Hi dlbrow10! The place where I look for new maps is here: http://www.navigation.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/Navteq-NavteqNorthAmerica-Site/en_US/-/CAD/ViewStandardCatalog-Browse?ShowAllProducts=YES&CatalogCategoryID=zBgKCghBJ7UAAAFHkQd1WV1v My unit is a 9310bt, I've been going in regularly to see if the new 2016 maps are out yet. Nope! There are 2015 Maps available now for all units except for models with a '50' in the model number.. ie: the 950 or 850 there are 2014 maps available now. In the past the new maps seem to come out (for Pioneer) in July or August ... which i

Hi fugue! I have a 2012 Subaru Legacy as well (2.5 Limited though) and the x9310 as well. I was going to take to a car stereo shop this summer to get the bypass done. i might try this!! Cool idea.

Hi RonS! Our Legacy, as far as I know, isn't a grey market car. We bought it from a Subaru dealer here, warranty through Subaru Canada. Our car was made in the US though. Wonderful car! It does have day time running lights. Personal preference I'm afraid on always driving with headlights on. It's just how I've always driven. We live right on the coast. Lots of fog and rain. Our car was new from the dealer. Our model of the Legacy (it's a Limited sub model) came from the factory with the 9310 installed. So I'm assuming it was wired right. Anyway, our preference doesn't really affect any

Thanks RonS! I just tried what you said... However, whenever I put on the headlights the screen dims. This happens whether the unit is set to Day or Night. Also tried going into Map Setting and changing to Daylight or Automatic. The screen still dims when the headlights are turned on. Any more suggestions? Thanks

Hi We have an 9310 in our 2012 Legacy. Irregardless of day or night we drive with our headlights on. This dims the 9310s screen, while fine at night, during the day the screen isn't readable. I was thinking I could use a switch to interrupt the illumination wire going to the unit. Don't know if I want to muck about with the wiring. Is there another way? So... Is there a way (non wiring way) to have the screen not dim with the lights on? (We would still need to dim the screen at night.) Thanks

Hi! Yes there is a 2015 map update for the 9310, 930, and 940, just go through this link: http://www.navigation.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/Navteq-NavteqNorthAmerica-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewStandardCatalog-Browse?CatalogCategoryID=dCoKCghBY2EAAAE5kqYHXzWa&ShowAllProducts=YES Hope this helps. I've got mine ordered now. Just waiting for delevery. Thanks

Hi! We have a x9310 which has been updated with the 2013 maps. I see that the new 2015 maps have just come out and these are from 'HERE'. Not Navteq. Is Pioneer moving away from Navteq maps? Has anyone done the update to these new maps? Are they any good? Thanks

Hmmm... That's interesting. Both old and new windshields look similar. Both have the shading. However the antenna is about and inch lower on the windshield now. With the old windshield the antenna was pushed right up top to the edge of the headliner. Couldn't see the cable running front it. Now I can.... Maybe that's the difference. Thanks

We have a x9310bt in our 2012 Subaru Legacy. I believe that our gps antenna is inside the hockey puck sized plastic thing that is affixed to the upper right inside corner (ie upper right passenger side) of the windshield. Some low life type smashed the windshield in the middle of the night a couple of weekends ago. We replaced the windshield the next day. The gps antenna is in the same spot on the new windshield as the old ...... However the gps is more accurate! Before the gps might show us as on a street to one side. Now we are on the right street. Any ideas what caused the improved

Hi! Interesting topic! The upgrading an older AVIC X to a newer NEX unit. This is what we are thinking of doing as well. Our Subaru came from the factory with a x9310. While it has great sound the tiny little icons are difficult to operate as we drive. So the thought of the larger Carplay icons is appealing. However, the thought of having to re run the GPS cable, the iphone cable through the center console, re-wiring things in back is kind of daunting. Are the connections the same on the back for an older AVIC and the newer Nex radios? Was it simply unconnecting plugs from the bac

Hi! Looks great on our 9310bt in our 2012 Legacy. Thanks

Hi! With the new unit everything works perfectly. Except of course for the AppRadio thing. That never worked. Have given up on that!! Apple has announced CarPlay .... iphone integration that will most likely work unlike Pioneer's attempt. Unit looks sleek too. Can't wait.

Hi Well I learned something today..... The dealer pulled the replacement unit. It was a 9310bt. No model number on the front panel under the eject button or Navteq maps like my original button. I thought that 9310s only came with those (model number and Navteq). Well what to do... I had the 2012 map update from my original machine. And I also had the 2013 map update that I had purchased to install (but not installed) on my original unit. So I called Pioneer Canada tech support. Gee I actually got through. Surprise. And someone helpful too. Double surprise. He said that a unit w

Hi! Yes, I received my 2013 Pioneer map update today. It shows as compatible units as;Z130, Z140, X930, X9310, and X940. So that says to me if you updated a 930/9310 to a 940 using the 2012 map update. That this should work too! So once I get a 9310 installed again in my dash I will be ready to go. Thanks

Hi! My x9310bt needed replacement (bluetooth would connect then disconnect, music through the 51V cable stopped working, and the GPS would show us on the next street over depending upon the direction traveled). Took it into our Subaru dealer. They said warranty repair. I said great! They ordered one in (it comes from Pioneer Canada) and yesterday was the day. They put it in... Well in the bright of day today, I saw that the unit wasn't the same as the 9310. The icons on the audio screen are different - no AHA or Pandora. And at boot up the trademark lines said that the maps are fro

Hmm. Just tried the link in my post and it didn't take. The link takes you to Navteq that provides the map update. On the right side of the screen (through the link I provided) click on the Pioneer Navigation Update link.. This takes you to Pioneer. A list of models is shown. Scroll down to the 930bt. In the middle column click on the link. This should take you to a new screen that is looking for your model. From the drop down menu choose 930 (or as I did the 9310). You'll now have a screen that talks about updating the 940 on oneside, and the 930 or 9310 on the other. That is how I to

Hi I tried the 4.6 firmware update on my 9310. The 9310 and 930 are the same. My install did not work. My unit prior to the 4.6 install worked fine. After the install bluetooth wouldn't stay connected, neither could we play music from our iphone 4s. The GPS became a little wonky. Subaru is replacing my headunit. The AppRadio thing never ever worked on my unit. While frustrating, the rest worked fine until I did the install of 4.6 So beware! However..... http://www.navigation.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/Navteq-NavteqNorthAmerica-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewStandardCatalog-Browse?Ca

Hi! Good question... I too have a 9310bt in our 2012 Subaru Legacy. I installed the 2012 map update in August 2012 ... and all worked fine. I too had heard that the 9310 with the 2012 map update made our unit a 940 (or like a 940). When I received a notice from Pioneer that there was a firmware update for the 940bt I tried to install that. Well that didn't go very well. Bluetooth doesn't stay connected now, we can't use our 51V cable for playing songs from our iphone 4S, and the GPS isn't accurate now. Depending upon which way I drive (N-S, or E-W) it might place us on another street 1 over

Hi! Received the notice of the update directly from Pioneer. I thought that when I purchased/installed the 2012 map update that this upgraded my unit from a 9310 to a 940. So I'm confused about your statement. Thanks

Also.... I have noticed that the update on the Pioneer Europe website for the F940 is just slightly larger than the X940 from the Pioneer USA & Canada websites. Can you use the F940 update to 4.6, instead of the USA/Canada one. I'm afraid of using the European one in case my unit's language changes to some other language - other than English... Thanks

OK I'm just not understanding this? I've downloaded this files (the 4.6 update) so many times, to try and get the UCom update to work, maybe its 10 times. And it still doesn't recognize the update version on the SD card. I've re-formated the SD card prior to copying the files & sub-directory over to the root directory. Before I downloaded the last time last night, I also downloaded the latest version of Winzip so that I could check that the downloaded file wasn't corrupt. I unzipped the Pioneer zipped file using Winzip (they wrote the program/invented the 'zip' file format so if an

Hi Yesterday I got an email for my registered x9310bt that has the 2012 map update (so now a x940) that there was a firmware update. I was excited about that as while my unit works great, the Appradio thing has never worked. So maybe now. So I download the update and the instructions. I downloaded the 4.6 one. I've tried many times. Downloaded a number of times. ....... Each time when I get to the part about updating uCon from 8.01 to the new version the updater says that the new version is ------- and won't update. As a side effect the bluetooth won't stay connected for our phones. As for

Hi VBlue42! But which update to do use? The 4.6? or the 5.1? (We have a x9310bt with the Navteq 2012 map update.) Thanks

Hi! The Appradio has never worked on my x9310bt. I do have the Pioneer 51V cable and it's connected to my iphone 4s (IOS 6) I did do the 2012 map & upgrade last August. I was wonder if I answered something wrong (or answered something wrong) during the install. I did insert the update SD into my x9310 again. However, it doesn't install again. Is there something that one has to do to re-install the update again? Thanks

Hi! I had the IT technician at work give me the right cable (USB Type A connector on both ends). I connected my Satellite Z830 to the x9310bt. The Subaru program noticed that it was connected (to something). The on-screen error message changed from 'connect a usb device' to something like 'the device is not available' when I connected the head unit to my laptop. So this program doesn't work with the 9310. Glad I didn't spring for buying a double ended usb cable. FYI Thanks
