which languages the unit can choose from seems to be hardcoded into the code, tied to the region.

You may have to trick it by renaming language, strings, TTS, VR, etc to one of the existing languages.

I have little problem with radio. After region change hack (i put region code "38") I have limited radio friquency range from 87.9 to 97.8 (?) and step is 0.05Mhz on 4.01 software.

And using same hack I have 87.9-107.9Mhz range with step of 0.2Mhz on 3.01 software (as it should be). What am I doing wrong?

I do not know, but you may try this method:

1. choose language you do not need and it has TTS

2. Put in the Sound and TTSData folder Romanian voice files.

3. Prepare copy of Romanian voice files renamed to chosen language (see step 1.)

4. Replace chosen language files with these renamed ones. So now you have 2 copies of Romanian language in the folder but one renamed.

5. Select chosen language in settings menu.

6. Try it...

I hope you do not need to change LOPEDATA.DAT and PP.DAT files... but may be I am wrong.

Well I tried replacing a language with Romanian by changing all replacement language related files in SOUND, TTSData and TTSData/Transdata with no luck. When selecting the replaceed language it doesn't want to speak a word. I think there might be some other files that need changing.

I just noticed that Pandora is now available in Australia...however it doesn't seem to be enabled on the Australian/EU units. I can see the Aha Radio app but not the Pandora app. Is there anyway to enable this feature on non-US units?

Do I need new cardinfo? May be it should pretend to be 5.0 update?

I've tried to update X940BT with 4.1+map update- it doesn't start update process. Anything I can do to force it to start update?

Ralph,

Warning: this is uncharted territory. You can probably get this to install, but I dont know how it's going to behave reinstalling 4.01 software over the top of an existing 4.0 install. So use at your own risk...

if you are using the 2012 AU update SD, then you will need to edit the CARDINFO.cif to match your hardware model or use the cardinfo.cif from us 2012 update.

To edit, open in text editor, and find the 6 letters either X15AU0 or X15AUD, and then replace the next 6 letters after that with X15UC0.

This will trigger the update to work on US X940BT, and when used in combination with my VERINFO.DAT, it should continuously reattempt upgrade - although you will need to do it only once.

Again, re-applying an update should work - but I have never tested this.

Count me in

Great work guys! I think this may be exactly what i have been looking for. I have an EU F9210BT, which is basically a F920BT for VW cars. It is currently running Stefanski's 2.004 crack on Euro maps. According to Ralpharn's experience, the same process should work as well? I'd like to try this.

I am new to this forum and have been reading posts until my head hurts but haven't found the answer.  I have a map coverage question , does anyone know if the Pioneer product "Australia CNSD310FM 2012" includes New Zealand?  I am guessing it does as New Zealand is always bundled with Australia or Oceania.  I brought my F940BT online from Europe and want to use it in NZ.

...does anyone know if the Pioneer product "Australia CNSD310FM 2012" includes New Zealand?...

unfortunately - NO.

Aaargh

I have been trying to figure out how to load New Zealand Maps, ie not supported by Pioneer, onto my Europe model AVIC-F940BT. I have spent hours on this forum and all the advice I find links to leetlauncher mod which is very old. I really don't have the time to figure this stuff out. Is there someone who wants to make a few bucks that is able to package this mod for me on a zip file with some simple instructions? I am happy to pay for official licensed maps from one of the above. Please message me if you can help.

Cheers

mercman, you just need the official NZ version of this update, use the VERINFO.DAT i supplied for 2012 update, and edit the cardinfo.cif file to make the unit recognize the update.

In order to know what to edit in the cardinfo.cif, you will need to provide the NZ 2012 cardinfo.cif, so I can tell what it's looking for, and then figure out which exact model number you have, and let you know which text to replace to get it working.

Step 1.

Go get the official 2012 NZ update.

Step 2.

open a NEW thread for 2012 NZ (not AU) update

step 3.

post copy of cardinfo.cif from this update, and ask for help applying it to your unit. (need the full model number on your serial sticker - not the serial number - will be F940BT/xxxx)

Or wait small time and use Igo with Pioneerus

Pionara, thanks for your reply.  Do you mean the official NZ 2012 update from Navteq?  Because Pioneer doesn't sell a NZ SD card.

Because Pioneer doesn't sell a NZ SD card.

Than your option is to get Rioneerus and use IGO in it.

OK I get it, I need to use IGO; maybe you could help me out in the new thread i started called  http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/36228-2013-any-country-map-modification/

Cheers!
