The new 2.5 software just came out, but there is no signs of it here in the US. In fact the US page doesn't even have a firmware update section any longer for the AppRadio. However, there is an English version of the 2.5 software On the European pioneer website.
Can I install the euro firmware on my appradio, and would there be any problems with doing so? If anyone has done this in the past I'd be very interested in the result.
I am in paris, one put i have tested 2.22 US , i have no problem... I dont have see difference
DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE IN THE US! I just did and while (thankfully) the appradio functions fine, Pandora is no longer supported.
The euro version of the software does not have Pandora support because pandora isn't available in europe.
Unless you do not use pandora do not update. You cannot downgrade back. There are a lot of under the hood changes to 2.5. The update process itself takes two microSD cards to do and updates the ECU, MPU, Bluetooth, and MCU. I doubt these settings will be compatible with older versions of the software.
Hopefully, if I'm lucky, the US version of 2.5 will arrive and I can re-update my device and regain my pandora functionality. Considering that was the App I used more than all the others combined, I am not in a happy place at the moment.
Just take your unit back to where you bought it and have it exchanged. Dont tell them what you did. Just tell them Pandora no longer works.
I'm ok for now. Thankfully pandora doesn't go into app mode when you open it, so I at least still have access to it. It's just depressing seeing the appradio not doing anything with that display.
Yeah, it didn't fix it.
It's weird too because I checked the file sizes and all the pieces of the new update are the same between europe and the US, except for the CE66 folder, which I reinstalled the US version. Yet, my pandora is still DOA.
Update: Crutchfield is awesome. They are just sending me another AppRadio to swap for the one I have now. I don't know if I'll touch the 2.5 update again. I'm honestly scared of it. Have other people updated and retained their pandora fine?
DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE IN THE US!
Yup. Second that. I put the UK version and pandora is dead. I did get the "safe mode" toggle in the settings though. and brake bypass seems to be working.
