MisterBLC Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Hello folks, new to this forum but this seems like the place to get help with my DMH-W4660NEX headunit. I recently updated the firmware and after still having issues with connections to android auto on my phone, I did a factory reset of the settings on the device via the menu interface. However, after this the device has entered a boot loop where it flashes a loading screen, the screen goes blank and then the headunit restarts. No error messages are ever shown. Do folks have suggestions on steps on how to resurrect the headunit? I have seen for other headunit models that folks are replacing corrupted SD cards...is this possible with this headunit? Any help and advice would be very helpful! Thanks in advance, Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MisterBLC Posted June 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 FYI for folks who may have a similar issue...I totally disassembled my head unit and there was no replaceable SD card or other reset mechanism that I could find. I think short of having someone at Pioneer reset it mine may be bricked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Finally, what was the solution, if any, to solve your problem ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NateB1995 Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Mine is stuck in a loop now too after trying a factory reset. Any solutions? Seems to be a bug in the head unit itself. Wonder if pioneer knows of this issue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
biskit Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 Oh Geez. I just triggered this same problem on my 7600 after a factory reset as well. Anybody have a resolution yet? I'm waiting on support to respond. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DougB Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 I'm having exactly the same problem. Any solutions yet from Pioneer short of a new unit? I customized my dash to accept the 7600 NEX so prefer to stay with that model head unit vs. switching to different brand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LegalEagle502 Posted November 2 Report Share Posted November 2 If there is a boot loop issue pioneer needs to resolve this as its a glitch. Not the customers fault. They came out with a firmware update that was faulty. The reset button has a purpose and if its not correcting the issue... Pioneer needs to make it right. Anyone call Pioneer and raise hell yet? Stick with my wording with Pioneer and press the issue. I am an attorney. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
