.Supra. Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 I got my head unit about 6 months ago and it’s been pretty good overall but it crashes every so often and car play is not perfect. I figured a firmware update could fix some of my issues. I followed all the directions from Pioneers website but every time I go to update, I get a “Update File Error”. I’ve message pioneer but haven’t gotten much help so I figured I check here to see if anyone has had the same issue or has any tips or tricks they used. I’m currently on 1.06 and the current update available is 8.12 so I’m clearly on a pretty old version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTS909 Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 I had a similar problem with my 80prs. Updated and something went wrong and lost my bluetooth option. From what I remember pioneer had issues with updates.

Ripkon Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 How are you trying to install the update. What format and what file and where are you putting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Supra. Posted July 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Via thumb drive. I’ve tried 3 different thumb drives. All were formatted FAT32 and only contained the update file. Also tried an SD card and got the same error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwking Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 do they have other legacy updates? sometimes you cant update to the newest without one of the updates in between. i'd see if you can find the files for like a 2.0 and 5.0 update, try to apply them in order (oldest to newest) and see if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you turn source off also and have a parking brake wire/bypass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackFactory Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Did you extract the update from the zip file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Supra. Posted July 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Radio was professionally installed by a shop and parking brake was wired correctly. File was extracted from the zip file. Not sure about the legacy updates though. Thought about that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackFactory Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Try an old USB that has a smaller capacity. Like a 2gb or smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do them in order. Also make sure you place the file by itself on the root of the USB. Not in the folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
