Hi All,

i received a notification from Pioneer about iPhone 5 update availability (i've an european AVH-8400BT).

As i've got an iPhone 5, i downloaded the ZIP and followed the instructions.

Step 1: BT Firmware -> OK!

Step 2: First file -> OK!

Step 3: Second file...

I put the USB flash drive in, demo appeared, so i pressed menu button. The demo crashed. I had the part about the "MIXTRAX" feature freezed on the screen. I pressed the RESET button on the unit and... booom!

The unit doesn't power up anymore.

Black screen. Completely dead. Nothing!

I checked the fuses and they're ok.

I tried to disconnect the unit and then reconnect it. Nothing.

It's dead.

I'll take it to a repair center tomorrow, but i want to ask you: did you have success updating your 8400bt firmware? Do you know if there's a way to power up the unit and fix this issue?

Did you solve it? Mine was killed today.

Wish I could help you buddy, my firmware update went good and no problems. It is very sensitive process.

Did you get any solution? I have a problem like yours

Hello,

I have the same issue now.

Cannot power on after firmware upgrade.

I also have not been able to find anyone in Australia that can repair it.
