Hi

Does anyone have an Australian F940BT backup they can send me as my system has died after trying to perform the "AVIC-F940BT_FW-Update_v4.600".

When I performed the update I did the following;

Began with - AVICZ110 (folder)and TESTMODE.key
System Comm Write - SD 8.05
System stated - Processed and Completed

Then

System stated - Erasing - Completed cs err

Screen stayed in "test mode" for about 1 hour then shut down by itself.

My system will not reboot and now has a black screen only with no lights to the controls aswell.

I obviously could not update Bluetooth Firmware.

I read the "Pioneer Update procedure for AVIC-F(9)(8)40BT" and watched the "Pioneer AVIC-F40BT & AVIC-F940BT iPhone 5 update for AppRadio Mode compatibility - YouTube" video prior to update.
 

This was an easy process although my F940BT did not like it.

I contacted Pioneer Australia and they told me to take my system to a Service Agent and have them perform a Software Rebuild.

Has any one else had this problem?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hey man. How'd you end up going with this?

Hi. I have the same issue buddy. I have all the files as I backed up my unit before hand. However I cant even get into service/test mode, it's like it has no power to it at all. Did you get the issue resolved? I can send you the files if you still need them
