Worked great on my 920.

I just have to redo it because I done goofed and installed Europe maps.

Thanks for this. Work perfect. X920BT here. Love it. Also did the bypass by moving the mute wire one to the left. Works wonder.

Updated my avic z110 (was a z130) to 2012 maps. update went very smooth. 1 question though. when you start the unit (after turning on your vehicle) is the pioneer splash still supposed to say 2009 ?? the last update i did to the unit (the z130 map update) it didnt change but i didnt think nothing of it. now that its up to date as a z140, the splash screen still says 2009.

i have validated that the version platform ver is 4.0, app version is v4.0100 and version is 4.000 bluetooth firmware says v3.24

thanks

Hi I was wondering if this is just the map update or a full system upgrade to the 140bh, and if it is a full system upgrade will it allow app radio to work with android on my 130bt

guys i have 16gb micro sd card i have formated and copy all the files in rood sd car and replace the VERINFO.DAT file and put is to f930bt and i get to 24% 16 min. doom! ERROR can any one show me way todo this update now sistem is not working needs update.

Not sure what you did here. F930 does not use the uscan update. It uses the euro version of this update. Read over the thread and find the procedure to kick the unit out of upgrade mode and try again with proper update. Make sure to redoenload, reunpack, and reformat sd before retry.

thanks for the update on the splash screen

i did notice that when setting a destination for a particular street, it shows all the cities of where that street is located. That is really cool

also it appears the response time has improved after setting a destination. other than that, i have not seen any significant difference with the maps.

i do get people telling me that i sound like i'm underwater when talking through the blue booth (i use an iPhone 5s) maybe on the z150, they'll finally resolve that ..

when using my old HTC evo and evo 3d phones i had the same problem.. i hear the caller just fine but to them i sound awful -

After hours of reading multiple threads I decided to use this method. I downloaded the file, extracted using 7Zip, copied the 2 files then copied everything to my 4GB sd card. I put the sd card in the unit and started the unit, it asked me if I wanted to update tap yes, it rebooted copied and installed the files about 25 minutes, then after it rebooted I went in and upgraded the BT firmware and all done. About 35 mins. I haven't tested it fully yet because it is 1:30am but I wanted to post that it worked great on my X920bt with the 2011 maps hacked.

I just updated my 920 bt. It had been updated to the 2011 files last year. All I did was put the 3 files on the sd card which was formatted first .They were firmware , update,and cardinfo onto the sd card. thern put in machine start up and it went perfect. Just follow the directions. Thx guys for the great work with this software. It could not of been easier.

UPDATE: I have found a super easy method to install. No testmode, no hacked dlls, etc.

1. get the update and put it on an SD card (like below) so that the SD card has Cardinfo.cif, Update, Firmware folders at the top (root) level of the sd card.

2. replace the file on sd card: \Update\VERINFO.DAT with this one:

VERINFO.DAT

3. if you have Z110, Z120, or X920 (not needed for Z130 or X930): Replace the Cardinfo.cif on the SD card with this one that is inside this zip:

cardinfo.dat.zip

4. insert SD card into unit (make sure you have good power to your vehicle - running, battery charger, etc)... it should ask to upgrade and reboot... no password needed. Will take about 30 mins. After it has completed update it will restart and go through initial settings like voice, etc. It should reboot and you should see 2012 splash screen. After the unit reboots, it may ask you if you want to update again but choose NO (provided update went ok and you have 2012 splash screen which means it updated.)

5. update your bluetooth firmware (to 3.24) in the bluetooth settings menu

please report your success on this thread. If you have problems, make sure you note your current model and version.

update: IAmSuperBleeder posted a nice step-by-step with photos: #301

- applies to x930bt, x920, z110, z120, or z130 US/CAN models. This is for CNSD-310FM/UC- UC means US/Can. No EU updates or other regions yet. The procedure should be the same for F10,20,30 and F920, F930 as soon as there is a Euro version available.

For Euro (EU5) update here: http://avic411.com/i...eu-2012-update/

update: torrent of the full update image posted here: #204

after upgrade:

service information screen. hold top left for detailed info:

Platform version: 4.000

Application version: 4.010

Version: 4.000

.....

Bluetooth firmware version: 3.24

if you like the new version/maps, please do yourself a favor and go pay for it.

Note: it is up to you to legally obtain the update files. I have provided an alternate method of installation that does not require a password for those folks with legally obtained software.

update worked greaton my Z100bt thank you!

For some reason i cannot connect my iphone to the pandora via bluetoooth (4gs)

Also does anyone know if this makes the Z110 "sirius XM" ready instead of SAT ready? Or is that a hardware issue?

I want to control my SAT radio through the screen and cant find the old SCC1 and poineer adapter anymore

You need to add either this, http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Accessories/Satellite-and-HD-Radio/GEX-P920XM, or this, http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Accessories/Satellite-and-HD-Radio/CD-SB10 in order to control SAT radio.

Although it isn't clearly stated in the manual that Pandora only works on iPhone via wired USB, it sorta looks that way. See pg 132 "For iPhone Users" and pg 133 "For iPhone Users".

Pandora and Aha over BT requires that the smartphone support Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP). It doesn't appear that the current iOS supports SPP. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

However, there seems to be some "unofficial" way to add that support. http://theiphonewiki.../wiki/Bluetooth But, even if SPP support were added, there's no guarrantee that the Apple Pandora app is written to take advantage of the protocol.

I'm Android, so that's about all I know. Good luck, I say just go with the CD-IU51V (or CD-IU50V?) cable and also enjoy the AVIC's great built-in music/video support for iPods (including VR selection of artist/album/playlist).

I just did this upgrade with my x930bt with no issues what so ever. Next up will be the nag screen removal hack. Thanks for all the work to make this available to everyone on here.

Just upgraded from Z130bt to Z140bt.

 

Took me about an hour to figure out why the upgrade wasn't loading after following the above directions.

 

For some reason the CARDINFO.cif file wasn't compatible with the Z130bt.

 

You need to replace it with the CARDINFO.cif file from

Thank you for that!! I had the same issue on my originally z110bt upped to z130bt. couldnt get it to load after following the directions to the T. Replaced with this CARDINFO and viola it sees the card and its in progress. Thank you, Pionara, and everyone else that contributes here!

Pionara, did you ever get my message about this upgrade? I haven't gotten mine to work in almost 2 months. Any ideas on why it won't work?

No offense but I get tons of PMs from folks who did not really research or read the threads completely, usually asking me about things which have already been covered in the thread. So I delete alot of pm's without response.

Read back through this entire thread, and look at the EU version in the F series hacks/mods.

Basically, you need to kick your unit out of upgrade mode and try again, but with redownloaded, reunzipped/etc, and reformmated sd card.

Several folks have been having problems with corrupt downloads, funky unzipping programs (example: that dont unzip empty folders?!), or bad sd cards.

After update x930bt with euro2012 maps, I have cyclicaly reboot with messages:

Program update started

Program update failed

Restarting

Any of testmodes doesnot working.

Key combinations HOME-left-Rightt.... also don't working.

What can i do? please help.

Thanks for everyone's work on this, I just updated my X930BT using the supereasymethod to Application version 4.01 this morning.

I'm really glad for the extra Android compatibility.

I almost feel sorry for the guy that sold me this 930 cheap so that he could get a 940 because he wanted better Android integration.

Hi All,

I just successfully performed the upgrade on my x930bt and happy with the results. I noticed a big improvement with the Nav POI list. My old firmware couldn't identify even the most popular business in my area. The x940bt software finds it all. Thank you for the update!!

I did have 1 issue along the way and wanted to share my experience to help others:

1. I followed the instruction and started the load. (I used at PC running Windows 7 not a MAC)

2. I saw the "Begin Update" so I pressed Yes. The system rebooted immediately after.

3. The splash screen came up then I got "Incorrect SD card" error message....all day long.

4. I tried reformatting (FAT 32) my SD card and reloading the Update, Firmware and CardInfo file with no help. I was starting to sweat bullets.

5. THE FIX - I downloaded 7-Zip and extracted the 2012 Update.rar file using 7-Zip instead of my Window 7 Extract Express program and placed it back on my SD card. Worked perfect!

I guess not all extraction programs are made the same.

Hope my experience can help someone out someday. Good Luck!

I completely understand that you probably just ignore a lot....which is why I included so much in my message.  I've literally researched every thread I can find on here.  I've downloaded the file from 3 separate sources, switched 3 different SD cards, tried both mac and PC, and can't seem to get it to work.  Each time I've had to manually get it out of upgrade mode.  I've given up at this point because I'm convinced there has to be something wrong with the unit itself.  And the fact that its showing 2012 splash screen is even more screwed up.  Any thoughts from there?

Thanks!

So just to be clear there is no possible way to upgrade just the maps without the firmware?  I love the VR POI and Address.  I use it all the time.  I must just have one of those voices that it recognizes.  I have a Z120bt with the  CNSD-210FM, I got from you amazing guys and or gals.  I would really love the newer maps but not the feature destroying firmware. When I did CNSD-210FM I noticed I upgraded them separately (maps and firmware).  This one seems like its just one fail swoop, slam bam, thank you ma'am, leave $20 on the nightstand, its all done.  I think if I have to choose Ill stick with 2011 Maps, over a half working head unit with slightly better maps.  But if I can have both that would be a great Valentine gift to my lovely Excursion.  What is the verdict?

Hi, sorry for my bad english.....I am Italian...

Questions:

I have an Avic F30-BT, if i use this file, "For Euro (EU5) update here: http://avic411.com/i...eu-2012-update/", after installation, can i select italian language or not?

Again....there are Italian map in this version?

Sorry for my english....Thanks a lot.

Bye
