zetaR Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Zeta wants to know if the US software could be compared to the EU software to see why the EU allows the brake wire to be grounded and then edit the US software. Good question.Yes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WRS Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Or you could just load the Europe version of the firmware and ground the brake wire. You will loose Pandora on screen because it doesn't work overseas but everything else is fine. I did that to my DA-02. Once you do it you can't go back until Pioneer releases a higher firmware.

WRS Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Yes that is the correct version. It won't work if you already have the American version of the same firmware loaded. You can't overwrite it. I had 4.14 so it worked. Yes FM still works. You can still listen to pandora but the display will be black on the appradio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Last question…probably stupid. What language is the install in? Assuming English is an option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wei803 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Not sure where & when my micro-bypass gonna arrive. So I've re-update my US 8.30 to UK 8.30, all I need is link the parking wire to chassis ground.

Thank you for that, I grew tired of trying relays and since I do not use Pandora ever I decided to upgrade the firmware on my AppRadio 2 to the EU version of 8.30 for use with my iPhone 4s. I was on 8.17 U.S. firmware which was a single .HAT file. I installed the file SPH-DA100_MMD_EW_Ver08.30.HAT and did not notice any difference except that the unit was set in the settings for iPhone 5, so I switched it back to "Other" and then installed the second file SPH-DA100_SYS_EW_Ver08.30.yuk That made all of the difference in the world. I just had to ground the brake wire and go to settings and switch the video source setting to "Other" again. No more video warning ever, and everything works perfectly including the radio since the firmware has no effect on the A.M. F.M. functions. For me, this was the perfect solution. Thanks for everything. Rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
