Fantastic! Thank you Ron!

Does anyone happen to have a saved copy of the product information for the map update? The link on the official website is unfortunately dead. AVIC-Z110BT, AVIC-Z120BT, AVIC-X920BT CRD5009A.pdf I'd like to find out what other software changes might be included in the update before I purchase it myself. Thanks!

I'm afraid it's the same process for cell phones and basically all consumer electronics these days - the manufacturer releases updates for a couple years, and then eventually discontinues maintenance on that product. I think there are a few factors involved: 1. Continued updates may require additional licensing (from NAVTEQ) 2. The user base on older products grows smaller over time so there is less overall benefit 3. Any software update requires significant engineering resources to produce It seems that Pioneer doesn't roll these costs into the initial product price (for better or

Hi Deemorz, Sorry to hear of your troubles Just to make sure, you tried inserting an SD card with TESTMODE.KEY before turning on the radio? If you see that something is running on the radio, I would expect it should check the SD card on boot, although maybe not after the update program starts (unlike during the normal radio application).

Ok, after some tweaking, I got my script running. My active software is in PRG0, so I put the MortScript files from Condi's HackMode into \USER\PRG1\APL: Av.exe, commctr1.dll, coredl1.dll, killproc.exe, MortScript.exe, toolhel1.dll. Then I created the following Av.mscr in the same folder: # VR database rebuilder script ErrorLevel("warn") Delete("\NAND\RW\VBT\EN\EN_US\FINISH.db") Run("\NAND\PRG0\APL\Av.exe") Exit Finally, I added PRG.FLG into \USER. The VR database rebuilds every time now. I tried my alternate idea of copying a known working copy of the VR database every boot, but

I think it will be too hard for me to reverse engineer the VBTEngine.exe interface. I don't have IDA and it seems to be very expensive software so I decided to focus my efforts on forcing the VR database rebuild. I downloaded Condi's HackMode and spent some time understanding how it works by looking over the scripts and the forum posts. I realized that I can use a similar idea to accomplish my objective: Replace Av.exe with Mortscript, just like in Condi's HackMode, except modify Av.mscr to delete FINISH.db and then run the original Av.exe. This way the VR database is rebuilt every boo

I used testmode to investigate the issue further. I found that the VR database is stored in \USER\RW\VBT\EN\EN_US. In this directory, I noticed a file FINISH.db. I discovered that if I delete this file, it causes the system to rebuild the VR catalog properly. So I can carry an SD card in the car and delete this file when the problem occurs instead of resynching the iPod. This is better, but I'm also trying to find a nicer solution. By deleting FINISH.db and letting the system build a new VR catalog, I was able to compare a working copy of the VR database files to a non-working copy - the

Hello everyone, I have a strange problem that I was hoping that somebody might be familiar with I have an X920BT upgraded to X940BT using the official 2013 map update. I have a 160 GB 4th gen iPod classic with about 8,500 songs. The headunit builds the VR catalog fine and iPod voice commands work for around a week, then suddenly it seems to forget all the song/artist/album VR information. Any iPod voice command causes it to respond with "what was that?" or "i didn't understand you". The workaround is simple, but annoying - resynchronize the iPod with iTunes, then the headunit will re

I have the X920BT with the GEX-P920XM and it has the exact same problem. Sometimes the logos show up, sometimes they don't. Sometimes half the logos show up. If I switch to FM for 30 seconds and then back to XM they usually show up again. Very annoying. I guess they didn't fix that bug on the X930BT. If you figure out a solution let me know

If the password is missing from the sd card packaging, you might be able to contact Pioneer and have them reissue it.

I thought that the new map update also added spoken street names to the navigation. Instead of saying "Right turn ahead" it would say "Right turn ahead on Main Street". The 2010 software could only speak freeway numbers. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Thanks!

Vandal, thanks for the great tool and all your effort creating the new logos - it definitely is time consuming! Attached is an updated pack for the Zxxx series that includes the logos for KIIS, Z100, and WLTW. This pack works with the AVIC-X920BT as well. I've also attached the photoshop source files for easy resizing to the other receiver types in case someone is interested. The PNG logos inside are from the XM channel guide PDF captured at 800%. Edit: On second look, I'm not sure if photoshop saved the images at their original resolution, so maybe the photoshop files aren't so useful

I tried to splice in the Onstar mic to my AVIC-X920BT but I was unsuccessful. The sound was very quiet. Searching the internet, someone suggested that it is a powered mic and needs to be biased with 6 volts. I tried constructing a simple voltage divider to bias the mic but it didn't seem to make any difference. Also the mirror is glued shut so I couldn't open it without fear of it breaking. In the end I spliced into the Onstar mic wires under the center console and then spliced in again right behind the mirror and connected the Pioneer mic. It makes for a pretty clean installation.

Every photo editor is slightly different, but usually there's a resize menu option where you can specify the new dimensions. You may have to uncheck "lock aspect ratio" or something similar.

Sorry, I'm not sure about the pixel ratio for the AVIC-X910BT
