Thank you Sir.

 

This worked for me. This morning my Bluetooth, while I was streaming music, randomly just stopped, and then the Bluetooth was literally inoperable. Have been using the system for about 2 years with no problems and randomly the Bluetooth part of it just stopped working. Same symptoms as others, options greyed out, firmware showing '------', etc. 

 

I have already done the application update manually before, so didn't bother with that but the Bluetooth firmware files you posted were perfect. I did the first update initially, and the Bluetooth actually started working at this point already for me, but I did the second one anyway. Both updates took about 5 minutes.

 

:-D

regarding time - did each update take 5 minutes, or did each update take 2 1/2 minutes? Thanks

Ok witnessed another problem after this above method which helped me.

 

It seems that everytime I turn the bluetooth off, the bluetooth software gets screwed up. When turning bluetooth off the the bluetooth settings menu on the unit, the bluetooth turns off but cannot be turned on again. When you try it just kind of keeps loading then sometimes I end up in the same state I was with the previous issue where things are blanked out.

 

Fortunately, the software/firmware update still works after. This software is very ropey, so a heads up for anyone else with same problem.

The fix, loading 10.2 and 11.0, also worked for me. And yes, turning OFF Bluetooth caused the meltdown. Extremely crap software from Pioneer, especially when their solution is to milk customers for $230, when they likely know this fix will work. Last Pioneer auto product I'll likely purchase

My media audio turns off and cannot be turned back on. The song will start and the box will uncheck itself after a moment.

I have the AVIC X930BT and just installed the 6.0 that came with 2015 maps.

The media audio is either on for a brief moment or the check mark just won't go into the box.

Please advise. I did the remove battery for 30 minutes, but they yielded no results
