As mentioned in previous threads, the update is in. But who honestly is going to pay $120 for the update? I think I might if it was cheaper..

It's going to get leaked eventually and that's when we will be able to get it

Iono I might get it.Hopefully it'll fix my unit.

And what fix would that be?

Well the unit is kinda fubared, I suspect a corrupted nand. I am missing maps for a few states (my state being one of them). I've tried to reinstall the maps via hackmode but the folder is corrupt and can't delete or modify content :'(.

I hope when installing the new maps that it might format/erase the nand and install the needed maps correctly. If it doesn't work, meh... I have another 930 that I am using

VBLUE42;

Do you think that this update for 930 is worth the money.

Personally I don't fell that any of the navis released by Pioneer in this series released in the last three years are worth the money. I have been very vocal on this forum about these units being the worst navis on the market and that comes from owning all of them sense 2006. That being said, If this upgrade completely trashed the current garbage navi software for something different I would say absolutely it is worth it. Unfortunately they didn't change the software when they changed the map vendor so my opinion is that it isn't worth 120 bucks to simply add a different map vendor and still offer the poor excuse for navi software. Now, the other additions you get on the head unit side may be worth it to a lot of you. For those of you that don't know, upgrading will give you all the features of a 940.

IIRC the only major difference is that the 940s have appmode and newer maps.

So does the upgrade.

Thanks VBLUE42. Just wanted to be sure..

Hi guys, where can I find this new update? I tried the pioneer website with no luck! thanks!

never mind guys! I found it here in this furum the link is: http://www.navigation.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/Navteq-NavteqNorthAmerica-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewStandardCatalog-Browse?CatalogCategoryID=BBIKCghBaMsAAAE5kJlgJAUD&ShowAllProducts=YES

I have an X920BT and have been waiting for 2012 maps (want to change to Navteq). I also want the bluetooth update that was included in the 2011 update on the Pioneer site (not sure if it will help...bluetooth connection to my iPhone is buggy to say the least). I went to the link listed above and it seems like a map update only. Will it work on the 920? Should I wait for Pioneer to list this on their site, will they bundle it with the same (or newer) bluetooth update? Thoughts? Thx. Rick

^^^^^ I have a 920 as well. I confirmed it does work.

Is there anywhere to download the Bluetooth update by itself? It seems ridiculous to have to buy a map update just to get a hardware update that should be provided for free!

Hmmm. Somehow I thought that the Bluetooth update was different than that system update. I am running v2.003 and my bluetooth connection stinks ever since I upgraded my iPhone to IOS5. In this link for the map update, it lists a Bluetooth firmware update. Is that the same as the system update noted above?

So, i have a Samsung S3 and i am wondering of someone could start a list of compatible apps for the firmware upgrade. I just wonder if google maps would work for navigation. That would kick ass.

My current versions:

Platform Version - 2.000

Application Version - 2.003

Bluetooth Firmware Version - 3.11

Are these the latest?

Why is no one answering my question. My hand was up.

if you upgrade the 930bt you will have a 940bt and here are all the apps for it. i'm still trying to get my galaxy s2 to work with it???

click on the APPS button on the left side of the page

I was wondering if anyone has upgraded. If they did, does the Android phone work as seamlessly with pandora, and the music interface as the iPhone?

I was wondering the same. I am also curious to make sure that the upgrade is for the x930BT. The instruction manual on the page, http://www.navigation.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/Navteq-NavteqNorthAmerica-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewStandardCatalog-Browse?CatalogCategoryID=BBIKCghBaMsAAAE5kJlgJAUD&ShowAllProducts=YES

Only references F-Series.

One more question. Does anyone know what firmware number is included with the $120 update? It looks like 3.001 is available for free on the Pioneer website. Is this all that is needed to make it like the X940... besides the maps?

I got the update and it worked well. As for those who hope for it to be leaked, I would not hold my breath. The code unlock feature that requires you to go to pioneer's website for an unlock code that involves you typing in the product number nd your radio identification number to generate an unlock code seems pretty sophisticated.
