    ebay maps

    The Q4 update worked perfectly for me. I have the 5100NEX and bought the 6100/5100 version, it took maybe 45-60 minutes to install and everything worked fine as of right now. Started the update before I left work and then just let my car run for a while when I got home. Went through and every state has updated Q4 maps, according to the titles of them in the content anyway. Will be driving around and testing it this morning but so far everything seems to have worked fine. Only thing I noticed is I had a custom car model I had added at some point to make my icon look like a rally car and that go

    Just wanted to say thanks to Asd for posting these and for replying back to me and being in touch through ebay and telling me over the weekend that the new one might be out before I go and buy Q3 and have Q4 come out a day later. I will be buying this today and doing the upgrade today or tomorrow. Thank you. Only question now is if Android Auto is actually necessary or worth the money.

    Oh really? That's a little upsetting knowing you can't just do it all yourself anymore. I guess in that case I will look into going through ASD. Is it worth getting Q3 now or is there any chance of a Q4/Q1 19 map coming out anytime soon? Also what exactly is Android Auto and is there any real benefit to having it? Does it just allow you to use google maps through the head unit and see texts/notifications coming through? I prefer using the GPS in my car rather than eating data with google maps. Would I be able to use the built in Navi and still receive notifications on screen that way or w

    Are there any complete guides to do it yourself if you did not want to buy it from someone on ebay, as far as which maps you need to download, licenses, and how to set up your flash drive? I remember following a pretty basic guide years ago when I updated my maps for the first time, but so much time has passed I don't remember where I was reading these guides, or which types of maps to download for the head unit from gpspower and what not. Would prefer to do it myself but it's nice to know someone sells a cheap solution on ebay vs paying pioneer over 100 bucks for maps that are going on a year
  5. Anyone have any ideas about this?
  6. I was wondering if anyone may assist me and if this is not the right place, or not allowed please forgive me and delete this post. I know when I was getting into this and modding my head unit to be able to update my maps and what not, I had found a forum that had collections of different gps maps and what not on it, which I believe I can still get back to. That being said, I remember there being some online live group chat thing that was almost dedicated to the NEX series units, and I do not remember if I found that link through here or through the other forum with the maps on it. I am trying
  7. Hey guys, this has been going on for quite some time and it is getting quite annoying and kind of defeats the purpose of even having the bluetooth in the first place I feel like. Audio used to be okay for bluetooth calls however lately it seems to be extremely low. Everything on my phone that I can find shows that call volume is turned up all the way, on the head unit my call volume is set to level 3 which is the highest it will go, and other volumes are turned up and it does not seem to be affected by the current volume setting of the music playing etc. Volume used to seem fine and I would ha
  8. Yes I did a .lyc file with it I believe. I remember having issues doing the manual copying and pasting though it was as if my iGO folder was write protected and I could not copy things to it, only do a full copy to back it up. I remember there being another script or something and I used that and it would copy everything from the iGO folder on the root of my flash drive over to the unit and that was the only way I actually got the update to work and I do not remember where exactly I got that script/testmode or however I did it = \. I guess if there's no license file for 2016 it's irrelevant an
  9. Hey guys I am looking for some quick advice/help and hope it's not too much to ask. I upgraded/updated my maps almost a year ago and got them up to date with Q3 2015 I believe at that time. I see Q3 2016 is out now and I would really like to upgrade to this. The problem is I kind of forgot exactly what I did to do it before and lost the flash drive I had used for it and I feel like I had found another guide that went a little more indepth that I am having trouble finding again now. Esentially I would like to upgrade from where I am, to 2016 newest maps. I want to backup my unit before
  10. Hey guys, so I have gotten that FW update installed and done the things in this post, got my 5100nex unit updated with new maps and everything on it etc. One thing I am still curious about though is if it is possible to make traffic updates and everything work? I'm not entirely sure what is needed to do to get this working properly, have tried installing files and licenses but traffic still shows up as red when I look at my files on my headunit as if it is not activated.
  11. Is it possible to make the 5100 speak streets by changing voice or is it only in the higher units that it is possible.
  12. Do you have a link or guide to switching completely to a new version? I have no complaints or real issues with this version after getting some extra features and updated maps on but voice control would be nice but I wouldn't know where to begin with that. One other thing is how do I know if traffic info is working or do I need a phone with the app installed or something to make that work?
  13. Hey guys been trying to do some searching around and I see the Q1 2016 maps are available, are there licenses available for these as well yet or no? Is 2015 Q3 the newest I can download to use on my 5100NEX? Downloaded usa/canada HERE 2015Q3 and all of the licenses and am going to move everything over when I get home from work and want to make sure I am doing it properly and with the newest, most up to date/best version out there as there are quite a few road changes happening in my area in the past year. Am I just missing the 2016 license somewhere or is there not one yet, and if not in theor
  14. Hey guys, I am new to all of this and did not know this was an option for my GPS. I am looking to do this but just wanted to clarify I understand it properly before I brick my device doing it wrong. I have a 5100nex on 1.01 FW currently. Before I do anything I must update to 1.05 from Pioneers website, correct? One I do this, I follow the first instructions in this post and I copy the crack files to my USB for 1.05 FW and then connect it to my device and follow the instructions to install it. Once this is on there I go to gpspower and find the maps I want (North america most up to date) and
