Hi All!

FW backup instruction for AVIC-RZ09 (and similar devices - AVIC-RL09, AVIC-RW09, AVIC-RZ09, AVIC-RZ07, AVIC-RZ06, AVIC-RL05, AVIC-RZ05, AVIC-RW03, AVIC-RZ03):

1. Get SD card, FAT32-formatted. Probably the USB disk will work too, but I didn't check back up on USB.

2. Make the empty folder named "NAVIVUP" on SD card.

3. Power on the AVIC and place the SD card into AVIC device slot.

4. Go to in the Testmode (press and hold "NAVI" button, press each once right-left-right-left-right-left, release "NAVI" button - device restarted in test mode).

5. On the first screen - select menu "10. Program forced write", go to the next screen of this submenu (2 of 3) and select "3. Take out program".

6. Select destination "SD" or "USB" and press "MENU" for start downloading.

7. Wait for about minute while FW downloaded to SD/USD disk - with full-screen messages "!!NOW COPYING!!", while "HIT ANY KEY" message didn't appear.

Profit) You can see the full-FW files on your SD/USB disk in the NAVIVUP folder.

P.S.: Sorry guys but I cannot upload the screen-shots here, I see just "There was a problem uploading the file." message displayed.

Hi Alex

The instruction is excellent, everything worked out.
Made a copy (Just in case)
Thanks again!

Hi DriveNSK,

You are welcome)

Can you share your FW with me (upload it to Google Drive for example)? I try to find tips and tricks of new WM-based AVICs firmwares.

Thanx!

I've downloaded it, thanks!

It's funny)) Folder inside of the "NAVIVUP" named as "AVICRZ09" on your RZ77 device ;) 

Pioneer's engineers place same compiled Testmode.EXE on all devices and don't mind it))

Hi everyone.

I haven't yet got any hint for solving the above problem posted on page 47. Any assistance from this forum is welcome.

I jump boosted a battery to start my car  The AVIC MRZ09 shows the characters in Japanese shown below, translated  ''there is no program'' with number 7 at the bottom right of screen. The USER/DIŔ shows no content  Any help to revive this unit? I have original USER content backup and the English one from your previous posts. . I tried copying and  pasting the backups to the USER folder but nothing happens or shows up.  The Unit copies and pastes to any other media like FLASH DISC OR SD but does not paste in USER folder.. Any help  to revive it.? 

20190418_145120.jpgHi all of you.

Todate I haven't got any solution to the above quoted case. Is there any one who had had a similar case and solved it?. I will appreciate if a solution is posted in this forum. I am sure I am not alone with this challenge. I guess it is not a hardware case but a software issue. Because the unit plays DVD audios but the screen remains as shown in the image above. I need your help please.

I tried to google, but no results. It seems that this is only with you.
It seems to me that your problem will be fixed only in the manufacturer’s service. But it is not exactly)

P.S.

Did you take TESTMODE.KEY from this forum or did you have it on the SD card from the kit?

Many thanks for your concern.

I did enter TESTMODE by using switches. Got to File Maintenance, then to USER folder DIR where I found it empty. I got stuck there as I could not paste any file therein. I bought a used  Nissan X-Trail from Japan which came with AVIC MRZ09 stereo but no SD card for it.

Thanks DZO. great work.

Can you please confirm that auto script that you have created for AVIC-MRZ02 will also work for AVIC-MRZ04?

Further to that i believe my AVIC MRZ04 has an additional function of bluetooth which is not there in standard AVIC-MRZ04 so i just need to know whether this functionality will go away with new englist menu? or is it safe to use the script that u have created for MRZ02.

Looking forward to your usual and great help.

same questions to Javed too. if he can help.

DZO - you are amazing! - thanks to you my C9P6 (AVIC 0457zm)  is now in English. 

I have another question, that I'm hoping someone can help me with.  I got the stereo from a friend (was factory fitted to his Mazda Atenza) and it works great (better now in english) apart from the Bluetooth function which seems flaky. 

I can pair my phone ok but when I try to connect when I start the car and tuen on the radio, most of the time I can't get it connected and just get the message "you cannot currently connect" 
image here (sorry wouldn't upload) https://share.icloud.com/photos/0aYp9_Z7hmAlt84ac_dyVnYmA

Everything in the bluetooth settings menu is also greyed out (https://share.icloud.com/photos/03OP5LrK5U8a14qBIJge6gXIg)

And connection state shows "bluetooth: No" 

It does seem that it connects quite quickly when I'have the radio out of the car on my bench - if I park up and sit and fiddle with it for some time it also connects (though it takes longer) - it will just about never connect at all if I start driving. 

Importantly, I do not have a GPS antenna connected, and I don't have a vehicle speed pulse connected (not one easily available on my car). I do have the parking brake signal grounded (actually it's on a switch so I can manually select). 

Given that it won't connect at all when I'm driving, I'm guessing there must be an accelerometer in the unit preventing me from connecting (though why it would do that I don't understand).  I note that when I'm driving the connection state display often says "mounting position: No (vibrati"  (...ion?)  https://share.icloud.com/photos/09w1kqgKBsAqy4VC_9Yqsr1EQ.  I can only it thinks i'm driving and is disallowing BT connection - and I'm wondering if there is too much vibration even when the car's idling which is stopping it connecting when I first get in the car.  This all seems very strange because i wouldn't expect it to not connect to an existing paired signal even if I was driving 

Now this unit is in english, and when the bluetooth actually works, this unit is perfect for my needs - can anyone help me work out  how to get this working I would be super grateful. 

A  couple of other minor things if anyone can help:

I'd love to set the time - using TestMode I can see the RTC test menu - but unlike the other MRZ units on this thread, there appears to be no ability to set the clock (even with GPS disabled) - I was wondering (DZO maybe you know the answer to this) if I could used a testmode script to set it (I tried TIME 09-30-2019 22:00:00 but it didn't set the clock - only displayed the (wrong) time date) I do have the GPS antenna disabled, and the clock normally shows --:-- - however if i run the testmode RTC closk test, it starts the clock working (from midnight on some date back in 2008).  

Final question - I don't have the iPod/USB cable for this unit - does anyone know the pinout of the connector? (the black on in the middle labeled iPod/USB https://www.dropbox.com/s/efdmvsslhsekmnt/c9p6.jpg?dl=0)

 

 

Posted Oct 01, 2019 · 20:29 UTC#762

...Follow on from above.... yesterday it did connect when I was driving, twice... but not predictably... there seems to be no rhyme or reason for it.

I'm wondering if there's perhaps a seperate internal bluetooth module that's maybe loose?  maybe it's failing to initialise - anyone got any ideas?

THanks again

Hi everyone,

I have partially translated my AVIC-RZ09 to English, but it looks not so good as I wanted because of string length limits of initDB.dat file.

I didn't find any markup records in initDB.dat file.

I try to investigate some other files of the AVIC-RZ09 firmware but no results for now.

Maybe someone knows where are stored the Strings length and field's markup of the AVIC UI?

Here are sources and examples: https://github.com/Shtirlitz/RZ09

Can we change frequency range in avic-mrz05 ? AVIC-MRZ05 have Bluetooth. Anyone please reply me.

Hi Sadhri,

Easiest way to do it, just install FM converter device between AV and antenna.

It moves FQ range and you will be able to tune radio stations in your region.

I have finished the translation of my AVIC-RZ09 to English (with string length limits of initDB.dat file).

I think you cant change the frequency. I am using FM band shifter through which you can listen to stations from 88 to 108 MHz. If you happen to know to shift frequency please let me know.

Добрый день, скажите пожалуйста, магнитола nr-mz20 очень похожа на mrz99 во всех отношениях, но после замены PF110JPJPN, PF90JPJPN никаких изменений не произошло. Подскажите пожалуйста какой программой открыть эти файлы и как перевести на английский

Видимо, тут другой метод перевода (см. как делал Shtirlitz).
Скорее всего (но это не точно) тебе так же нужно будет сделать.

Good afternoon, tell me which program can be translated from Japanese into English. If you can show an example how to do this. File Link
