Ok so a BIG,BIG,BIGthanks to everyone that put all the hard work an time into this for us.
I have updated my frimware from 2.003 to 6.000 an to the 2015 USA CANADA MAP on my Avic Z120BT. I can not confirm about the other units but for the Z120 it was a piece of cake to do. I am by no means savvy at stuff like this so if I can do it anyone can. It is very straight forward and easy to do. If you read over this whole thread you will get all the answers you need. An again a big thanks to everyone. I am very GRATEFUL TO YOU ALL!!!!!
So this is what I did for my Avic Z120BT.
1. Downloaded this, click the blue link here for newer units z130bt, z140bh, x930bt, x940bt - newer units
2. Once you have finished the download extract the files if need so. I didn't have to as Im on a Mac. You may have to extract the files if you are on a PC not sure about that.
3.Then open up the 2015 USA CANADA MAP UPDATE folder you downloaded. Find the CardInfo.CIF file then open the file with a text editor. Delete all the text and replace it with this info below. Copy from the # to the G in the text below.
4. Then Copy the UPDATE, FIRMWARE folders and the edited CardInfo.CIF to the root of a freshly formatted FAT32 SD card larger then 4GB.
5. Then insert it into your unit an then hit ok to update. This will take about 25 minutes to do an you must leave the vehicle running to update.
6. After your uint boots back up an you finish the units setup go into the bluetooth setting an then hit update firmware. This will take about 10 to 15 minutes to finish.
DONT FORGET TO THANK THE OTHER USERS FOR THIER TIME IN MAKING THIS HAPPEN.
I was digging around on the site again because I was wanting to see what you guys were all up to and if there were any updates on the software for these units. I have been on the fence about upgrading my unit to a newer unit because I have loved this unit since I got it, except for the fact that Pioneer never does updates and makes us pay for map packs BS IMO, but you guys always surprise me with your skills keep at it and thank you for doing what you all do in your free time to support the users and members of this site!
