Pandora source only shows up when you plug in the iPhone/Touch.

Hello!!

I´ve the f20bt, with the 2.003 version updated from factory. I´m tryin to connect the iphone to the navigator but pandora link doesn´t appear (i´ve installed in my iphone the pandora link aplication). Do you know if there is any way to liberate this option in the european f20bt. I´ve compared the two firmwares (z120 and f20) and it seems they are exactly the same....

Has anybody found any kind of hidden menu as an other pioneer devices have??

 

Thank you very much

Hi, having read though the entire thread I've got to say, great work people, this truly is impressive. Following that I do have a question, I live in Australia, and the local AV market is very overpriced. If I were to buy a Z110BT from the US and update it with the firmware for the Australian F20BT, would that get me Australian navigation? I don't care about using the radio or the DVD player (do region free disks work?) since I have my iPhone loaded with all my music.

 

Thanks

Well... I recently moved to Finland from Canada and shipped my car over (which had the Z110BT installed). So, I took a chance and tried the upgrade to the EU maps. After reading the entire thread, it doesn't seem like anyone has done z110BT -> F20BT. All that was attempted was F10BT -> the z110BT hack -> F20BT. So, here's what I had to do:

1.) Installed the ShortFuse Hack (This went smoothly - Thanks Shortfuse!)

2.) Then I inserted the EU Version of CNSD-110FM SD1

- So this didn't work. Inserting the SD Card did nothing

3.) Downloaded the US version of CNSD-110FM SD1 and inserted it into the unit

- This worked. It prompted me the message. So, I chose not to continue

4.) I copied the US version of CARDINFO.cif onto the SD Card of the EU Version of CNSD-110FM SD1 and replaced the EU version.

5.) I inserted this SD card into the unit and it worked!

 

I can confirm that my z110BT now has the F20BT Software and Maps. I get the new UI and I have the EU maps.

 

But... there are a few drawbacks.

- Navigation does NOT work (You can't search for the address, can't search for POI's, it just gets stuck at the loading screen, etc)

- If you try to arbitrarily pick a spot on the map and select to Navigate there, it kind of works, but you don't get Voice Guidance.

- The regional settings are still for US and Canada, so I can't set my clock to the correct time. The most I can do is +9 hours which is 1 hour off from Finland time zone.

 

Other than that, everything seems to be working.

Where did you find European Version of CNSD-110FM?

Posted Apr 16, 2011 · 08:57 UTC#255

There's another thread in this forum where they mention the EU version can be found. So I checked it out and it was there:

Trying to download the torrent, got to 90%, but nobody is seeding now. Anyone mind getting on and seeding the file so I can get it? ?

i just tried it and i dont have the new firmware. now my head unit takes about 10 seconds to power on instead of 1 or 2

Posted May 22, 2011 · 05:39 UTC#259

Try removing the SD card. Then reboot. Since it didn't update, the reboot time shouldn't change.

 

also my firmware version shows 01.0000

 

That means the update didn't succeed. Did you install the ShortFuse hack? If you want help, you're going to have to provide much more info. What EXACTLY did you do? That model unit do you have? Which software US, AU or EU?

all i did was download the new firmware from pioneers site (1.001) and replace the 2 files that were provided with the 2 from the download. i emptied an sd card and dropped the AVICZ110 folder into it. then i slipped it in the unit and it took a few seconds but started updating. it got to 100% and said that it was rebooting. its been the way i described ever since! i am using us software i believe lol. i purchased this unit from amazon us about a year ago. any help would be greatly appreciated.

1.001 was a minor patch to the Z110. Fixs a few small bugs. ShortFuse's patch to 1.001 is just to circumvent the serial number validation when you install the real V2 update from Pioneer: CNSD-110FM, SD1. Its all documented in this thread. Read it.

Yes, installing V2.0 (CNSD-110FM) is the whole point. So, are you saying your version is still 1.00000? If you applied the ShortFuse hack, it should be 1.002. To tell:

1. Press the "HOME" button; then touch the "Settings" tab;

2. Touch the "System Settings" tab; then touch the "Service Information" tab;

3. Press and hold the top left corner of the “Service Information†screen;

4. The "Platform version" number and the "Application version" number are both displayed -- look at the "Application Version" number, which is displayed on the second line;

5. If the version is either 1.000000 or 1.001000, then you didn't do the patch correctly or you dont have the correct files on your SD.

 

6. If the "Version" number is "1.002000" or a larger number, the system has already been updated with the hacked firmware. Proceed with the CNSD-110FM update.

ok i just tried to redo the update because my application version was still 1.001. the first time everything went smooth so i thought it took but when i went back in, no dice. when i tried a second time nothing happened, it didnt even start the upgrade and then fail. my question is can i make another fake update number and get it to try to "reupdate" say 1.003??? if so where would i input the new update info??? PLEASE HELP! i have everything else ready to go.

The upgrade (either the 1.00000 from Pioneer, or the ShortFuse hack) will not install unless it is a higher version number than what is installed on the HU. My guess is (based on the fact that your version is still 1.001000) that you didn't correctly apply his replacement files. So, start from scratch. Re-download the 1.001 update. Replace the files with the same name from ShortFuse. Don't just copy ShortFuse's files onto the SD. Your SD should only have 1 folder in root (AVICZ110). If you have any other files in root of the SD, you aren't following the instructions correctly.

 

If need be, It is possible to create a fake version, like 1.0030000. You could do it yourself, or maybe ShortFuse would if you PM'd him. I think I recall him explaining how he patched the original. However, I doubt that is your problem. I just verified that the MD5 checksum of the file 1.001000.zip on Pioneer USA's website (Pioneer Z110 update) is the same as the one I used last year, so they didn't modify it to defeat the hack.

 

OR, you could try just proceeding with the V2 upgrade. If you can get past the serial number check, you're OK.:grin:

no reply. anyone else know how to get the unit to do another update from the sd?

Posted Jul 26, 2011 · 08:36 UTC#269

Took me a couple minutes to figure out why the bluetooth filmware update button wasn't working. Finally realized I had to turn bluetooth on to update it. Thanks works perfect.

This is off topic but this is yet another reason not to buy stuff on eBay if there is no way you can tell if its genuine or not. And just so everyone knows, memory products on eBay, particularly SD cards are often lower capacity cards from what they are advertised as.

 

Hello folks, as an eBay seller and buyer I have come across some issues with flash media,run media utilities (can't remember their names)just Goggle you'll find them, when you first get the media and look at the properties windows will tell you the ball par capacity, but if you try to load or copy any files to it that exceeds the real capacity it won't take them, the fist thing I do is format it, but beware, there are some hacks out there that will not allow you to do this with the regular format utility found in Windows, you must use one of those media utilities that are designed to do this. Just my 2 cents since I been away from networking and computers for a while I'm getting rusty on the subject matter, I hope that helps someone, bottom line buy from good sources some sellers (will)(not) be aware that the media they bought in large quantities are hacked.

Will this Mod/Hack allow me to change the font file's on this system?

Posted Aug 07, 2011 · 18:17 UTC#272

Does this crack work with an AVIC-F920BT Unit and the latest CNSD-210FM FW 3.0 (2011).

Maybe someone can report some results.

Posted Aug 17, 2011 · 14:47 UTC#273

Works on F920BT with 2.003 installed:

 

1. Get the RenewalIFLib.dll from 2.003 Update or from your device via Service Mode

2. Open it in hexeditor and find 57 0E 00 EB 03 50 A0 E3

3. Replace it with 57 0E 00 EB 00 50 A0 E3

4. In Service Mode: Delete old RenewalIFLib.dll in PRG0 and/or PRG1 and replace it with your patched version (from SD card)

5. Do the CNSD-210FM update (Enter "PASSWORDPASSWORD" when asked for password)

 

To enter Service Mode: Let the device finish starting. Press and hold "Home" then press right,left,right,left,right,left then release "Home"
