Hey guys maybe yall could help me out. I need maps for Europe, more specifically germany. Any ideas on how to get maps for countries other than the u.s.

I thought you have a 5000NEX and the map screw up only affect x100NEX series?

 

Anyhow do you know when did they release the Q1 2015 maps? I have until early February to update maps and wondering if there is any hope that they may drop another update in the next six weeks.

2015 Q2 just released today!

Thanks for the update. However it looks like I won't be able to get it for free, as it appears the latest map guarantee only provides the latest map at the time of your first GPS fix. Mine was installed on Jan 1st, at that time only 2015 Q1 maps are available, so that's the only thing I can get. 

Update, I had to reinstall naviextra toolbox to get Q2 to show up and just successfully updated my unit.

How long did it take to upload to the headunit?

This has to hurt, considering you live in Philly, literally right in the backdoor to these affected update areas

I actually moved to Southern California in mid 2015 (donmontalvo.wordpress.com). I corrected my profile.

I'm contemplating getting a Pioneer AVIC-6200NEX, for the HDMI, HD Radio, and Traffic Tuner.

I figure I'll sell the Pioneer AVIC-5000NEX for $300, and I'll save $129.99 on the map upgrade...so I'll only be shelling out $200-300 (assuming PAC RP4-HD11 will work).

Decided after seeing how the other brands don't really offer any compelling reason to switch.

I still think Pioneer has a sucky business model, lazy development, and unfair map update policy.

You mean the 6200?  I love my 6000.  Don't use the HDMI input, but HD radio & traffic tuner work well.  Where in SoCal did you move?  I grew up in the San Fernando Valley.

I have the same problem was.

but we found how to solve it !!!

 

and you have been given this opportunity.

Free map updates !!!

 

 

Oh!... tnx so much... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Oops...yes, 6200...corrected.

LA area.

Well I visited a shop and told the owner the 6200 is out soon. He gave me the 6100 for $700.

I don't mind being one version behind, but being on the first version was annoying.

It was a clean swap from the 5000 > 6100, except I need another face plate since the unit is about 1/4 sunk.

Screen is superb, didn't expect it to be so responsive.

HD Radio is awesome! Traffic, at last! You guys are right, I probably won't use HDMI.

I already got an offer for $350 for the 5000. I'm downloading the firmware update (is at 1.01).

Brandy spanky new, never powered on - so I'll have updated maps in a few (well, only 3Q behind!).

Nice Don. Sounds like you got a good deal on the 6100. Can't argue with your math. I agree HD Radio is cooler than I thought. Being in LA doesn't hurt for digital channel selection either.

Dude that 2015 Q2 map download from Naviextras took 4 hours. You might want to get that rolling. Ha. Only took 8-10 mins to upload to the Head-unit.

Finally got around to initiating the map updates. Its going fairly quickly, but then I have a pretty good connection.

I'm running VMWare Fusion 8 Pro on a MacBook Pro Retina 2015, with a 50M download pipe.

Its pretty simple, grab a USB stick, stick it in the car and run SyncTool (prepares the USB stick in under a minute). Then stick the USB stick in your PC and launch Naviextras Toolbox (free). It'll see the USB stick to verify your device, then you have the option to download updates. Updates are downloaded to the USB stick. When its done, take the USB stick to your car, stick it in and...<fill-in-the-blank-not-there-yet-LOL>.

Sorry to the slow response, I see you already did yours, yeah like you said downloading took pretty long (~1 hour for me) but uploading to the head unit is only 10 minutes.

Download took 25 min and install took 12 min.

Wonder why mine took so long? Maybe because I went from 2013 Q2 to 2105 Q2? There were at least 4 files per State. Oh well. Mine is updated too. Glad it went smoothly for you.

Not sure but here is what my 6100 shows now.

What's the latest firmware version?
