Did you install 1.09 or 1.10?

1.09 is the new firmware for the 4000 nex and the appradio 4. 1.10 is for the 5000-8000 nex. I have the 4000nex so I installed 1.09. They all came out on the same day. 

Not to be redundant, but I installed 1.09 on my 4000 and upgraded Bluetooth yesterday. I had some issues with the unit recognizing the update (after looking for the update, it would say "NO DEVICE") from my flash drive but it eventually loaded fine after two resets. Seems a bit faster to load but that's probably a placebo effect from reading this thread.

5000 device here. Update went smoothly, took about 10 minutes for the firmware and another 7/8 minutes for the BT update.

Kar: I've never assumed that the BT update will be "automatically" taken care of at the same time the Pioneer update is done. So I just do it manually to make sure. Can't hurt right? Same procedure as the firmware update except you go to the BT page and update from there.

So far I've noticed faster loading times when car is turned on. Also: yes it did reset my GPS settings, no biggies.

 

Music: haven't tried it yet.

 

Went from v1.06 to v1.10 with this update.

OK, so I didn't lose my POIs, that was my biggest concern. Settings are easy to re-setup.

Following the instructions I disconnected USB1 and USB2, then inserted the USB2 (FAT32) thumb drive into USB1.

Update went smoothly, got to 1.10 within 10 minutes.

I let Pioneer know that the "AVIC-7000NEX_UC_FW-Update_v1.10_20150605.zip" updater I downloaded expands to "AVIC5000NEX"...who's watching the kids over there?

How/Why are you upgrading Bluetooth separately? I assumed that following Pioneer's instructions would update the firmware and Bluetooth at the same time (or, perhaps to be more precise, sequentially). Updating my 8000 to 1.10 via an SD card went smoothly, but now I'm concerned I've missed out on a Bluetooth update.

The firmware upgrade takes care of the Bluetooth as well. I tested it and you don't need to upgrade it separately unless the instructions tell you to. By upgrading bluetooth separately all you do is wipe out your bluetooth settings. I assume if they want you to upgrade bluetooth without updating the system you can, but you don't have to.

Can anyone comment on what affect this 1.10 update has on the Maestro/Idatalink performance.  The results of this update will determine whether or not I decide to add the Maestro SW to the AVIC 8000NEX to my 2011 Toyota RAV4.

the 8000 boots much quicker after the fw update

anyone see android auto option in setting?

A Maestro SW shouldn't be affected at all, as it just plugs into the hard-wired remote control jack.

If the firmware affects anything, it'd be Maestro RR issues.

I swapped out my iDatalink Maestro RR for the PAC unit because of the i-MId issue. I'm going to guess this update doesn't fix the i-Mid (but I'll have my fingers crossed that it does). I still have the RR.

What is this i-Mid error?

After doing the update, I discovered the "Fuel" function is greyed out.  That really sucks since that was one of my favorite features.  Did anyone else have this problem?

 no I didnt, but you can be certain that would be mentioned in the fw change log if it had

I have the avic 4000 and with update 1.09 I have noticed a big difference in the performance of Car Play. Before the podcast app and the overcast app for example wouldn't refresh properly on the display avic unit until I opened the app on my phone first. Now it works as expected. I also noticed improvements in the Apple Maps, before the horizon sometimes wouldn't adjust when you were moving and just stay blue. It seems like the directions said it was mostly bug fixes behind the scenes. Now we just need a Waze Car Play app and all would be well in the universe.

Just updated my 6000. Nothing is different, but I haven't played with it yet. It does completely reset your Nav. So any saved locations are completely wiped. Went through the Nav set-up wizard as well. Had to turn off the speed warnings, adjust my voice commands, etc, etc.

I don't think Pioneer really cares, because the same occurred in the original update for the 8100.  In fact, Pioneer mentioned in the install instructions that 8100 users will see a folder named 5000NEX

I'm having trouble upgrading. I have a 16 gb USB thumb drive that is blank and formatted to FAT32. Everyone I plug it in I get the "Make sure the only file on the disk is the update file" warning. I know the only file on here is the 1.10 upgrade. What gives?

Yeah....I think I just screwed up big time. I thought I downloaded the 1.10 update and it was the 1.08. Now it says to contact pioneer or manufacturer. Nothing goes past that splash screen. Am I screwed?

I just got this screen
