Try this. Seems like a common issue with the Z130/x930. http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/81751-avic-z130-2015-update-broke-ipod-wired-connection/&do=findComment&comment=336468

You are a genius man.  Thanks so much!  Works after that.  

k_s2000, did you have the same problem as me with the app connection being set on wired/bluetooth and having them almost appear backwards.

You just removed power for 30 minutes and it fixed it?

Please let me know, I am going to have to try it tonight.

Anyone having trouble make sure there is only one update folder not another one inside of first one. When I figured that out it went smooth on a 8 gig micro card

First, I assume it worked the way you expected (Pandora) before the upgrade. Now - what device are you running Pandora from? I expect it not an iPod (which I'm guessing is wired). If you are, how is it getting broadband internet access while you're driving? Or did you mean iPhone instead of iPod?

The reason I ask is - on an iPhone, Pandora only works with the Settings / AV Settings / App Connection set to "Wired".

Of course, maybe, like me, you use an iPod for stored music and an Android phone for BT internet audio streaming and Pandora. In which case, make sure Settings / AV Settings / App Connection is set to "Bluetooth".

This update was not recognized by my z110 unit.

So I pulled the CARDINFO file from the 2013 map update and replaced the 2015 file.

Inserted SD card, and the update was recognized.

Let it finished, and updated Bluetooth, although the versions were the same.

Afterwards, everything worked except my Bluetooth connection.

My iphone 6 would connect, but I could not stream any audio to the z110.

I had to reinstall the 2013 update.

Maybe this would work??? Seem to be a lot of BT related problems lately. I have a Z110bt and streaming audio with Android is a little flakey - but it works as long as I wait until the phone has connected before selecting a BT source.

Oops wrong forum.

But, no BT issue on my x920bt with same update.

Anyone have a new link? The dropbox is down..

Or just a file name I can google to download?

This seems more complicated than it is because there are two different AVIC series that use this upgrade: Z-series (Z110/120/130/140) and X-series (x920/930/940). Each series has its own forum. Most of us have been reading both forums ( plus the F-series one) since the knowledge needed is spread out and it is a common solution. To complicate it even more, there are two different sets of files for the US/CAN 2015 upgrade. One set only works with the older units (Z110, Z120, x920) and the other works with newer units (z130, z140, x930, x940).

 

With previous upgrades (normally released annually) we only needed one set of files (UPDATE, FIRMWARE directories) and only needed to place on the SD the CardInfo.CIF file for the older or newer units. For some reason that didn't work this year. Many of the UPDATE files differ between the older and newer units. I still don't understand why.

 

Keep in mind that you are reading a thread in the Hacks sub-forum forum which is a work-in-progress - not a how-to procedure. It presumes a certain level of expertise. However it seems that the messy details have finally been sorted-out. We now have a very simple process which only requires a little knowledge on using your computer - basically how to download, extract the compressed files, and copy them onto your installation SD.

 

Unfortunately links to files sometimes get stale. They all do eventually. For the time being, get your files here:

• z110bt, z120bt, x920Bt - older units
• z130bt, z140bh, x930bt, x940bt - newer units

Then extract the files, copy UPDATE, FIRMWARE, and CardInfo.CIF to the root of a freshly formatted FAT32 SD, and insert it into your unit.

Thanks for every ones hard work in this thread. I just tried to Download the files for my z140bh and seems like your link is down. Any one have another link or can upload these files?? Thanks!

didn't see this discussed. Like to ask before bricking.

compatibility with x950bh?

I just clicked that link "newer units" and the file is automatically downloaded. Took about 15 minutes. Are you sure is isn't being downloaded in the background?

Thanks for the reply,last night when I was trying it seems like the link was down cuz I tried again this morning and it downloaded. It was slow as hell but it worked. Flashed it while I was working and can confirm it worked on my Z140BH. Did not have to update the bluetooth as everything still worked fine with my Samsung S5. (i dont have any wired connection). Thanks for the help!!! love this place

Here is the nag screen hack for this release (v6.0)

 

Apply this binary patch to /USER/PRGn*/APL/NAVI.EXE 

 

at offset 0xBEC64  

change 05 00 00 0A   to   00 00 A0 E1

 

*See below for the correct path to the file for your unit.

 

Note: do not install the upgrade with the edited file on the SD. If you do, the installation will fail. After it is successfully installed, you can use a copy of the one on the SD (in UPDATE\USER\PRG\APL) to patch, then use a separate SD with testmode.key and the patched NAVI.EXE on it to update your unit. I recommend not modifying the file on your installation SD.

 

This is dangerous - especially for noobies. Make a backup of any files you change - in fact making a backup of all files under \USER is a good idea.

 

* there are two \USER\PRG directories on your HU. The active one is indicated by the presence or absence of a file named \USER\PRG.FLG

If this file is not present, the active files are in \USER\PRG0\APL. Otherwise, the active files are in \USER\PRG1\APL

Hey RonS, when you mention "at offset 0xBEC64", do you mean a line number?  I have opened Navi.exe on an editor on my computer but I can't even seem to find the line "05 00 00 0A".  I have a Z140BH.  A response would greatly be appreciated.  

EDIT: Nevermind I read another post and found that I had to use a Hex editor!  All your posts are really helpful!

Hello all:

   It worked perfectly well in my old F920Bt with files posted here. Now I have 2015 version.

   The problem is that I live in Spain an now the maps are for California so I have to change my home to USA or recharge old maps.

  Does any one have European maps for FB920BT?

Little update I have Avic -Z140bh and my audio with bluetooth doesn't work. 

Version 3.32 for bluetooth and shows that's the latest version. 

However my calls are crispy clear (thankfully) . I think the issue is with Android since it got updated to 5.0 lollipop and higher- they haven't addressed the issue even in 5.1.1 update. 

+1 on the update (X920BT unit) - it works..  Had a problem with the "INVALID SD CARD" issue though during the update (even though it was formatted FAT32).   I had a 8 GB SDHC card, finally got it working by

Reformatted the card using GUIFORMAT,EXE (using 16384 allocation size) and made sure QUICK FORMAT was disabled (not checked).   I then extracted the files using 7-ZIP to a directory FIRST on my computer (made sure there weren't improper nesting of UPDATE, and FIRMWARE folders).

This resulted in a

/FIRMWARE

/UPDATE 

CARDINFO.cif

I then copied those files to the root of the recently formatted SD card (using WINDOWS).

Worked after that.

I did the update on my X930BT and all went well except that the iPod (160GB) doesn't connect to the head unit. The iPod screen has the Pioneer logo on it and says connected, but the head unit has the spinning arrows. I unplugged the battery twice now for 30 min + each time and still no iPod. Anybody have any other suggestions???

Update to my earlier post: I tried using a standard male to male 3.5 cord and the iPod cord that came with it and it works but the Pioneer iPod cord that I was using and is recommended doesn't. Weird...

Hallo,

ich bitte um Entschuldigung, dass ich nicht im richtigen Forum bin. Aber leider bekomme ich keine Hilfe im F-Forum.

Ich lebe seit gut einem Jahr in Chile und habe mir meinen VW T5 California mit dem AVIC F940BT aus Deutschland mitgenommen.

Da es von Pioneer keine offiziellen Karten von Chile bzw. von Südamerika gibt, habe ich mir die NAVTEQ Südamerika Karte von Garmin gekauft.

Leider komme ich mit der Testmode in mein System, obwohl ich es mit 2, 4, 8 GB micro SD Karten der verschiedenen Hersteller versucht habe.

Dann habe ich mich tagelang mit der Super Testmode hier im Forum befasst und eingelesen und kann jetzt auch ein Backup machen vom USER

oder auch von NDATA, sowie Daten einfügen oder auch löschen.

Meine Frage wäre, kann ich das hier angebotene Update für das System und die Karten X940BT auf mein F940BT machen und ist es möglich

die Südamerika Karte von Garmin (NAVTEQ) mit der Super Testmode auf mein AVIC F940BT zu installieren.

Ich wäre sehr dankbar für Ihre Hilfe (bitte einfach erklären, bin 71 Jahre) und Grüße aus dem fernen Chile

Long read on this one, but looks like a lot of hard work by several...

Unfortunately I just tried the latest link for the Z110 and it appears to be down. Any one able to put back up? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

^{Sorry, can't help!  This has to be the most ass tight sites I have ever been on.  Out of the almost 100 downloads, only a couple thank yous and nothing more.  While I do have several different models and even a X950 model, I will no longer help ingrates!}
