Pioneer AVIC-F840BT Firmware Update Problem

I have a Pioneer Avic F840BT which is running firmware 4.00.

 

On Pioneer website I have downloaded the 4.01 firmware update.  http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/support/software/AVIC-F840BT/page.html

 

However when I unzip file AVIC-F40BT_Ver4.01.zip I am presented with a folder AVICZ110 which I have copied onto the root on my Micro SD card.

 

The problem is when I insert my Micro SD card into the F840BT unit no update screens pop up and I cannot figure out why.  I have used the card to do a radio update which works fine and add POI files to which also work fine but when I try the firmware update to 4.01 it doesn't work.

 

Any ideas why?

Try to copy the files inside the folder on the root of the SD card, not the "AVICZ110" folder itself.
