I have seen some software that used the file timestamp as a version number. In fact it might of been on some Pioneer upgrades. So it could indeed be an issue - except that nezfotnemom said he used the copied SD to upgrade his other AVIC.

I'm guessing nezfotnemom installed the file before compressing them.  Again, I haven't had a chance to do any analysis of the files but noticed the timestamps changed for the folders when the files were uncompressed.

Awesome, did it actually take 45 mins? Also stupid question but did you just leave the car in accessory mode to update or had it running the whole time?

I think my car shuts off after a while if I leave it in accessory mode.

yes it took 45 minutes I just left my car running to make sure it didn't turn off

Posted Sep 27, 2016 · 14:46 UTC#56

Alright, I'll try that then, thanks

I was moving files last night and got like 10 I/O errors, then my USB ports stopped working.. so when I did this upload/zip I moved it to my laptop and then uploaded..

 

wondering if some files got corrupted on the first go around!

Posted Sep 27, 2016 · 15:39 UTC#58

That would explain why it worked (from the sd card) but not once I uploaded (copied through my borked usb)

Posted Sep 27, 2016 · 15:40 UTC#59

OK, I'll TOFTT, Ive ordered the updated from Navigation.com

 

Quantity  Item  Price   Total Price  1 Pioneer MY13 North America 2016: T1000-24302  $ 120.00   $ 120.00     Local Taxes: $ 0.00   Shipping & Handling: $ 29.95   Total:

$ 149.95

 

So, before I update my 950BH, ill copy the files to somewhere, then update

Hi everyone.. I just joined after searching for a long time on fixes for this 850. Wife and I bought a SUV with a 850 installed. The maps are out of date and the tracking of the GPS are WAY off. I am no computer expert so if someone can help please do so... I see the thread starter has a download for maps but I am not sure how to do this... Thanks.

Step 1: Format an 8gb SD card to FAT32. Google it.

Step 3: Transfer the files you extracted to the SD card.

Step 4: Turn your car on, and insert the SD card into your AVIC head unit.

I've got a feeling there's more to this than you stated. Start a new thread. This isn't the place for this discussion.
