Rickna Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 I've been trying to update the FW on my 7100 from 1.05 to the current. I went to Pioneer's site DL'd the current FW. Following the instructions, unzipping to USB and so on. When I tried to install,via the "Settings" > "System Info" "Firmware Update" I get a file error "Please connect a USB or SD card containing only the update file". There are 12 folders on the drive and 13 files in the root of the drive. I have tried with 1.09, 1.10 & 1.11 with the same result. Am I doing something wrong here? Should I even update? Any insight/help is much appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bonee Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Put USB in usb1 on the radio. Format USB to fat32 filesystem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rickna Posted June 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Thank you, bonee. I have done exactly this a few times with different USB drives (Sandisk, Adata), and i get the result quoted in my 1st post. Below is a screen shot of the root of the USB drive. Looks to be the same file structure on the different versions of FW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bonee Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 My fault AVIC5100NEX. The folder to the root of USB or SD card. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rickna Posted June 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Ok, I finally got it. By putting the entire folder in the root it worked (must be the meds...). Thanks so much for your help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
