Pioneer Apple CarPlay Firmware Update Tutorial

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.พ. 2025
- Pioneer Australia has just released an Apple CarPlay firmware update, making us the first after-market brand to introduce Apple CarPlay head-units in Australia. Apple CarPlay provides iPhone® 5 users a smarter, safer and seamless way to use iPhone® in the car; make calls, use Maps, listen to music and access messages with just a word or a touch.
Watch as Paul D'Intino from Pioneer Australia, takes you through a step-by-step guide for performing the CarPlay firmware update on the AVIC-F60DAB/960DAB and AVH-X8650BT.
Hi need help i have PIONEER AVH-Z9150BT i try to update the firmware from ver. 1 to ver. 1.02 but in the middle of firmware running the power of my car is off and now i try to firmware again but come failed please need help..
I got confused with trying to update my American AVIC-6100NEX. If only Pioneer learned the difference between a 'file' and a 'folder', both the instructions on the Pioneer website and in these videos would be much more helpful. I'm an IT professional and could imagine things going wrong for the misinformed.
'The file must be in the root' is confusing when you're dealing with a zip that contains a folder full of files, one would assume that all the files should be in the root.
Donald Black I tried having the root folder, unzipped from what was downloaded, as the folder I pasted onto a SD card. But it still gives me that error. What am I doing wrong?
Why no one said mate in this video

Hi... i had problems on updating.. is already update but still remain in old version.. no any changes..
I have an issue with my da230dab , when I want to update the firmware I found the option with 'update firmware' disabled, why is that??
Exactly my issue! A lot of the options including firmware update are greyed out.
RCT116 YOU must connect the parking wire with the black one, the ground, and the problem must be solved!
@@TheBelu57 yeah I did that and it worked, thank you!
hey guys. myne kept failing to read when i used the usb stick. but i tried it with a SD card and it worked
does it works on AVH-5200BT?? are there any updates for this model??
Like other videos, you failed to indicate which USB port to use - 1 or 2...
1 is for Apple, 2 is for android isnt it, i too wouldn't know which to use.
Pitty we cant just plug the phone in and do it manually through the phone.
@@fkn16v Thanks for the follow up! I got it worked out soon after I left that comment. My phone is an LG v20, and the firmware needs to be updated by lg - then I can go 100% wireless - thanks again!

works good for you. I was installing an update on my 8550bt. power cut out after 20minutes, it rebooted with no settings menus, then wouldn't turn off with the car, I pressed the reset button on the front and the unit died. I can't even turn it on now
Were you able to recover from this?
How do you carry out update on SPH-DA230DAB ? My firmware update wont highlight even with parking brake wire grounded so can update mine
Same problem here.
Did you work it out?
I've been trying today. Lots of talk about bypassing with 3 wires
@@philipwatts9033 i reset the unit via pin hole and kept handbrake cable ground. This let me do the update
@@umranhu
I don't understand how to do that 😕
@@philipwatts9033 little hole in front of unit that put pin into like you do when getting sim out of a phone. This does a reboot. Then make sure the green parking brake wire is touching part of chassis. I phoned pioneer support who suggested it and worked. Im useless tech but managed this. I was frustrated for several weeks. I even attached parking wire to handbrake and still wouldnt work. Just needed the reset through pin hole after all that
@@umranhu
Thank you for taking the time to explain I shall try.
Did the update unlock more features and make it any better ?
I hardly have any apps and ive no idea how you would play a video if you wanted
Why in the screen settings the bluetooth icon it´s dark. what this mean?
You need to attach parking brake wire to ground

i have a avh-x8650bt. where can i download the software of this unit? not firmware. thanks for help...
Hi, my name is Michael and I'm an employee at Pioneer Australia. Best place to find any support for your product is via our website - www.pioneer.com.au. Just click on the support menu via the home page.
this unit has a built-in sd where the OS(operating system) stored. my unit sd is corrupted. do you have the OS for this? hope you can help me. thanks mike..
I wish pioneer had a optional way to download firmware of carplay or android auto to other have units like avh-x4700bs and more units.
Dre Tucker The Pioneer models three years later like the AVIC8400NEX have an SD card port next to the dvd/cd player where one can update firmware - not sure if yours has one too... Take care!
Pioneer avh x 8600 doesnt let me update! Any solution?

Sorry to bother but I have a question it’s a upgrade program for AWH-1440NEX?
Thanks for contacting us. As you have a "NEX" unit I would suggest contacting the team at Pioneer North America for assistance. The firmware used for Pioneer Australia models is different so is not applicable to your model.
Please help with AVH-A215BT firmware

hi there i have a AVH-X5650BT is there software for android auto ?
Can do it in avh 299bt
It seems that Pioneer does not care consumers to the rest the world. No forum has not made a query and no one answers.
Will there be new firmware for AVH-X8650BT fore CarPlay compatibility for the rest of the world or not?
Hi again,
In the countries where Apple CarPlay is available on select Pioneer car units, a firmware update has already been released on the local Pioneer website. We (Pioneer Australia) released the firmware update the same time Pioneer Europe and USA released theirs.
Thank you very much for your reply. I know it's not your fault but as a consumer just looking for an answer to this problem. Thank you very much and Merry Christmas !!!
92803273 completely understand because communication is the key. We would be happy to assist Pioneer customers from around the world, but unfortunately, we can only provide support/firmware for local customers. Have a great Christmas also!
Juan Pablo Rosales, actualicé el firmware hace un mes o quizás un poco más y puedo dar fe empírica que funciona. No tiene ningún inconveniente. Le escribí reiteradamente a Pioneer Australia pero ellos insisten que no es recomendable. Nunca entendieron que el modelo que comercializan para su mercado es exactamente el mismo que para Latinoamérica. (Chile, en mi caso). Ahora hay que esperar que actualicen su versión de 1.06 a 1.08 para resolver por ejemplo, el problema del volumen de Siri. Suena algo bajo y no es posible aumentar su volumen. No es grave en todo caso. Otro punto negativo, no funciona adecuadamente el turn by turn de maps. Muestra las direcciones pero no ejecuta los giros. Como anécdota les puedo decir que cuando estaba instalando el firmware, me di cuenta que la carpeta que contiene la actualización dice avic-5000nex. Equiparan dicho modelo al nuestro?....no lo sé. No me atrevo a actualizar utilizando el fichero americano de ese modelo para obtener la versión 1.08. De todas formas, la versión 1.06 funciona "casi" perfecto. Saludos

Francisco ¿Donde puedo conseguir una copia de este firmware australiano? Este desapareció totalmente del internet y no encuentro ni una sola copia en ninguna página ¿Podrías compartirlo?
+Marco Andrés Rodríguez Galindo hola, revisé el website de Pioneer Australia y, lamentablemente, al parecer desapareció el sitio. Lamento decirte que no hice copia del firmware cuando lo instalé. Nunca imaginé que desaparecería Pioneer Australia. Una pésima noticia. Lo siento por no poder ayudarte. Para los futuros compradores de sistemas, sólo compren productos que estén disponibles en ee.uu. Eso les proporcionará seguridad que dispondrán de los últimos firmwares disponibles. Mi sistema avh-x8650bt funciona muy bien pero, me arrepiento de no haber comprado un producto destinado al mercado americano (como la serie NEX) que disponen de actualizaciones periódicas. La serie AVH-x8650bt no es mala pero como se vende para los mercados europeos y latinoamericano nunca le dieron el soporte necesario. Saludos y suerte en tu búsqueda.
Francisco, muchas gracias por tomarte el trabajo de revisar el tema. Nada que hacer me hubiera gustado instalar esa actualización de firmware, otra vez será. De nuevo muchas gracias.
+Marco Andrés Rodríguez Galindo hola, yo tengo el programa porque por alguna casualidad lo guarde. Yo, al igual que Francisco Javier Guerra, cargue el firmware de australia en mi Pioneer AVH-X8650BT y me funciona igual que a él, es decir, casi todo. Por ejemplo si usas Google Maps para navegar, describe las rutas pero al iniciar una el sistema se cae, es decir, no te guía aun cuando puedes visualizarla en pantalla. Todo lo demás me funciona bastante bien. Si lo estimas conveniente, puedo enviarte ese firmware por mail pero recuerda que es a tu cuenta riesgo, como digo, a mi me funcionó y yo tengo esa radio hace más de un año y lo hice correindo el riesgo de que si no actualizaba, era un pisapapeles por casi 1.000 dólares que es lo que me costo acá en ese momento (en Chile). Espero tu respuesta.
Juan Pablo muchas gracias por tu respuesta, claro que me interesa que me puedas compartir el firmware. Te agradecería enormemente que me pudieras compartir el enlace de descarga, puede ser desde dropbox, box o google drive, ya que por correo debido a su tamaño no creo que pase (entiendo que son como 200 MB). De nuevo muchas gracias.
My Unit "Firmware Update" is just grayed out, any idea how I can work around this?
it's because the installer grounded the parking break detection wire to circumvent the wiring for actual parking break. pioneer now has kind of pulse detection for parking break detection & because parking wire connected to head unit is grounded, device thinks you are still in the move and disables firmware upgrade. there is small chip/electronic part that can mimic parking break on these new pioneer head units (have to buy separately from ebay or amazon). You can (or the installer can) always properly connect parking break detection wire to parking break.
AVICAVH16 is the folder it created for me.
Must i use this or put it into a folder and rename as in the video.
What if my device is stuck on the screen shown at 2:59 and I cannot get to the Firmware update menu?

I using avh-x8750bt can't update, show error version.

Hi 92803273 we can only confirm an update for Aus model

Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD will work with car play?
Hi , if you want to update , use SD card which belong to Pioneer. Because the rest card format is different and pioneer lock them then you cant use...
You can do all step what he says but also check below steps which i tell
1. Try to remove SD card lock unlock several time from side.
2. Connect dvd correctly on top.
if any of hardware disconnected update will fail.
3. Update via usb stick . ( format with fat32. Not quick the one which is 15 min , check box the quick format by click. )
I faced with several type of errors fixed it. My pioneer is AVH 8650BT at last i fixed it and update from 1.09 to 1.20
Hello, is it possible to load this firmware into pioneer avh-x2700 in order to get apple carplay ?
Hi, please do not update this firmware onto the 2700
pioneerelectronicsau why ? What would happen ? Is there any possibility to get Apple CarPlay in Avh-X2700 ? Best regards.

+jshaba sorry by CarPlay and Android Auto are not backwards compatible.
+pioneerelectronicsau Can you get android auto on the appradio live app?
I can safely report that the Australian firmware for avh - x8650bt (dvd region 4), works perfectly with products sold in Latin America market. It's completely safe and works just fine. Regards from Chile

Por favor tienes el link
Hola
, soy de Chile.
sigo tu canal de TH-cam, y me gustaría saber si me puedes ayudar, a continuación te explico el problema....
Tengo una Pioneer AVH-XL5750BT, tengo problemas con el Bluetooth, a veces, y muy pocas veces logra parearse al celular, o que aparezca la opción de parearla, he estado leyendo en google, y el manual de diag de problemas, habla de que el software del BT debiera ser A895, pero mi unidad indica A890, no he encontrado donde bajar la actualización.
bajé un archivo de actualización de firmware del sistema, es el PEH440H.AVH, pero al tratar de actualizar siguiendo todas instrucciones,(las que ya había hecho en una AVH-X2750BT, y todo bien), me dice que no lo puede leer.
lo otro extraño, que a pesar de colocar el pendrive solo con ese archivo, es decir, absolutamente limpio, al sacarlo de la radio y verlo en el PC, ahora aparece con otro archivo, una carpeta de DATA.
de hecho la radio, aún no la instalo, solo la he probado conectada a una fuente de poder de 14.5 VDC estable, asi que ese no es el problema.....
ojalá me puedas ayudar
