AV source set to NONE. That little tip was the info I needed. Thanks for the video.
Took me a year to figure out til I found this. Issa life saver.
Five Star Car Stereo, you guys are awesome. Not only did you help me pick out my Pioneer AVH-X5800BHS out from all the other double din units out there, but you guys have helped me figure out how to hook up "true" mirror link, enabling me to hook up a XBox 360 and my cell phone to watch Netflix, DirectTV and Hulu but now you taught me to do filmware updates. Keep up the great work and THANK YOU again for all your help and advice.
Thank you, glad we could help. Enjoy
You guys are a GOLD MINE of information. Thank you.
Just updated my FA 88 DAB.
So. Easy after your video. Thanks guys.
Very easy
Note to others... apply parking brake to make the "update firmware" selection available
carphuntingod Your so awesome, I couldn't understand why it wouldn't allow me to select "firmware update" but after applying the parking brake, BINGO!!!! Thanks!
ekim andersom I guess you have to have a kill switch on the bypass to be able to trick it? Because it’s not letting me do it
will update remove the test mode bypass?
Or install the bypass during installation of the unit. Five Car stereo has a video on that too.
This is the ticket to getting it done thank you.
This video was so helpful! I spent multiple times over the last year trying to figure this out... turned out I had an incompatible flash drive (3.0). Picked up a 32GB 2.0 from walmart for $5 and done!
i was able to get all.my settings after update. not sure.if.it have anything to do with the black screen and.inserting your.original usb with saved setting. but all my settings remained.
Thanks guys. The step I was missing was turning off the Source after pressing the AV button. Went from 1.03 to 1.10!
Great info thanks!! Only other thing is that the usb drive has to be formatted to fat32.
Hi guys, is there any possibility to install apple carplay in Pioneer avh-x2700BT ? maybe by loading another firmware ? Thank you for your help !
great video!! a question. this update incluid the codec h264 for videos???
What is frustrating to me is that each time I add new music to the thumb drive, it takes longer and longer (days) for the unit to somehow absorb the directory of music. Normally I can click on the folder icons or use my steering wheel controls to advance through each cd or artist. But when it's presumably "reindexing" the music directory, I can't use those features. So all that's left is to scroll through the list to try to manually locate the new music or to move to the next cd. Otherwise, it just repeats the same set of songs on whatever cd was last selected.
What I'd like to know is if there is a trick to getting it to index faster. I took a four hour drive lately and had added new music before I left home. The directory didn't get indexed until late into the return trip, and coincidentally the yellow folder buttons showed up after I had the Head Unit set for radio for awhile. I was wondering if the unit indexes the thumb drive in the background faster when it's not being read from to play music, or something like that. I'll try doing that next time I add music, but I was hoping for some method to get the folder buttons to appear sooner. I have the optional sirius module, but due mostly to the taxes they charge, I never subscribed to the service. They give you the base price which looked acceptable to me, then they add on the artist's commission or taxes or something and it adds nearly 50% to the total monthly bill. I figured I might as well just buy a new album every month and put it on my thum drive...which is what I'm doing, but you see the problem I'm having now. Please let me know if you have a fix. Thx.
Glad you pointed out the source must be off. It's not in the instructions. Firmware Update would not illuminate. Then I remembered your instructions to shut the source off. Update: Screen went blank/black as expected. Unfortunately it hasn't restarted after a half hour. The buttons do nothing to turn the unit on. Kind of scared to the truck off and restart after disconnecting the battery.
Great info. I have the DEH-S4010BT I downloaded the update like you did and I'm using a PNY 32gb USB and it keeps saying "File Error" on my head unit. Can you help? Thanks 👊😎👍
Hi do i have to unzip the file in my pc or should i plug it in to my headunit without unzipping the file?
Couldnt figure out how to get firmware update to show. Needed to do the source off first. Thanks so much
0:00 wow amazing intro 10/10!
Still helpful in 2021, thanks!!!
dude im here now and my firmware update is "greyed out" it was available yesterday... dafaq??
I just purchased my own. 2 days away. Can’t wait !
Apparently pioneer didn't bother to make the firmware updatable on 3-digit units, (I have AVH-280BT), sucks because with iPod connection, repeat is turned on by default w/apple music app, have to turn off every time I connect. There are other minor glitches, I'm guessing because iOS 10 is newer than the HU. If I had known there would be no updates available, I would have spent the extra dollars to get the 2800 instead.
These companies should be required to state the firmware is not updatable, considering all smart phones get regular software updates which may affect how it works with the unit.
I need the firmware, do you have it?
Hi I want to know if the avh-x490bs have a update thank you for your help
I have the AVH-2300NEX and right out the box I'm having a problem with the deck reading the lighting cable to where my last Pioneer had no issues with reading the lighting cable. One other thing how do I get Carplay to initiate on this model?
I did the update on my mvh 2300nex 2.85 version but what did It do? I was hoping maybe my camera settings would now have the guidance lines available but nothing seems different at all, is it just stability and bug fixes?
Hi!! to do the firmware I have to disconnect the interface too?thank you.
Is there anymore updates for this model avh-x2800bs? Great videos
can i use 8650bt firmware update (carplay) for my 8550bt..?pls advice.. tq
Hello I update my radio avh-x2700bs from 8.30 to 8.50 but now when i start the unit sometime it frezze and them reboot 2 or 3 times before i can use normally, what do you recoment?
On my AVH-1330 NEX the firmware update was greyed out. Parking brake was set and no Bluetooth or other connections. Still greyed out. Below is what worked for me, just in case others have same issue. Got this from another forum: My steps I did: ignition in on position, go to source, select OFF, and Firmware update was no longer grey. Selected the update and it prompted me to insert USB drive. Unzipped the .AVH file to USB root, plugged in and update happened. Was not fast and boot took a moment once complete. Made sure to keep my hands away car power while the update was happening...lol.
Same thing happened to me but I have yet to try again. I either had my car running, or had the key turned to the click before the engine starts. Ebrake was up the whole time. The "Firmware Update" was grayed out.
Worked! Thanks
Merci! J'ai pu enfin mettre à jours mon AVH-X7800BT. :)
WORKED! LEGEND! Pioneer should put this in their instruction guide!!!!
Larry Carr Thank you. This worked for me.
Hello I am having complications updating my nex, is there anywhere I can go in NY to have it updated? Pioneer's new AVIC 8100NEX 7" Navigation capacitive touch screen with Apple Car play and Android Auto
Hello, do you know how many updates the DEH80PRS has since it was made?
Thank you for all your videos...EZ.

When the player is playing music from the USB the disc tray automatically ejects, even if I switch the engine off and on it still remains the same. It fixes when inset a disc and it doesn't happen regularly.

I have a AVH-270BT that does not have a system information tab to select. My intent was to update the firmware, any suggestions on how to do the update?
I've got an AVH-X490BS installed with firmware version 08.01. My unit is just like the AVH-X4800BS that uses the firmware update in this video... Does anyone have performed an update on the 490BS with the one for the 4800BS unit?
Thank you!! in which format can I download mp4 360p 720p it does not recognize why?
hoping this will allow my Galaxy s9 to be recognized by the unit so i can use mirror link and or app radio again

I have a Pioneer AVH-Z5250BT, I have recently updated the firmware to the latest that's currently available. The head unit worked fine without any issues, I also have a backup camera installed to it, after the firmware update my backup camera doesn't work; when I put the car into reverse the head unit see the car is in reverse but only displays a black screen with the wording "the displayed image might appear mirrored", if I the take the car out of reverse then the unit display display normal operations. I did not make any changes to the camera itself and I've setup the camera after the firmware install, sometimes the camera displays an image but then it doesn't work again for a time period of time again...
Is there away to roll back the firmware to an older version that I know worked without issues?
We recently purchased a AVH1440. It is not compatible to a iPhone X. Is there an upgrade or another radio that will work with itl

For me I had it grayed out even tho I had the bybass installed so I had to set the key to the on postion and have system update on favorites then once you plug in the usb wait for about 30 sec and then it let me do the update. The radio was a PIONEER MVH-1400NEX.
I had the same issue with the same stereo. He said to put it on source off. It was available as a choice to click on after i put it on source off.

@fivestarcarstereo. I recently got the AVH 2500 nex and I saw that there was a update so I downloaded the update onto my playlist Drive put it in the car and it says "Error please make sure that file is the only data on your usb but when I plug it back into the computer it has the correct folder on the flash drive then it has a folder for data that keeps popping back up. Could it be because I'm using a scan disk USB? If so what brand USB would I need?

Five star car stereo. I have the avh-x4700bs. Just recently the touch screen is acting crazy. Not opening what I touch.

How do you recover from a failed firmware update on a Pioneer MVh-160 Bt? Now the screen only displays "PIONEER"
Any help for Mac users?
My avh-270bt doesn’t have a “firmware update” link on the pioneer website. What does this mean?
Do you guys think that Pioneer receivers have more functions than Kenwood and JVC? Are there significant changes between these?
Klefky feature wise when comparing similar radios they are almost identical. The operating system is what really sets them apart. That is why we recommend people to go and play with them.
Idk what has happened to my AVH-2440NEX but my entire audio settings menu is greyed out beside the Mute Level. Obviously, I’m not hearing anything through my speakers. Not even the annoying beep. I know I’m overlooking something here because I know me lol. When it comes to computers, much less my trucks audio/DVD system, I am lost. Any help?
Sir please help me with my avh x595bt.. i have an bluetooth issue.. distance is only 1meter
Ditto ayoung2465 update... you guys are awesome. You helped me as well with the selecting at the time AVH-X5700BHS. It has worked great & watched this to learn how to do the Firmware update for version 8.31.
It seems to have processed fine. Everything went the same as your video here. It said it was successful & okay to remove the USB. Which I have done, but it has stayed dark for 2 hrs 45 mins now.
I'm trying to keep my faith that it will complete and come back on. In the mean time I've hooked up the trickle charger to make sure the battery doesn't die.
This upgrade is suppose to include the update for Apple One, so maybe there is just lots of data that needs to be loaded.... I'm doing my best to keep the faith and remain faithful.
I may have to call Pioneer tomorrow if it fails to load. I really don't want to have to use this as a boat anchor.
Thanks for all you instruction videos.
+ I saw a question come up on my iPhone if the DVD/Receiver ever came back on. To my knowledge it still hasn't. I haven't been watching it the whole time. I go out in the garage every so often to check. So far it is still dark. I have left the key on and powered up.
I did add a comment before this, one but I can't seem to find it, so I may have posted my first comment on one of your other videos???
+Rod Bilderback ok so sometimes we run it this problem. We unplug the radio, wait a couple of minutes and re-apply power. The radio take a minute and comes back on. Warning we do this on radios before we install them and we have a stock room with a new one if they go bad. This is your choice and it may kill the radio so do at your own risk. That us know how it goes.
+Five Star Car Stereo Thanks again guys. I let it sit powered up until I called Pioneer today. They mentioned not using Windows 10 but Windows 7 or before Windows OS to download the file. They said Windows 10 can add files as well as some flash drives. They said Kingston seem to be good flash drives for this process.
They told me to turn the car off and back on and it should go back to the previous Firmware when the car was turned back on.
As soon as I arrived home, I turned the car off, started it and the DVD face moved and "WHA-LA" it came alive. It also said the update was successful. I set the language & went to the firmware. To my pleasant surprise it is the 8.31 latest version I was trying to load. All is good. Now I just have to figure out all the new features this version provided. Thanks again for your support.
+Rod Bilderback sweet I'm glad it worked out for you.
