NOOB - HELP!!! Cannot upgrade firmware on my F20BT


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I'm having a massive problem updating my UK AVIC-F20BT to firmware version 2.00300. My unit just doesn't automatically startup into update mode.

I've followed instructions from Pioneer as below without any success.

 

PROCEDURE:

  1. Once you copied the file "AVICF20BT_APL2.00300.zip" to your computer, double click
    the file to decompress it. (If you do not have a decompression utility installed on your
    computer, you can easily download one for free.)
  2. Put the SD-card in the SD-card reader/writer.
  3. Copy the unzipped folder "AVICZ110" to the empty SD-card.
  4. Confirm that the folder name and the file size are correct on the SD Card. To check the file
    size in Microsoft Windows, select the folder, press the right mouse button, and select "Properties". If the folder name and size do not match the ones listed below, perform steps B and C again.

 

AVICZ110 –folder 63,9 MB (67.060.785 bytes)

 

Update the firmware of your navigation unit:

  1. Switch on your Navigation unit by switching on the ignition of your car.
  2. Press the [OPEN CLOSE] button and touch [sD Insert] (or [sD Eject] and remove the
    original card).
  3. Insert the SD card with the prepared Firmware.
  4. The update will start automatically and takes about 2 minutes.
  5. After updating process is finished, the unit will restart itself
  6. Verify that the Application version is 2.00300 by following the steps in section A.

 

I've not managed to get step 5 & 6 as step 4 does nothing.

I've tried two SD cards, formatted them several times (fat & fat32) checked to folder size and still the update fails to start.

Can someone please help.

 

Cheers,

Are you on a mac? I know very little about your unit. But make sure your SD card is formatted FAT and is a type that your avid can read.... I believe avic struggles with some sd cards

 

Yup on a MAC but also formatted on my Win7 laptop too.

 

The two cards I've used played music from them without any problems - my unit just won't update the firmware.
