Okay everything went great successfully updated on my x930bt thanks to everyone that made this possible. Only thing that I cant figure out is how to get pandora and aha to work for my android is there only a list of compatible phones?
Never mind lol I found the problem. I wasn't able to start up the pandora or aha apps to work on the unit but I had my settings as wired but now switched to bluetooth.
I updateed my radio and went through all the steps for my z110. Everything went great and it said update complete but when it boots up it still says 2009 maps at the botttom?
Where do you see the map version? I've never seen it displayed.I updateed my radio and went through all the steps for my z110. Everything went great and it said update complete but when it boots up it still says 2009 maps at the botttom?

Just tried the supereasymethod on my Z130 but it gets to about 22% and tells me that I have the wrong SD card and to insert the correct one. Used 7-zip to unzip the files....would it be better to use WinZip instead?

On the splash screen? Thats just a BMP or JPEG file. I use a custom one.

yes, how can I tell what maps I have?

a few things to try:
1. reformat sd card FAT32, recopy update, try again
2. try a different sd card (but follow #1)

I had reformatted the card prior to putting the files on it. I can't get the card out of the head unit since it won't respond to any buttons. Will have to take the bezel off and see if I can manage to squeeze it out that way.
i think you can hold down the eject button for 3 secs?
Alternatively,
you can put the super testmode.key on a usb, put that in, and it should boot to testmode. go into file maintenance, and remove the file:
USER\SYSTEM\Download\StartKnd.log - this will kick the unit out of upgrade mode, and should restart into regular mode on next power up

I will give those a try. Thank you.

On my Default Splash screen [settings/System Settings/Splash -> Default] it says:
C 2012 Pioneer Corportation. All Rights Reserved
C NAVTEQ. All Rights Reserved
AFA seeing proof of the map date, I guess you'll have to trust NAVTEQ. BTW, If you are running 4.00x software, you have the latest maps (2011).
it is possible to see the maps/pois version. but you will need to enable debug menu (see my thread), then go into service info, and hold top left corner. you will get a more detailed view of all the versions of just about everything - including navi part codes, dates, optional poi versions, etc etc etc
It should be dated 11/11/....... which is Q4-2011 NT maps aka 2012 maps 
regardless, if update went correctly, you should have a 2012 splash screen. If you still have an old splash after updating, i suspect the update did not go through
Those of you after the EU update, check this thread out.

Can someone share a backup from NDATA\NDATA\Sound and TTSData folders from X940 or Z140 (US/CAN) divice with 4.00 or 4.01 software please! It can be even backup from X920 X930 or Z120 Z130 updated to 40-th series. I need to restore language folders after Australian update. %))

Held down the eject button and it worked. Thanks pionara!
Worked like greased lightning. Z130bt ver 3.0000
I followed post 205. My DashCommand works much better with the new AppRadio funtionality. The buttons that used to only work on the iPhone itself now are useable on the head display!!
Happy!
Tried this on my 920BT and it worked great. Followed the updated instructions on the first page, and 30 min later i had the new maps and firmware. Also I updated from the stock 920 maps and firmware. Thanks to all the people on this forum that made it happen.

Did this on my Z130BT this morning. Flawless install.
Looking at doing the caution nag screen bypass over the weekend.
I have looked and looked and can not find where people are change the appmode from wired to BT, any help?
This what the files look like.
Should I put the content of SD1 on the root of the SD card? Or both SD1 and SD2 at the root?
Thanks!
Edit:
I'm an idiot. I was using the wrong file.
I'm doing the mod shortly. Can I use a 1GB card for card 1?
no, you need one 4gb card only.
anttid, are you in New Jersey?
Thanks for the great post. I just upgraded my x920BT from the original software shipped with the radio using the super easy method at the beginning of this post. The upgrade worked flawlessly. After installing though I went to install the pioneer app on my phone only to find out the app doesn't work on the Samsung Galaxy S3 yet. So I haven't been able to test that but everything else is working great!
