Sounds like you are already at 2.003 (or 2.004). Are you sure you are looking at the correct version number? You need to follow the procedure in the instructions to see the hidden screen. You need to look for App Version.

 

 

Try installing 2.004 one more time. Then go ahead and try installing CNSD-210BT. No harm if it doesn't work. If you get past the password check, you're gold!

Hidden screen and App version? I never ran across that mention.Maybe it did get to 2.004 and I just looked at the wrong place. I have tried it a few times but not CNSD-210BT will give it a shot.

Well I tried it a couple of times and CNSD210 SD1 doesn't get recognized,. I even tried SD2 for chits and giggles. Nothing happened. So how do I correctly look for what version I am running?

Well I loaded the files differently, all of them separate and not in one folder and that worked. It is uploading the SD1 now. Sweet, I guess I was running 2.004.

It now says running 3.000.

I'm on version 1.0000 and I don't want to upgrade to the UI used in z120bt - - I like the simple view without the clutter. I have the CSND-210FM files but it's requesting a password. How can I bypass this pwd request? BTW... I pulled the file from here (http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6696707/PIONEER_AVIC_CNSD-210FM_US_CAN_UPDATE) but the password they suggest doesn't work.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

You need to get the Pioneer update 1.001 and patch it with files from the Shortfuse hack. Copy the modified update to SD and install. This puts you at 1.003.

Now install SD1 of CNSD-210FM - the one you couldn't install b4.

Enter "PASSWORDPASSWORD" when prompted.

Then update your BT firmware twice: 1st with SD1, then SD2.

For more detailed instructions, read this thread.

Okay. I'll try that out.

Sidebar: Will that 210FM update change my UI to look like the z120BT UI? You know... the one with all the crazy screen scrolling and clock that covers content at the top right?

Ignore my last post... I upgraded everything and it's working well thus far. Thanks all!

I upgraded mine that had software ver 2.0 and it worked great. I tried installing it on my friends Z110 with software 1.0 and it didn't work. I download firmware 1.001 and copied over the shortfuse hack but the update does not start. Does the hack not work on ver 1 software?

Thanks.

You need the hacked files for 1.001. Sounds like you copied the 2.003 Shortfuse files into the 1.001 update.

I also want to thank Shortfuse for making this workaround. I downloaded the update and seeding it.

I have the Z110 and updating to the 130. I accually purchased the 120 update mid '11. so this is nice not having to spend the $120.

Copying the files to the SD card as I type. I have a pretty good connection here. someone is currently uploading at 6mbps. thats a pretty good upload speed for cable.

Thanks again Shortfuse!!!

You must make a mint coding.........

Worked like a charm.

Where do I donate????

Finally did the upgrade last night...

Worked like a charm. When from 1.000 on a Z110 to the 3.000 no problems at all. Thanks to all, expecially Shortfuse!

Best $11 i've ever spent!

Now to get the unit into the car again... been sitting on the shelf since Feb 2010 when my old car got bent in half by the stupid old woman in the mercedes that thought crusing throught the stop sign at 35mph into the door of my car was a good idea. B1tch...

She was probably watching a DVD on her bypassed Z130

I was unable to get the US torrent (CNSD-210FM) to start downloading, it just says error. Where can I get the file?

Thanks!!!

First off I would like to thank everyone that has contibuted to this topic. I have a Z120 and am running the update from Pioneer last August, 2.003 i belive. (Unit is at home and I am at work) I want to install the US CNSD-210FM this weekend and have downloaded it and the 2.004 hacked files. I have been reading all the posts here and am still not clear if I am correct on how to upgrade my Z120. Is it as simple as replacing the two files in SD1 with the files in 2.004 then installing SD1 then SD2 as I allready am updated to 2.003? Or do I have to start with AVICZ110BT?

No, that's not even close.

You need to download 2.003 from pioneer. Follow their instructions on creating an SD, except replace the two files with the ones from your 2.004 hack. Then insert the SD and let it update (for all of these updates, make sure your battery is charged and that you don't loose power).

After you have 2.004 installed, then insert CNSD-210FM SD1 and let it install. Enter "PASSWORDPASSWORD". After rebooting, insert SD2, then go to your settings/Bluetooth Settings and scroll down to the firmware update selection. Press it and follow the prompts/messages.

Thanks RonS! I really appreciate your help on making this clear and simple. I read every post and couldn't find anything stating how to start from already having 2.003 installed so i wasn't 100% sure. I will give it a go tomorrow and post how it went.

Well I did the update on the weekend and all went well. Only took about 40 Min. total. Thanks again to RonS for making this a simple upgrade.

In case anyone was interested, here is the manual released with the CNSD-210FM upgrade: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/Manuals/Car/CNSD-210FM_UpgradeInstructions.pdf

Thank you everyone who donated and made this happen. It works perfectly!

Put SD1 back into your PC, using Explorer - open the drive of your SD1. What files/folders do you see? If the HU doesn't find the upgrade files in the right place, it assumes it is a media disk and it scans the SD for playable media files - and plays them.

Are you saying you have a folder in the root of your SD called SD1?

BTW, what is your current installed version number?

Did the Shortfuse hack install OK?

Check the version number of your current software by completing the following steps:

1. Press the “HOME†key
   
2. Select the “Settings†tab
   
3. Select “System Settingsâ€
   
4. Select “Service Informationâ€
   
5. Press & hold left upper corner of the “Service Information†screen for a few seconds
   

What is the Application Version that is displayed?

nothing worked.. none of the sd cards i made.

appver 1.000

platform 1.001

bt fm 2.50
