I finally got it. Thanks jigrana, I figured it out. 

does 5.1 definitevely remove Pandora and Aha radio or have any other good features, beside the 'lightning fix'?

 

i dont see anywhere that the 5.1 update should remove any apps?

Will this update work with a x950bh?

Thanks

Will this update work with a x950bh?

Thanks

No the x950bh uses different hardware and software.

for the life of me - I cannot get it to download. I've tried download manager on chrome as well and it still doesn't work. After 40-50 mins of downloading it'll say "Network error"

Any suggestions or could anyone upload this on a mirror site ? dropbox or something else ? Please and thanks 

Just donated for all the work.

I had to download using my phone- I have 6GB data plan so I thought might as well use that. 

Everywhere else I was getting "network error"

Google drive has this prevalent problem. 

Z140bh was updated. Thanks

I was hoping for some sort of UI changes to speed up the system and all but oh well. 

hi guys my Z120 when updating it says incorrect sd card. please insert the correct one. it goes to like about 25% before it say that

thanks again

Just finished it up in mine, thanks!!!!

I cannot for the life of me get this to download onto any of my computers. It takes 2 hours and when It gets to the end it says FAILED??

I had same problem, downloaded to my tablet and it worked first time. 

How big is this file?

I'm over 3.4 GB and counting through Internet Explorer.....

I'm over 3.4 GB and counting through Internet Explorer.....

It's 2.3 GB but for some random reason Google drive messes it up. 

Mine downloaded 100% first and then it went up and beyond 104-105% lol - that's when I realized something was wrong. 

If it doesn't work make sure you try on a different computer. 

I downloaded it on my phone using phone's data plan rather than wifi.

Hi, Thanks for the hardwork!! I always come to this site to check my maps updates annually

 

1 thing I like to suggest is, since the file itself is pretty big, can you add the md5 sum check? So ppl can confirm the download is good.. Thanks again!

 

I just moved to England and I'm interested in upgrading the maps in my stock Z140 to the 2013 Europe maps posted in the F-Series hacks forum.  Can I just drop the EU update files and the CARDINFO.cif file for the Z140BH into the root of an SD card and assume it should work without bricking my unit?  I haven't messed around with testmode so I haven't made a backup and I probably won't do so if there is a relatively low risk of getting bricked.  Any advise is appreciated.

Thanks for this, way able to do the update on my Z110BT with no issues. Quick question, I noticed that now when I put my car in reverse and my camera is triggered that there are now gridlines on my screen. Can this be setup to beep as I get closer to the car behind me? Thanks.

No - that would take additional hardware  (sensors) in addition to software support. These are just visual cues to help you judge distance.

Thanks any idea which sensors are compatible? Do I need to get a new camera?

I guess I wasn't clear. What I'm trying to tell ya is this HU isn't designed to do that - so there are no sensors that are compatible. There may be an separate after-market system with sensors and an alarm that warns when you are too close to an object. I don't know. I'm just answering your original question.

You would need something like this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Farenheit-LP-2CSC-Chrome-License-Plate-Backup-Camera-w-Parking-Sensors-/360896138642?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5407160d92&vxp=mtr

This is exactly what I have connected to my unit.

It is a camera that has the parking sensors built into it. It comes with a seperate module with a speaker that notifies you of your distance and beeps when you are too close.

Can we get rid of these new guide lines? My camera bought from ebay already have it and now it displays 2 set of lines.

On other car which has ccd camera and no lines, I like that they introduced this and it's configurable. Just don't know how to disable them.

This process requires a certain skill set and level of proficiency - I don't have the time to walk you through every keypress. I will help you understand the general process. You're going to have to dig-out the details in existing threads. Beware - there are lots of ways to screw-up. Always avoid doing something you can't undo. Make working backups of any files you need to edit/delete. I make a /BACKUP folder on my SD and move original copies into there (before deleting) just incase I screw something up.

1. Learn how to copy, paste and delete files using Testmode. There is a Youtube vid that covers many of the nuances - but the Testmode user interface is a POS. Be aware that on the video he incorrectly calls it HackMode - don't install hackmode - it's a disaster waiting to happen.   To run Testmode, put the file Testmode.key in the root of an SD and insert it into  the AVIC. You need to select "File Maintenence". It uses hard buttons to scroll, and select various operations. It is very error - prone so be careful.

 

2. Now you need to get a copy of NAVI.exe on your PC. You can get it off the HU (in /USER/PRGn/APL) or from the 5.x files you downloaded to do the upgrade. Just to be safe, copy the file somewhere to edit - best not to touch the original.

 

3. You need a hex editor on your PC. I used (free) HxD. Learn how to use it - practice on something first. Then use it to patch the hex bytes into NAVI.exe as pionara (v5.1) or I (v5.0) describe elsewhere. The offest is the location in the file to begin the patch - replacing the 4 hex numbers already there.

 

4. Copy your patched NAVI.exe to the SD where you have TestMode.key and insert in the HU - should boot you directly into Testmode.

 

5. The HU has two sets of application files in /USER (PRG0 and PRG1). If a file called PRG.FLG is present, you need to delete and replace NAVI.exe in /USER/PRG1/APL. Otherwise use /USER/PRG0/APL.

 

6. Delete NAVI.exe from the directory above. It is best to make a copy of it somewhere on the SD in a different directory than your hacked one.  Note: Testmode will not overwrite a file of the same name.

 

7. Now copy your hacked NAVI.exe to the HU folder from #5 above. It can take a while.

 

8 When finished, eject the SD and reboot the HU.

 

Good luck. Maybe someone with more time will write a full-blown checklist.

 

UPDATE: I just tried applying pionara's 5.1 patch and managed to bork it.  Got stuck in a reboot loop. Good thing I had a backup

thank you so much, I finially figured it out and works smoothly ^^

Ive tried to download this several times and at the last second it always gives me a network error.  Anyone have this issue?

Try using a download manager or downloader extension for your browser.

Anyone have any recommended ones?  I tried the most popular ones on chrome and not working.  

It worked for me, thanks!!!

Has any one noticed any new stuff in this 2013 update?

Finally got it downloaded with firefox.  Going to try this tomorrow on my 2.0 z120
