I've recently purchased a Pioneer AVIC-F940BT and on the pioneer website there are several updates available.

 

However, on my unit i only was able to start the install of the FM reception update. Which i didn't need to go through with because my system already had the latest fm software

 

However, there is also an update for the firmware, which on my unit is 4.0, to version 4.01. But i can not get this update to start, does anybody else have/had this problem or know a solution? I'm following the directions from pioneer to the letter but still i can't get the update to start.

I have the exact same setup and problem. Got the firmware from Pioneers web page and used the same MicroSD Card which worked just fine with the "RadioUpdate".
I'm suspecting that the issue is that the firmware update file doesn't have any "TESTMODE.KEY" in the root of the SD Card, but I dont think any will do.

Hoping someone has a solution or could tell us which TESTMODE.KEY to use.

 

Thanks
