OK here is what I did step by step and for some reason I can't get the Z110BT to prompt me for the password when I install the SD card. I am thinking it has something to do with the Pioneer download, it may be patched or something. I am using a 8GB card, and I have several of them trying to get different ones to work.

1: I downloaded ShortFuse.zip

2: I downloaded from Pioneer

3: I replaced both files with the ShortFuse ones.

4: I formatted the card as instructed.

5: Installed the card into the Z110 and it updated.

6: Downloaded the torrent and unzipped it

7: Formatted another card (absolutely nothing on it)

8: Installed the three files onto the card, Firmware, Update & CARDINFO

9: Put the SD card into the Z110 and ..... NOTHING.

10: Got the same card from steps 1-5 and formatted it.

11: Installed the three files onto the card, Firmware, Update and CARDINFO

12: Put the SD card into the Z110 and ..... NOTHING.

13: Formatted both cards AGAIN, downloaded the files AGAIN, installed and still can't get the Z110 to ask me for a password.

14: Just to see if it would work, I updated the BT profile to make sure the card reader on the Z110 was working.

15: Installed the 2nd BT update perfectly.

Please help me figure out where the problem is. I am using three different SD cards (8GB and 4GB) and downloading the files repeatedly to make 100% sure everything is working. I am following the instructions and the only thing I can come up with is the Pioneer download has been updated or patched.

After downloading and upzipping the file 5 or 6 times (and putting it on the SD and formatting every time) I got it to work. Didn't do anything different, just kept formatting the card and moving the file over to the SD and installing into the radio. Finally it worked.

I am using a factory Pioneer mic and not having any of the issues other people are talking about. It sounds crystal clear and works perfectly. It's actually the best BT I've ever used.

HTC Evo (Android)

And some other crappy phone

All are working perfect.

Glad you finally got it working. Sometimes it takes a lot of persistence. Thanks for posting your resolution - it will encourage others who might otherwise just give-up.

Also good news on the mic quality. Some people call it a BT problem, but there is nothing wrong with the BT, per se. The weak link is the mic's sensitivity and finding a good location. I think a lot depends on the noise environment in the car. Mine is sort of loud - engine/exhaust/tire noises. The mic picks up all that too. But I don't expect it to sound like I'm in my office or living room. So I have no complaints.

WORKS LIKE A CHARM.. THANKS GUYS !

Worked great. Very easy. Thanks to all.

Worked like a charm. Thk you!

I just noticed there is a firmware update for the Z120BT to 2.003. I have the z110bt running the 2.000 software from the z120bt. Can I update my unit to 2.003? Thanks.

FYI, I just got the "insert correct SD card" error message a little into the OS upgrade, and I'm pretty sure it was caused by the cheap USB SD card reader that I have. I tried it twice on the cheap card reader (including a full format on the second attempt) and it failed both times at about 3%. I then decided to try the same SD card on a laptop with a built-in card reader, and it worked on the first try.

Worked like a charm! THANKS....Now I'm ready for the next one!

I have a question, and sorry I do not understand this upload (not very good with computers)

I see on the Pioneer website the map upgrade is now 99.00

Is this what this upgrade does?

Can I just purchase the map upgrade and it is the same?

Thanks

Bryan

Hi

will this upgrade method work if I've already done the upgrade? My Z is acting weird and I wanted to try to reinstall the software to see if that would fix it as thanks Dave

Thank you all! It worked perfectly for me. Icing on the cake is that I got AVIC Feed app to work again! Win.

Next mod, back up camera and probably the traffic tuner (ND-TMC10).

Don't hook-up the ND-TMC10 until you install the soon-to-be released upgrade. It's been reported that without that, the HU won't support the new tuner - and you'll get errors.

Ooo, thank you for the heads up.

I must suck. I can not get this to work for the life of me. I not computer savvy. Any one local or in the oc socal that would like a 12 pck to do this!

I can help you out. Just did it recently so I am sure with both of us, we can get you going. Shoot me a PM and we can take it from there.

Does this have the updated US maps for the 110? If not any idea where I can find the US map pack?

The topic of this thread is updating the z110 to z120, so I am assuming that is the update you are asking about (not the Z1x0 > z130), which is available from Pioneer but has not yet been posted. Yes, this will update the maps of your Z110 to 2010 maps. No, the map pack is not available separately.

Ok, First off... Shortfuse and the rest of the guys that helped put all this together, you guys rock!!

Followed all the steps, and everything works like a champ. I've done so much reading in these threads before I tried, I just wanted to have some things confirmed or corrected.

My service info shows 2.000 instead of 2.003. When I go to Pioneers site to search for a 2.003 update, I get the same file name as the one all this started with, AVICZ110. Do I just re run this again to update, or is the latest link for this at the beginning of thread including it, and it just says 2.000, kinda like shortfuse's 1.002 mod shows 1.000 after its done?

Thanks, and sorry in advance if I missed this tidbit somewhere. Now where is that Paypal link?

When doing sd1 portion nothing happens....Does the name of the file have to be dsomething different?what am I doing wrong...Nothing is booting when I put it in unit...

Thanks for the files, but has anyone uploaded to Filesonic, Fileserve or Hotfile...

Coz my connection with the torrents is not good but can easily download from these providers..

Regards

Just for my clarification.. my z110bt will update to z1120bt American and not the European version..

Or if anyone has the european version is Pandora available

Just finished the upgrade... THANK YOU so much for the step by step...took about 30 to 40 minutes with the blue tooth upgrade...

Now next huddle is to change the maps... Anyone succeeded on this venture..

Thankss

I was able to download the torrent file but it doesn't seem like anybody is seeding... any help? Thanks in advance.

when i start this process

You can do all this from one sd card or two.

 

Once torrent is downloaded.

You will have a folder CNSD-110FM default location under c:doc settingsyour usernamedownloads

Open the folder c:doc settingsyour usernamedownloadsCNSD-110FM you will see two more folders

default location

c:doc settingsyour usernamedownloadsCNSD-110FMSD1

and

c:doc settingsyour usernamedownloadsCNSD-110FMSD2

 

Open these folders and extract contents with winrar to

c:uploadsCNSD-110FM-SD1

c:uploadsCNSD-110FM-SD2

 

TIME for another FAT32 format

Format your SD card in fat32 right click on the sd card and select format under my computer.

Copy content of folder c:updateCNSD-110FM-SD1

and put it on the root of the SD drive.

 

lets say sd drive is is j: drive it really could be any letter f: u: c: k: .. I don't know the driver letter for your SD card. ( You do have a SD card reader RIGHT?)

you will have two folders and one file on j: drive

 

j:Firmware (folder) plus all the content of the folder

j:Update (folder) plus all the content of the folder

j:CARDINFO.cif (file)

 

 

now take the sd card and put it in the z110bt

 

This will start the upgrade it will ask for serial.. just type leters until you can type no more.. (no numbers) letters only.Then continue. This takes about 25 min..

when the pass word comes up i enter what ever password as you say and it say invalid pass code.. aka re enter pass code. ?? i must be doin it wrong.
