So the firmware has or hasn't been released? I can't find it on their website. Looking for my X3500BHS and iPhone 5. I already have their interface module and the Apple VGA adapter. Any help?

EDIT:

Just found this on their Facebook posted May 16th

 

Many of you are anxiously awaiting the firmware update for several of our AVH in-dash DVD receivers that will enable enhanced iPhone 5 compatibility with AppRadio Mode. As you are aware, it has taken us longer than we originally expected, but we are doing our best to expedite this firmware update. We want to assure you that we are not taking this lightly and are listening to each and every one of your comments and concerns. If you own one of these units and wish to receive information specific to this firmware and possibly be contacted directly by a Pioneer representative, we encourage you to sign up on the Customer Service tab above.

I got this update last night!

"Thank you again your continued patience and for signing up on the "AVH DVD
Feedback" tab of our Facebook page.

The firmware update has led to an unforeseen communication error with the
Pandora internet radio app and as a result, audio playback and display of
metadata are disrupted. Next week we will be providing the firmware update
to enable iPhone 5 compatibility with AppRadio Mode on these AVH models
(AVH-X7500BT, AVH-X5500BHS, AVH-X4500BT, AVH-X3500BHS, AVH-X2500BT,
AVH-P8400BH), however the issues with operation of Pandora will not yet be
resolved. We will provide more information next week about further plans
for resolving this issue.

We are continuing to listen and look forward to providing you with more
details.


Thanks again,

There is a new cydia app called background manager, works like backgrounder. Maybe you can enhance the appradio extensions using this tweak by bigboss. Thanks

It's not needed any longer. AppEx works without it. But I'm sure if its beneficial, Mike will utilize it in a future update.

I have the firmware if anyone wants it....... just email me

Has the firmware been updated for the AVH-X5500BHS?

 

I just want music output and control for my iPhone 5 and don't care too much about App Mode.

I have the firmware for Iphone 5....

The updates are LIVE! Here is the info: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/UnAssigned-Content/Firmware+Updates/AVH+Firmware+Update?utm_source=eMail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=05-2013_Car-AVHUpdate%20(1)&utm_content=car

Just updated my AVH-P8400BH with no issues, pain in the ass to pull the unit out to access the USB port but other than that all is well... I even ran a USB extension cable to my glove box for future updates.

with the exception of the pandora option, yes everything works fine.... you can still use pandora over bluetooth audio however, just not with the snazzy interface until they release another update

• CWW6774_Ver9801.YUK ((SYS) System Update, Part 1)
• CWW6778_V825.HAT ((R2R) System Update)
• CWW6774_Ver824.YUK ((SYS) System Update, Part 2)

I called Crutchfield, where I purchased all the above, and they did all they could do but ultimately said they thought another update for bletooth/firmware would be needed that has not been released. If you read all that, Thanks, I am grasping at straws and over $1,000 for bluetooth audio. Any help appreciated.

 

Do you have Advance App control?? You would be the first I have heard. I bought my AVH-P8400BH last may and it worked quirky with an iPhone 4. I waited until the CD-IV202AV was release before I purchased an iPhone 5 along with an extra lightning plug and the vga adapter. Successfully updated the bluetooth to HW05-SW01.27.20, then waited for and updated bluetooth to HW05-Sw01.30.10 successfully. I successfully updated with USB all firmware:

• CWW6774_Ver9801.YUK ((SYS) System Update, Part 1)
• CWW6778_V825.HAT ((R2R) System Update)
• CWW6774_Ver824.YUK ((SYS) System Update, Part 2)

and no Advance App, only blackscreen. I called pioneer and they said to go within settings and under VGA choose the iPhone 5, but it tells me that I have the CD-IU201S used for the iPhone 4 is connected. The option to change this setting is greyed out and that is where I find myself. Pioneer support rushed me to warranty answering no questions. Warrenty gave me a case number and said they'd call me back with what I should do. That was last week.

yea works fine, i wish the bluetooth support was better because it forces you to maintain a bluetooth connection to the iphone 5 and I just leave mine in my car and dont use it as a phone so its annoying when I try to have two phones connected because it is quirky as sh*t but other than that yes it works fine... i chose VGA in the settings menu for the iphone cable type and no issues.

Also get your cable for free:  http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/ephox/StaticFiles/PUSA/Files/Car-PDFs/CD-IV202AV%20Rebate%20Form_May2013.pdf

Pioneer is giving $100 rebate because they messed up royally with getting this update out in March, took them long enough and there is still bugs.

Hey guys! Really new to the site here but after reading about your frustrations I was able to figure out how to connect my iPhone 5 to my AVH-P8400BH using the CD-IV202AV connection kit. Just like Wanahike, I too had the CD-IU201S when I went to my RGB input. I simply switched that to iPhone (VGA adapter) and BOOM I was able to use advanced App Mode by simply pushing the Mode button on the front of my head unit. Hope this helps!

I updated my unit for the iphone 5 and plugged in the needed cables. Advanced App mode works. The only thing not working is the USB1 port. I cannot select that when my phone is plugged in. How do I get that enabled?

Send it out for repair.

who do i send it to for repair would i have to pay even thoe its under warranty

Send it to Pioneer. If its under warranty and you can prove it you shouldn't have to pay. But you would have had to purchase it through an authorized dealer for it to be under warranty.

WOULD THE WARRANTY COVER THE UPDATES TOO REASON MY RADIO DIED BECAUSE I MESSED UP ON THE UPDATE AND I HIT RESET NEVER CAME BACK ON

It should.

I am in need of the correct firmware file for my AVH-p8400BH. Pioneer reomved the correct one. I installed the sys update for a 8400BT instead and now my backup camera and Radio Tuner doesn't work.  PLease Help!!!!
