hez5 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Just found out from Pioneer Australia that they wont be introducing the NEX series to Australia. How annoying! I'm a relative novice in this area - but what are the pitfalls I need to be concerned about from buying a US model 8000 Nex and installing it in Australia? I''m guessing the US map is the biggest issue? How hard is it to load Australian maps? And will it be compatible with the mapping software on the NEX series? Thanks in advance ...

hez5 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Sorry but what do you mean by that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drenyce311 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 European version. In the US it's called the Avic-8000NEX. In Europe it's called the avic-F90DAB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hez5 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Thanks - do you mean the Avic F60DAB? I couldn't find the F90DAB? Anyway - interested to know if the NEX can be updated to Australian maps? Does it work the same way as the F60DAB? H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drenyce311 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Im assuming so Its the exact same model as the NEX. As for updating to Australia maps. Im not sure. Sorry. Maybe you can call Pioneer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hez5 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Yes I called Pioneer and they said that maps cannot be updated from EU to Australian maps. Not sure how true that is. I was tempted to ask if there was a 'hack' available that would allow me to do so. H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drenyce311 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 At the moment. No hacks. But im pretty sure some developer will Quote Link to post Share on other sites
