So I haven't read clearly that others who upgraded from Z110 --> Z120 via Short's mod can just drop this in and it works (?)...

Other question - can we simply use our existing SD card (making a backup of course)?

You can use any SD card. In fact, if you have a 4GB or better card, you can do this with just one. Format the card to FAT32, load it with SD1 and install it. Then format the card again, load it with SD2 and complete the install. When I first upgraded I only had one 8GB card (actually a MicroSD with adapter) and that's how I did it. I just made sure I left the ignition on while I was doing it, just in case.

With the headlights on, my NAV is in DAY mode; the map sky is light blue with clouds, and the map has all bright colors. With the headlights off, my NAV is in NIGHT mode; the map sky is dark blue with stars, and the map has all dark colors. This helps with the screen not being too dark during the day, and not bright at night.

 

You can aslo adjust the brightness/contrast/color for each mode by holding MODE key and adjusting the sliders.

 

Is this what you were speaking of? If it is, then you may have mis-wired your system; my AVIC-Z110BT (updated to a Z120) can do just this.

Hey yes, that is what I am talking about. And like an idiot as I was talking to my girlfriend, or listening I ralized I had never touched the "key" button on the keyboard,well I did and changed the keyboard format,duh. Im going outside right now to adjust the brightness. Thnx

I do have it set up to dim when lights are on, but I would like to darken it a little more at night,or if we are watching a movie to brighten it up at night.

I can confirm that everything works. Just make sure when doing ShortFuse's update that you copy AVICZ110\EU090APL.VER and AVICZ110\APL\RenewalIFLib.dll into their respective directories (my mistake was thinking they both go into the root folder). After swapping out traffic tuners, the BT update installed without issue.

Thanks to everyone that was trusting enough to send their money in, and to rgarjr for going out of his way to order it and create and post the torrent.

Well since there are other links o the CNSD update I am going to stop seeding, being I see no peers. But if you can't get it just ask and I will seed for you no prob.

And I would also like to thank everyone that donated, I was going to then couldn't. So thank you very much.

The update is cool and I can't wait to try out the ipod controls, mines in the house waiting for new movies, but what if we all paid for the update would we really be this happy?

I think it's great who ever started this site. I found AVIC411 wayyy back with my first N unit. Pioneer should be giving us these updates. How many of us have had older units and kep upgradeing? I know I have. Anyway thanks again everyone.

Just curious, where did all the seeders go? I jumped backed on and see I'm the only one?

All the peers have dried up, and the seeders followed. I'm not sure if everyone knows this torrent exist. Maybe there should be a new thread about it's availability.

So, I downloaded the torrent and did everything step by step and I have what I think is now a huge problem. When I first started the CNSD-210FM update it started up fine but then at 8% it stopped and said that the wrong SD card was in and to put the correct one in. I took it out (I had to hold down the eject button for about 5 seconds and then release) and then I just put it back in. It thought about it for a second and then said the same thing. So, from this point I took the SD card back out and reformatted it and put all the files back on. When I put the SD card back in it actually started working again and went all the way to 99% (it did take about 20 minutes to get there) when it hit 99% it stopped again and said the same thing (wrong SD card). So, I took it out and did exactly what I did the first time it happened but now it won't continue any further and actually when I put the card back in it now says it's at 98%. Now I am stuck, and I hope someone here knows how to help. Of course, I cannot do anything with the unit because when I turn it on, it says I need to insert an SD card to continue. I really hope I am not screwed. I would appreciate any help anyone has to offer.

wait... will that patch/crack work on a x920?

edit: nvm i expect it to... the x920 runs on the same system FW

DL Now. Will peer for a week once done.

I am thinking of getting the 130 and swapping out. Anyone thing it's worth it?

Worked beautifully. Unfortunately, I'm getting tuner error messages out the wazoo.

Looks like I have to pull the MSN Direct tuner

Card is bad. Reformat the SD card (again) or buy a new one. I had the same issue when upgrading from the previous update, reformatting the card (I had to do it three times) fixed the issue.

Thanks for the reply. You were right. It was the card. I got a new one and everything went smoothly from there. It feels good to be fully updated! Thanks everyone who had a hand in making this thing happen!!

are SD1 and SD2 folders suppose to be on the same SD card?

are SD1 and SD2 folders suppose to be on the same SD card?

Separate cards. So if SD1 contains SD1\blah1, SD1\blah2, SD1\blah3,

your first SD card should contain <root>\blah1, <root>\blah2, <root>\blah3.

are SD1 and SD2 folders suppose to be on the same SD card?

You could use the same card. First only put SD1 files on the card, update the receiver, once thats done format and put SD2 files on the card and update the BT. Thats what i did and had no problems.

are SD1 and SD2 folders suppose to be on the same SD card?

No, as stated below.

Place the contents of SD1 on ONE card. You should have only 3 things on the one card:

Firmware (folder) plus all the content of the folder

Update (folder) plus all the content of the folder

CARDINFO.cif (file)

Put the card in the unit and update.

Remove the card.

Reformat the card (FAT32, default allocation)

Put the contents of SD2 folder on the card.

Put the card in the unit and update.

I know this has been said before, and anyone with more info will be greatly appreciated.

I tried to do the update but the sd1 card goes upto 8 % and stopped and is asking for the right card, I have since tried 4 different cards and formatted and still the same thing, doesn't move forward and stuck at 8%. Any help......or words of wisdom. Also what happens now if I go the store to buy another one and turn the car off?

Hmm, well if it is only going up to 8%, maybe unzip it again as well as quick format the card. What unit are you updating, Z110BT untouched, Z110BT updated to the Z120BT? After I downloaded oh wait, did you download the patched file that you need to switch in SD 1 first? There are 2 files you need to drop in 2 spots after or before you move the files to the card. Those files are patched. I bet that's your problem. After I DLed and switched everythin I was going to repack it all with a write up on how to. Girlfriend was complainin though so I didn't.

Thanks Shanenatas,

I was trying to update the z120 with the 2.00300 version. I had done the patch and checked my version to be 2.004 before proceeding. However, I don't know what the real issue was but I have succeeded after trying multiple times. The issue I think I had most likely was some corruption possibly in the sd1 folder structure as I had my laptop suddenly restart when I was dwnloading the torrent file. So I decided to download the file again on a desktop this time and used the same old card I was getting errors with earlier and it went ahead as designed. I did turn my car off after being on for 2 hours and multiple failed attempts and went back to start and it asked for a sd card. I inserted the card and it started the process forward from 8%. Current version is 3.0

Thanks everybody for their input and posting this file.

downloading now, props to everyone

Got it installed yesterday. thanks for everything.

I just installed this and its working great.. thanks everyone...

I successfull installed "SD1" but I'm having trouble installing "SD2". Its not recognized by my system. I tried two different SD cards (even re-using the first SD1 card).

Does anyone know what could be going on?

EDIT:

Nevermind, I found my answer. The "SD2" card has the Bluetooth update and needs to be done thru the Bluetooth settings. (DUH!!!)

Anyone else get any errors when trying to extract the files to the sd card? I don't get any errors when i extract it to my hard drive but get errors on everything when I try and put it all on the sd card. I just purchased the sd card so i doubt its bad but it could be I guess. Errors are mainly 0x80004005 unspecified error.

Thanks
