Hi,

 

Sorry a newbie question and hope someone could help.

 

Currently I got a AUS delivered equivalent 5000NEX unit known as F960DAB running FW1.04 since new and I wanted to add the Carplay functionality due to my recent upgrade from a Samsung to a iphone6. For some reasons, all the firmware for this unit has been removed from the official AU website and I am annoyed that I couldn't get it to work without installing the newer FW.

 

Just wondering what are the chances for me to install say the latest 1.1 US firmware and the implication for it? How do I persevere the AUS maps during the upgrade.

Hi. Do full backup of your device. Then you can try to install firmware for another regions.

 

At least 5000NEX firmware is working in F960BT and 8100NEX firmware is working in F70DAB.

 

You can also backup only maps (iGo software) folder using AVICtoUSB script.

Great thanks - very much appreciated.

 

Just one question regarding the DAB - Digital Radio which I believe is the only different with the F960BT and the F960DAB. Could anyone advise is this feature dependable on the right FW? Would I lost that function (disappear) after the upgrade? Just wanted to know what am I signing up for.

 

Thanks!

As far as I know, firmware for F960BT and for F960DAB is the same. So DAB feature is detected "on the fly" by running firmware.

 

European F960DAB firmware is also removed from pioneer site: http://www.pioneer-car.eu/eur/products/avic-f960dab/support

 

But you can download this firmware using direct link: http://www.pioneer-car.eu/eur/sites/pioneer_eu/files/firmware/AVIC-Fx60_AVICSYNC_Update.zip

 

Please make full internal sd card backup before doing anything. Many people have accidentally clicked on Copy Device menu item and bricked their devices.

I just wanted to give everyone an update and confirmed that I did an update from no Carplay FW 1.04 to all the way up to 1.11 without any issues.

 

Using the link below and it works like a charm.  Happy day.

 

Thanks everyone!
