Hi

 

I recently received an EU unit and I have i wish to convert it to the Australia maps. I have read the full australia hack thread and all, but as a general question i am unsure of ...

 

I have version 1 firmware and I will first update to v2 . Do i have to download v2 from the EU pioneer site , or am i advised to download v2 from the pioneer Australia website? In both cases the maps I will add will be from the instructions in the australia map hack thread, but I cant seem to find the answer about the actual country specific firmware before i add the maps.

 

Or is the firmware itself identical between countries

 

Many thanks,

Mike

Hi,

 

Update from the pioneer eu site to the last version, and then install a modified data.zip with a world license (example this>> http://alpaga31.free.fr/perso/Mod_US-CA-UK/MB-IDT3.0-3b_EuroUK.zip) booting the unit in windows with a testmode (download here >>http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25367#p172474) and then download from internet maps for igo 8 and copy in the directory for this, search all problem at this forum.

 

bye
