*****iGO (Sort Of Easy) Map Updater*****

 

Hi all!

 

With the announcement of the map crack by asd255 http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/81468-the-avic-development-mod/?p=337784 we needed a good way to actually update the maps!

 

With the help of various members (if you want to be named let me know), we have created a script that will install the needed iGO patch and install the maps that you have obtained.   

 

NOTE: This requires use of the perl command line on your computer to generate the required script.

 

 

Steps:

 

1. Download the attached MapPackage.zip

2. Unzip the file into its own folder. (For our purposes we will call it MapPackage)

3. Download the respective iGO Patch for your deck from http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/81468-the-avic-development-mod/?p=337784

4. Extract the contents EXCEPT Copy_Script.sh into your MapPackage Folder.

5. Inside the updates folder in the MapPackage folder place all the map files you would like to add. It should like this (except different iGO patch files):

6. Open a Terminal/CommandPrompt Window

7. Cd to the MapPackage Folder

8. Execute perl MapCreator.pl  This will generate a script that will copy and set the right permissions on the map file you want to update.

9. Copy the contents of the MapPackage Folder to the root of a blank FAT32 USB Drive.

10. Put the usb stick in USB Port 1

11. Boot the deck

12. Navigate and select Write Programs Forcedly

13. Select Copy_Script

14. When it is done, remove the USB Stick and hit the middle center button.

15. Enjoy the new maps!!!

I followed exactly the procedure above to patch my F77DAB and update the latest maps using the goldenapple key (since the testmode_a.key didn't work with firmware 1.10) but it doesn't work. The device boots in the testmode but the content can't be copied. The output.txt file says the following:

/mnt/udisk/script.sh[10]: cat: <stdout>: Read-only file system Unable to chmod /system/lib/libigo_jni.so: Read-only file system

What am i doing wrong? Am i using the wrong testmode key?

And first this you need the patch and the script is only for 1.05

My suggestion is to patch the IGO software first, then update your maps. I also tried this package but didnt get it to work correctly.

use the goldenapple (tech key)

script to copy files (maps) can be found here

I have pioneer nex4201 .  I have been trying to access test mode but it keeps saying the files are unreadable when I plug the usb drive into usb 1.  The firmware version is 1.06.  Is there anything I am doing wrong? Am I missing a step or not building the key right at the website? On my Mac it always says testmode_a key is a keynote file

Dear All,

is there anyone can help me ?

Hello there. I am currently rocking a F70DAB with fairly old maps (2016 or such) and stumpled across your post. Sadly the Patch for the F70 is offline/not working. Is there a way anyone or you can reupload or DM it me?

Its the "x100_1.05_9.18.28.610130.rar" file - cannot find it anywhere sadly.

I got it with asd255.

x100_1.05_9_18_28.610130.rar

I have the 4100NEX. Cant get it to go into test mode. Ive copied the individual files on my flash drive root and waited about 15 min. Ive also tried to use the dropbox files from one of the other threads. I can see the access light blink on my flash drive but its not booting over to testmode. Ive tried a 16GB, 4GB and 1GB drive. All formatted to FAT32. Does anyone else got any advise to send my way. Thanks.

Use this thread. It has worked for most, but not for me. I'm assuming because I upgraded my radio to the latest firmware before this happened to me. I gotten little to no help trying to figure out my issue

I have a nex4100 has anyone found a way to flash a nex4200 firmware yet without any issues

I was wondering if anyone may assist me and if this is not the right place, or not allowed please forgive me and delete this post. I know when I was getting into this and modding my head unit to be able to update my maps and what not, I had found a forum that had collections of different gps maps and what not on it, which I believe I can still get back to. That being said, I remember there being some online live group chat thing that was almost dedicated to the NEX series units, and I do not remember if I found that link through here or through the other forum with the maps on it. I am trying to get back there so I can get more info about maps.

Have not touched my head unit for almost 2 years now and I would really like to update my maps as there have been some significant bridge changes and changes to exits and routes to take in my area over the past few years and at the time when I updated my maps to the most recent at the time, I want to say Q2 or 3 of 2016, they did not have these updates where as I am sure (or hoping) that newer versions would and I am kind of at a loss coming back to this as far as how to actually go about the process. I know using the script gave me a lot of trouble previously and I feel like I ended up manually moving everything over. I ended up trying to back my stuff up properly and use scripts and do a lot of different things and I ran into a lot of trouble last time and in the process lost my history and all of my recent locations, which is not a huge deal but a lot of places I go back and forth to for work fairly frequently were all erased and ended up needing to be re-entered. Really want to try and update my maps to new/current versions without royaly screwing up my headunit and losing anything on it.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to download the script for my Avic F960 DAB from first link, -http://www37.zippyshare.com/v/umaUmJrz/file.html, but I got the script x200, instead of x000. There is something wrong with this link or it's the same archive for both?

thats the wrong one

here is mine with both testkeys

 x000(5000-8000NEX F960BT/DAB F60BT/DAB) FW 1.11/1.13/1.14/1.15 - iGO ver: 9.18.28.610126

Thanks a lot, SpecTrax.

Before I'll destroy my  HU, let's see If get it right, so first I will unlock IGO, using this script and after that I can use manual update script for avic x60, x70 . It's that correct? 

If I will use those patches, I will lose any functionality like carplay or something ?

unlock the igo with this script, then do the manual update for the maps of choice. no functions lost. READ INSTRUCTIONS so you do it correct or you might brick the unit

OK, thanks again

Hello, i have an avic-5201 and it's saying software error... can i install a custom firmware on it?  I need help! going on a 2200 mile road trip on Tues... 

Hey everyone, really sorry in advance if I'm asking a repetitive question. I have a AVIC-8100NEX and I would like to run Android OS on it. I am very comfortable getting my hands dirty and I am tech savy but for some reason I find instructions to accomplish this a bit too hard to understand exactly what's going on. I've done many complex things from setting up a damn AWS server (hate those things), to rooting PS3 and Android devices, and even messing around with a Raspberry Pi. Can anyone push me in the right direction as to how I can run Android OS on my NEX? Thanks in advance.

I learned from a Slack conversation that my Pioneer unit already runs Android, you ADB to access Android OS. Pioneer stripped it down to just radio functionality
for performance reasons and to deter hax0rs. It's very stripped down so no sound in 3rd party apks, no networking, etc. Really no point functionality wise to do this unless if it's just for fun and to kill my curiosity.
