urboinoah Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Well I have some good news! I did some testing today and can confirm that the 32gb SD cards work great! I tried a Sandisk Extreme and an Extreme Pro and they both work well. As for the software I tried both the AVIC4500only file and a copy of the OEM SD card. Both seem to actually work really well but the AVIC4500only was version 1.02 of the firmware and the OEM SD card was version 1.06. I don't have steering wheel controls so I couldn't test those unfortunately. The headunit seems faster with the new SD cards and it is also way less buggy. I think my original SD card was pretty full for a while as my headunit got really buggy before totally giving out. Also the original SD card had version 1.00 firmware with no way to update it which is kinda werid. Pioneer really needs to support their products better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dd36 Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Mine says 1.06 too. Maybe they fixed some of these latent issues in 1.06. It is weird that it's not publicly available. The Ebay card is 1.02. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jnavic Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 I got 1.04 from them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hence it was weird his didn't work with Maestro but OEM replacement did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to say what's real and what isn't - it's unfortunate, but there are some people trying to recoup their costs, and some trying to just make money. Some you win, some you lose.

bassilap Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 On 2/11/2023 at 10:21 PM, dd36 said: Also, isn’t the underlying problem that the 16GB card fills up with logs or something? So wouldn’t a 32GB last longer? That was one thought but I don't think that's the case. My 4500 failed and i real-programmed the same SD card (took countless hours to figure out how to even make the card visible in a computer). And then it still had bootloop issues after reprogramming. So I think the flash memory just starts to fail. The other issue, even if it was a storage space issue is that simply putting it into a larger SD card doesn't mean there's more "usable" space available. The partitions from the image (specificially the partition where logs are stored) would need to be enlarged as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Supposedly, they are identical (the ones direct from Pioneer) 1.04 and 1.06 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
asd255 Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 Pioneer apps are the same in 1.04 and 1.06 Perhaps there are differences in the system libraries. but that would take a lot of time to check. unfortunately there is no change log Quote Link to post Share on other sites

4500IlIll Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 4400nex 1.00 firmware modded for 4500nex This one solved the issues of Bluetooth not auto reconnecting in Android and Android Auto not connecting that 1.02 has. https://1fichier.com/?yxrocgebhofeos5rbvi2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
