seth_space said:

 

That error is probably  because the SD was write-protected (or some other problem the script had while writing to the SD).

The 2017 hack overwrote both copies (PRG0 and PRG1) of RenewalIFLib.dll, and installing the 2017 maps overwrote one of them with an "un-hacked" version. As long as PRG0 has the hacked version, you can get away without re-running the ShortFuse hack. Odds are 50/50 it will work. You got lucky. It all depends on how many updates have been installed over the life of the head-unit.

PLEASE ASSIST!

First of all, u rock as so does this website - its awesome. 

Is there any mentioned mods/apps applicable for avic RZ-05?

Thank you,

Sorry, I don't know anything about the MRZ series. I see lots of posts regarding them (mostly about changing the language), but it isn't an area of interest for me.

Quick response:  I updated my father's AVIC-F930BT this evening, and everything was successfull (I'll share a more detailed document accompanied by screenshots later on). So please be informed that - in my case at least - it accepted the 'PASSWORDPASSWORD' combination without complaining, and completed the upgrade in about 20-30 minutes time.  Perhaps it is worth mentioning that I got a different message about the password. In Dutch of course, and it stated 'Geef het wachtwoord van Pioneer in om door te gaan met de update. Druk op annuleren om update te stoppen'.  I was offered 3 options 'Yes', 'No'  and 'Cancel', and chose 'Yes'. That seems very different than what @maunav90 got in Italian ('Inserire password nuovamente?') , which seems to suggest a question to CHANGE the password, not to merely enter it..  Final note: I came from a 2011 (hence very old) firmware. Could that be the difference here between what I got and what @maunav90 got ?

 

According to Italian section of the map installation manual, the prompt to enter the password is preceded with this screen:

I don't speak or read Italian (or Dutch), but this is probably equivalent to what you described for your installation. After responding "Si", it prompts the user to enter the password.  I think the image @maunav90 posted is after he entered "PASSWORDPASSWORD" and it was rejected. So it was asking the user to re-enter the password. I suspect that he never (or incorrectly) installed the Shortfuse hack, so the password it was expecting was the "real" one registered for this unit's serial number. Not the hacked one "PASSWORDPASSWORD".

AVH-4400NEX. I cannot access the SD card slot because the eject button seems to be locked.  So I copied the 2 files to a thumb drive and tried that.  It did boot from it but returned an error:

FAILED STARTING!

ERROR CODE : 5

[TURN OFF ACC]

Tried several thumb drives, different sizes, all formatted Fat32 and all returned the same error.  Thumb drives were plugged into usb port 1 on the unit via an extension cable.  I did not feel like removing the unit from the dash but will gladly do so if anyone thinks that might make a difference.  Or maybe it just won't work from usb?  TIA

It won't work on a NEX unit. Totally different systems.  Try this method:

Alternate method - service password screen.

Hi all,

 

I have a F10BT that came with our new (used) car.

Can anyone tell me if there is a map-update for this unit? Currently it has a  EU-map from 2015 but I need a recent one.

I found a map-update on: https://hereshop.navigation.com/product/Catalog/Catalog_Pioneer_AVIC-F10BT/HERE-Pioneer-EU-MY09-10-High-2019/sku/T1000-27508/en_GB/HEREEMEA/EUR

It costs €149,- but I can't tell if this is really a EU-map from 2019.

If someone could help.....please.

 

Grts, David

"Here" is the official supplier of Pioneer maps. I'm not sure what your question is. It says clearly on the Here map page (in your link) that it is 2019 map, and is a "map of Europe", and it works for AVIC-F10BT. Keep in mind that the maps are often 1 yr old when they are released as an update product. So it won't be up-to-the-minute.

I feeling dumb af. Couldn't find the fuse in the service manual,can't find out how to remove the unit, no vids online. Anyone?

All double-din units mount the same, but the trim removal for each model vehicle will be different. If it isn't obvious how yours is removed you'll probably need to post question on some forum for your specific make.

Pioneer Navi X930bt

Hey, I recently had a battery replacement and the main fuse had blown in the process. Navi unit is showing no signs of power and I've checked the car electrical fuse box for any broken fuses. None found. 

Any troubleshooting I'm completely overlooking here? Does the pioneer Navi have its own internal fuse?

There's a 10A fuse on the back of the unit. If you don't have an installation manual, you should download one. AVIC-X930BT_InstallationManual040511.pdf

What is a "main fuse"?  You need to check check that both power wires have 12VDC (red=switched, yellow=constant). They would be on two separate circuits - so two fuses.  A voltage/multi meter would be useful.

However, I suspect someone screwed-up when replacing the car battery. Maybe + and - wires got switch or shorted. You don't normally blow a fuse when properly replacing a battery. If something did that, it could easily of fried sensitive electronics.

Although my old Nexus 5 worked fine with 3.32 firmware, I had to roll-back my BT firmware to 3.24 get my Samsung Note 10+ to work right. 

Remove that file (\NAND\SYSTEM\SECURITY\SECURITY.DAT) and the password will go away. Just to be safe, copy it somewhere first.

I assume you mean your old firmware was v2.0? yes

I think F9220bt is an Ford version of f920bt.

What do you mean by "used test mode to use backup"? To load my old backup

Did the boot back into the old firmware OK? Yes, back to old firmware.

So you had a backup with /USER, including PRG0 and PRG1? That's good. I'd keep that SD in a safe place.

One thing I forgot to mention. After a firmware update, if something isn't working - try disconnecting all power to the unit for 30 seconds. Easiest way is to disconnect the battery. Alternatively, pull the fuses for both the yellow and red power wires.

For an F920, I believe v2 was the original stock firmware. If so, the files in PRG0 and PRG1 should be identical. One thing you could try is to change the "current" program directory. You do this by adding or deleting (if already present) /USER/PRG.FLG (an empty file is OK - or just create a file on your PC named PRG.FLG and copy it to the F9220.

Then reboot and see if it loads OK. At that point it would be running the backup version. If it doesn't load OK, there is something wrong with the currently active PRG files or an issue with the physical storage. 

Either way, you could try installing 2017 maps (after running shortfuse if necessary). Unless you are not running stock Pioneer firmware or there is some hardware problem, this should work.

 HU starts again and again by the Pioneer logo.
What can I try?

First, get an 8GB SD and make a backup of /USER so you can recover from any mistakes. Also, if you have the original SD that you used to install the Shortfuse hack, save it. It would have the original APL\RenewalIFLib.dll files found in PRG0 and PRG1.

Next, when you said "avic-f9220bt. v2.0", I assume you mean your old firmware was v2.0. At first I thought you were saying there was a V2 hardware. I also assume that F9220bt is the same hardware as f920bt.

What do you mean by "used test mode to use backup"?   Did it boot back into the old firmware OK?

I don't have an answer to why V7.0 isn't running. I don't know much about the F series in general and the F9220bt in particular.  But I think there must of been some other changes/hacks made on your unit.

Hey,

I'm wondering if this hack is a one-time only install, or if it should be applied again before updating the maps again.

I used it for the 2017 update on my F920BT, but am now wondering if I should run it again when the 2019 update becomes available or if it's a persistent hack that gets preserved after a map+software upgrade.

If you ran it in 2017, it wrote the hacked RenewalIFLib.dll file in PRG0/APL and PRG1/APL. Only one of those files got overwritten by the 2017 update. When you install an update, it overwrites the "non-active" PRGn files with the new update's files. Then it makes the new PRGn the active directory by setting or deleting /USER/PRG.FLG. So I'd guess the hack needs to be installed again since the non-hacked one is in the "active" PRGn/APL

However, that's all just theory. No one that I know of has even tried the hack with 2019. So I guess we'll find out soon.

... again I ...

I am looking for a BackUp for F930BT Firmware 6 (Update 2015)

If necessary, the av.exe should also be enough.

 

Thank you

Why not just install the 2017 update? 

As for 2015, you can use the av.exe from the US/Canada version. The program files are identical. I have it for US. See attached zip.

Av.zip

I never recommend using hack mode because you have a 50% chance to having this problem. Someone who uses hackmode should bee able to help you uninstall it.

But your original issue with the keyboard probably was because the parking brake was not detected.

how long does it take to update from SD card?

To install the hack? A few seconds. If your question is about installing the map update, it belongs in the map update thread. Should take around 20-30 minutes.

...the unit no longer shows my iPhone connected in Bluetooth Audio mode but the phone is showing paired with the unit in the BT menu. Do revert the BT firmware version back to the pre 3.32 version or try something else?

You might try re-pairing the BT connection first.  Sometimes it is necessary to do a hard restart  after a bluetooth  upgrade. Simple  surefire way is to  disconnect the battery for 30 seconds. Or, if you know  both fuses that power the radio,  you can just  pull them. 

If that doesn't fix it then try older  BT firmware.  maybe even re-installing 3.32.

Hello All, ive just bought a vehicle with an AVIC-Z130BT installed but no backup camera.  Went to install a backup camera today and found there is no violet/white wire on the plug coming from the z130bt.  No wires missing from plug just no violet/white, can someone tell me what position this wire is on the plug (a picture would be very helpfull) thinking it might have the wrong color wire installed.

 

The Reverse wire should be in the Power Connector, pin 11.

Now, you are update.

I hope this post will help someone to avoid to spend lot of hours to find the good links and methods;)

Frederic.

Did you try just Step 3?  You should be able to update directly from V1.x to V7.0 (after installing the Shortfuse hack).
