Updated my Z110 version 1.0 to the newer UI using pionara's updated post, took about 30 mins and worked flawlessly. Tempting to swipe it like a smartphone but it's not that responsive, is still way better than the old sub menu style interface. Pando works like a champ. Only prob is now BT only works when unplugging my iPhone 5 from the head. I have yet to update that software though. 

Hello all-  Total noob here..... just came across the forum.  Just curious as to this thread since I have a 130BT and am looking to upgrade the maps.  Aside from new maps, what does this update do?  Thanks for all the info as I read through the threads

Can someone also post a visual comparison of the old and new maps?

Thanks.

Is there a link that does not contain virus infected software. The piratebay link tried to download a fake infected flash player that both adobe and my AV prevented. The other link to an exe contained some kind of virus infected "secure transfer" software. Again my AV stopped it.

Where are you all getting your files from?

After searching around I found a download. But the instructions are far different then the ones in this post. So I don't think it's the right one and definitively not worth bricking my radio.

 

PIONEER 2012 US/CAN UPGRADE

===========================

 

*THIS UPGRADE SHOULD WORK FOR Z110BT,Z120BT,Z130BT,X920,X930

 

 

1) PUT THE FILES INSIDE THE RenewalIFLib-AUTO-REPLACER v1.1 FOLDER INTO THE ROOT 

OF SD CARD AND STICK THAT INTO THE AVIC AND LET IT DO IT'S THING

 

2) AFTER IT'S DONE TAKE THE CARD AND PUT THE 2012 UPGRADE CARD IN (FIRMWARE, UPDATE, AND CARDINFO 

SHOULD BE ON THE ROOT OF THE SD CARD)

 

3) IF THE UPGRADE MENU DOES NOT SHOW UP WHEN YOU INSERT THE CARD, REPLACE THE CARDINFO FILE WITH THE 

ONE PROVIDED

 

4) WHEN IT PROMPS YOU FOR A PASSWORD, TYPE IN : PASSWORDPASSWORD

 

 

THIS UPGRADE WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY SHEKA, PIONARA, AND CONDI FROM THE AVIC411 FORUM.

After searching around I found a download. But the instructions are far different then the ones in this post. So I don't think it's the right one and definitively not worth bricking my radio.

The instructions were written when the was no easy way of going about it.

So, successfully upgraded my Z120BT with this, not sure app radio feature was worth losing my voice active NAV feature though!  Any way to revert back? I haven't checked all the available NAV apps on App Radio yet, if there is one that uses voice commands then that would be cool. 

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?

Same here, really loved the VR NAV feature and didn't want to lose it, but couldn't resist the AppRadio features.  Would be nice to have both!

yes. get previous update, put on sd card with testmode.key (normal one) and select force update platform and navigation. Good luck!

I recent updated my Z120 with the cnsd-310fmuc. The navigation has some glitches and I didn't realize how much I would miss the voice activated navigation.

 

Is there any safe way to revert to an earlier firmware?

Did a bit of digging and found this post.  Knew there was a way back!  Sorry guys, I'd rather have VR in NAV than appradio for the time being.  Would like to just update BT and maps, anyone willing to point us in the right direction?

Thanks all guys who had put their hard work into  making  map and firmware upgrade easy for all the users. I was able to install without any issues, took 30 minutes to upgrade, firmware, maps, and bluetooth. it is amazing , I was able to find the star bucks within 0.3 miles which earlier before upgrade showed 30 miles in a different county . I cant be more than happy, thanks all again!.

So Of Course, all answers are available to those who seek it!  Because of the NAVTEQ maps update, it doesn't support VR control at this time. Hmmm, which means if and when they get there shit together, maybe they'll put out another update which reinstates the VR functions? I'm not holding my breath...

Most common suggestion is to disconnect your NEG lead of the car battery and let it sit for 30 min, complete reset/reboot

 I didn't want to get into Testmode details (because they are covered elseware), but just to be clear and simple:

• Dowload the supertestmode file
• If necessary, extract testmode.key from the compressed archive
• Put testmode.key in the root of your FAT32 formated SD
• Insert SD
• If nothing happens, try cycling your ignition key to reboot the AVIC
• If nothing happens, you are dead - no one here can help you.

Pionara, thanks for this supereasymethod, worked great on my Z120 

I have loaded the new maps 2012 as per fist post, everything loaded fine however once I took it out for a test run I noticed that my deck , z130bt, would map the road correctly but not give voice direction.  instead it told me insufficient data for this area...  I read other having the same issue but no answer to the problem.  If you could help I would be grateful and to make clear I have read all post thus far.  If I missed a solution  your direction would be great. thanks all and great site.  by the way I used the auto method for the update as per this thread.

First, I'd do a factory reset. One way is to disconnect your car battery for 30 seconds. Then next time you boot-up the unit, it will prompt for some things. Make sure the voice/lanuage you select is TTS (like US English Samantha TTS). It is in the Regional Settings.

TX ROMS what's the ' cycling your ignition key to reboot the AVIC'?

It means, turn it OFF and ON. That should re-boot the unit.
