It is 4 of us. So we ready to go ahead.

NO. PRG1 is 100% real pioneer's folder and it have to be on your device. Sorry but you have wrong ideas about your pioneer file structure. I suggest you - do not mess with files and folders yet, unless you clearly understand what you are doing, and keep reading especially post #1 here.

juanddhernandez and word2yamutha I hope you guys made backup first, so you need to copy av.exe back to your units.

Dear frozenwaffles do you have any news? I suggest that everyone interested in Australian map leave message here, otherwise it looks like I only one interested. But we got 180+ views and I got few PMs.

Let me guess, you did it twice, did you?and some info: what model do you have? What software ver it had? what ver of hackmode did you use? how many times you tried? Can you enter to testmode? (Hold Home button and press >>-<<->>-<<->>-<< release Home button) If you can - restore Av.exe from backup. (I hope you have backup) For 40/140/940 models search for EU update files and get Av.exe from there.

No. DVD module is separate device.

Go to testmode and copy USER and NDATA folders. You can find how to do it in Condi's topic.

I hope so %)I did password recovery and got just random set of letters and numbers as password. So I am up and running again but it is complete mystery for me how it all happen. I didn't set password and I do not believe my mechanic did. So may be it was software glitch of some kind.

I've been thinking same but today I got my car from service and got same problem. I've installed brand new unit myself and It was no password - 1 000 000% garantee.

FYI: \NDATA\NDATA\AV\XMLPS and \NDATA\NDATA\AV\XMDPS- you have your XM logos stored there.

Hi mate, Nice to see you back. About GPS software: we waiting for working hack that will allow as to run other software. One guy in Belarus reported that he has working portspliter and can run IGO with satellites now. Only he working for integration in standard shell. But while we are waiting for working solution - Can you please share your (used) Update SD card contain?

Hi mate,I should work with any region units.

Thank you Pionara! I would be glad if someone can help us out. So... Does someone have Australian model of F40/F940 here?

Hi mates, We have some Australian users who can be interested in map update. Here we have way how to update maps, Herethey sell maps. Should we buy it together? May be someone already has update card (even used one should work)

Then... try this topic. There I have backup from my X930BT. I think you need only USER folder.

because you have a z120 updated to z130, I would suggest to replace one in PRG1. But it would be no harm to replace both.

Hi Mickey, You most likely have killed AV.EXE. Search this topic for couple of pages backwards for European update for F40 unit and download it. Inside this archive you will find that AV.exe file (new version). Rename av.exe to av1.exe and replace av1.exe on your device you will have it up and running again.

To who need original files from F40: Check couple of pages before, it was a link to EU update for F40. There you can get all files you need to restore.

Russian forum is here, but to see it you must register and log-in first. Otherwise it is invisible. This link leads to exact post where that guy started to describe his achievement.

Unfortunatelly method from F220/U310 is not working for us.

Some good/bad news: Someone reported on russian forum about working modified portspliter that allows him to run IGO Primo on his F930BT with working GPS. So now he works on integration of "aftermarket" Navi programs to stock shell. He estimates that it will took him 2-4 weeks to get stable and working hack. And to install it we need working testmode or hackmode. So bad news for F940/F40/X930/Z140 units owners- you need to work out how to get working testmode. And if someone interested in this hack- please do not update your units yet. Update for EU units for F940/F40 has identical files

Take a look here. it looks like it blocked on windows bootup level. So Pioneer's software has nothing to do with keeping this port busy. We need to check windows files that running in hackmode v1.2 You know where to get that old hackmode do you?

Here is updated firmware with cracked testmode. This Testmode have Copy/Past enable. Do not use previous link.

That complicate it a bit. But you need to know- after you update software you will loose ability to do something via testmode. And fresh map sits in NDATA oflder. %)

Look at this, I put it on other thread, but it can be worth to try:Update should be on two SD cards, first card has map update and it will ask you to get password, second card should be software update and it should not ask you anything. As advice: Try to update map first, and after update have finished, go in to testmode (if you have't updated software it will have copy/paste option) and copy contains of NDATA forlder -it will have new map on it. Than you will have chance to put new map in to other unit using testmode. Make backup of second unit's NDATA folder before making any changes. Onl
