Wrong Firmware on new 8200


Recommended Posts

Need help. I just bought an 8200NEX from crutchfield. Checking the Firmware it says 1.02. I was under the impression 1.01 is the latest. The unit is glitchy as hell. Random reboots, switches inputs, and takes forever to boot. I have an 8000NEX in another car so I know how it should work and this is a step backwards.

 

My question, is there a 1.02 firmware out for the 8200NEX or do you think it was flashed wrong. I'm tempted to reflash with 1.01 but I'd like to back  up the current firmware. Is there a way to backup?  

 

Thanks.

I don't think it's a wrong firmware. It has just a lot of bugs. Latest version is 1.04. But I don't know where to download the update for the US units (uc models) just for the European (EU5 models) and Russian ones (UR models).

I think you have to wait a little bit until Pioneer USA will offer the update. Maybe someone else already has it.

Just got a 8200 that replaced a 8000 as well. Same deal. 1.02 firmware.

I have the 1.01 firmware in hand expecting to update the HU once installed.

Go figure when I saw that the unit already had a different revision than the ~latest~ one that was on Pioneers USA website

 

I drove the wifes car once since swap.

Have not noticied any bugginess except for one instance where bluetooth audio was playing, then it stopped as if it got disconnected and it also sent some weird feedback (aka, speaker pop). Not using onboard speaker lines - line out to Amps.
