Thanks, i can try that now. But i have read somewhere that this will update the map, but it will be a problem searching for adresses?

Anyway, its better then looking on a stuck USA map. If anyone have the VERSINFO and CARDINFO for US update, i would love you forever

Sure, the AVIC F9220BT is the same as F920BT but with a different Bazel for Ford:

• Focus

• Galaxy

• S-max

• Mondeo

• Tourneo Connect (2010)

• Transit Connect (2010)

Try to update like the F920BT

Regards

i'm really sorry i;ve scouted the forum as much as i can, but i just cannot find how to to (propperly) back-up my system (F940BT) before i go and try to install the new maps! 

Also do i need the edited cardinfo.cif or not? 

@Nieles

• download the TESTMODE for your device and put to the root of your SD-CARD
• instert SD to your AVIC, Pioneer Service Mode will appear,
• move down and enter FILE MAINTENANCE,
• go to USER, select COPY on the menu,
• move up, and go to SD,
• select PASTE on the menu,
• once it finish - BACKUP IS DONE.
• now hold EJECT button for 5s to get to sd card, take it and connect to pc,
• copy USER directory somewhere safe on your computer and delete it from SD.

Hope this will help you to backup your files.

For the F40BT no need to replace the CARDINFO.CIF but you still need the VERINFO.DAT

Regards

Thanks you very much in advance! 

tnk a lot, i just update my avic-f9220, works fine

Problem 2013 Update bei AVIC-F930BT

Das Update bricht kurz vorm Ende mit der Meldung "falsche SD-Karte" ab.

Versuche mit einer 2. 16GB-Karte, komplette Neuformatierung etc. führen zum gleichen Ergebnis.

Das 2012er Update mit der gleichen Methode und gleichen SD-Karten funktioniert aber problemlos.

Bitte um Hilfe ....

Du brauchst die OPENING.FLG Datei. Bitte die Datei unter UPDATE\USER\SYSTEM\BG kopieren, du kannst eine neue Datei mit 0KB erstellen. (Datei Endung unter Windows einblenden lassen)

Oder einfach aus dem 2012 kopieren. Ich habe das gleiche Problem gehabt und mit dieser Datei ging alles, du kannst auch deine SD-Karte komplett formatieren (Keine schnelle Formatierung)

Gruß

Danke für den Tipp. Konnte ihn allerdings nicht testen.

Habe die Dateien neu heruntergeladen, mit neustem winrar entpackt, auf komplett neu formatierte SD gepackt ... dann lief es plötzlich.

Gruß und Danke

Well i did give this a try today with my F10BT and gues what it worked perfectly

Not sure what i think about the appmode yet when it constantly makes my unit and phone frezze.
Have dashcommand and that works as long i dont touch anything.

Did you update Bluetooth as well? That might be the reason for your audio problem, but that's just a wild guess...

For the App-Mode with the Iphone 5(s) you need the CD-IV202NAVI cable and the Apple Lightning to VGA adapter.

Which update was intalled before? Was your Iphone working?

I have the F20BT and everything is working ok with Iphone 4 and 4s, I have the Adapter Cable, streaming and appmode both working as well.

Please test if you have the right adapter, or just check the connection between Radio and Cable.

Yes, i update de operating system with the maps and the bluetooth.

The phone can connect with the radio by bluetooth but not by cable

You can't use an original apple cable, you need CA-IW.50V without this cable its not possible to hear music.

this is the 30 pin connector, the 5s use the small one but i can't find it in pioneer

i found this one CD-IH20z but is the photo incorrect?

I'll check for you. Please can you tell me where do you live to find the right shop for you?

I found the solution for you. If you have the USB-Cable that came with your radio, just use any HDMI-Cable... You can read here translated with google.

Check this out: http://www.ceoutlook.com/2013/01/14/pioneers-model-by-model-chart-for-iphone-5-compatibility/ I also have a presentation from Pioneer from march this year where they explain in much more detail the different Iphone and android connection options and software requirements for their EU models. However, meanwhile this presentation dissapeared from their server, so it might be that it is already outdated. To me it seems almost as if they silently dropped the planed Iphone 5 App-Mode support for their 2010-2012 EU models, because they don't seem to offer the CD-IV202NAVI cable anymore, but you can still get it from e**y... However, there is no guarantee that the 2013 EU map update supports that cable...

the HDMI connection which is part of the CD-IV202 (without the NAVI appendix!) cable set does not work for the pre 2013 models, because those don't have a HDMI input.

I found the solution for you. If you have the USB-Cable that came with your radio, just use any HDMI-Cable... You can read here translated with google.

thank you but my avic-f930bt does no have a hdmi 

the usb cable of the CD-IV202 is different than the original that came with the radio?

kowe, did you read my post #149? According to the informations Pioneer provided in march you need the CD-IV202NAVI cable not the CD-IV202 for the f930bt. However it is not clear if the required software support for that cable is included in the 2013 map update. To me it seems almost as if Pioneer dropped the planed Iphone 5 AppMode support for the f930bt and f940bt. At least I never heard of anyone who got the Iphone 5 working in AppMode with these avics... I can send you the presentation I am referring to, but you can also find some useful information via the link I provided (x940bt is the same hardware as your f930bt, it is just the US version with newer maps...)
