Tony Stark Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 My AVH-W4500NEX now thinks it is a AVH-W8500NEX, I used the download information and noticed that the name is listed as a AVH-W8500NEX Just FYI most everything else appears to be working fine. Thank you for the info Bret Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twister997 Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 @Tony Stark yea, the original config doesn't specify the model correctly. It caused issues for me with android auto but worked fine with Apple carplay. You can use the one I uploaded if you have issues, it works correctly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
screwpioneer Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hello and thanks for writing this guide. I am not very computer savvy and I think this guide is written for those who are... After hours of work... I have the AVIC image mounted on the drive, and this is where I simply cannot figure out how to proceed... Im supposed to give partition 7 access to something... I don't even know what that means... After 6 hours of wrestling with myself to even figure out what a virtual machine is an install it... I give up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
screwpioneer Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 First, thanks for writing this guide... secondly... I'm not a linux guy... hell im barely a windows guy... After literally hours of trying to learn what a virtual machine is, and finally installing it and setting it up... I'm just lost.. I really need a guide for a non-computer guy... all the commands listed that I was supposed to put into the console result in errors. Basically... I'm buying a new head unit and pioneer can kiss my ass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

meh Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 On 8/5/2021 at 9:21 PM, jrgutier said: I believe that the firmware is defaulting to the W8400NEX when it can't lookup the 4500NEX product XML in sysd.conf. This was resulting in a really delayed startup. I transplanted the correct entry from the 8500NEX 1.08 update file using the strings command on the Platform PRG file, which fixed my problem.

all... Copied this config exactly and it booted, but no touch screen. It's really frustrating because I read and re-read everything before applying. Head unit booted really quickly too. Responds to buttons but no touch and no response to steering controls (Maestro RR flashing Red) Any ideas?? The ONE thing I noticed was that in the image I downloaded, there was only one model listed under the sysd.conf and the file itself was slightly bigger than the extract you posted. **sigh** Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The file you uploaded no longer appears to be available. I used the img file initially listed within the post instructions and added in the 4500 NEX product information that was listed in the later posts. However, my unit seems to think it’s an 8400 NEX. Any advice, since you got yours to work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Datsun Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 I added the 4500 info to the sysd.conf file and removed all the others. Now it has no choice but to pick the w4500 system info. Boots quickly now and so far it seems to work fine with the limited testing that I have done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bkmartin Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 I used the sysd.conf provided by @Twister997and everything works fine on my NEX 4500 except the steering wheel controls via the Maestro RR. Did anyone using the modded 4400 firmware get their iDataLink Maestro RR working? I'm wondering if I order the ebay firmware, will that fix the Maestro issue. Thanks for any other experiences to relate. Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bonee Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 Check serial number on radio and the RR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bkmartin Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 @bonee The model correctly reflects as AVH-W4500 and the serial number displayed on the unit matches the original serial number on the box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bonee Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 Ive had no problem with my steering control via RR. I've done is on 4400 to 4500 to 4600 had no problems Quote Link to post Share on other sites
easy-e Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Can someone create a 4500 image I can buy? My wireless CarPlay doesn’t work after I got an iPhone 13 Pro in its launch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Datsun Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Part #QXX3352 from PacParts.com will get you the w4500 firmware. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
