Need help....Not sure if I'm posting in the right section, but I'm having a problem with my AVIC 9 NavDVD system.

Tried upgrading firmware with DVD disk and midway through the process the system hung/froze. Tried to downgrade back down with original disk and am now getting upgrade error, which prevents the system from working at all. I'm assuming that the newer upgrade disk I tried may've been corrupted. Stepped through most fix procedures I've found online including disconnecting the unit for a couple of days, but nothing seems to work. It's at the point now that the unit is is asking for a password or password code, which I don't have. Pioneer requires sending the unit in for repair for $200.00, plus charges for any work done on the unit. If anyone could assist with this problem I'd really appreciate it.

Hi Roland. Sorry to hear about your problem. You might want to try posting in the "General" thread. It seems like there are discussions about the AVIC 9 there, so maybe someone will be able to help.

Thanks and sorry about that......I did post in a couple of different forums because I was not sure which one to post in. Did some searches in some of the forums under AViC 9 but found none. It is a much older unit. I will post in General now.....

Thanks

My mistake, I moved it to the wrong forum, sorry.
