AVH Firmware Update

Thank you for being a Pioneer customer and for your continued support. Our goal is always to deliver the best in-vehicle user experience and we apologize for the delay in releasing the firmware update for enhanced iPhone® 5 compatibility to enable AppRadio® Mode (see chart below). Currently, the firmware update has led to an unforeseen communication error with the Pandora® app and as a result, audio playback and display of metadata are disrupted.

Today we are announcing that the firmware update (see chart below) is available for download here, however, the issues with operation of Pandora are not yet resolved. If you use Pandora and don’t intend to use AppRadio Mode at this time, please do not install this update. Pioneer is working on an update to allow for both Pandora and AppRadio Mode and we will inform you once the future firmware update is available.

In the meantime, in appreciation of your patience, we would like to offer you a $100 rebate on your purchase of the Pioneer iPhone 5 Connectivity Kit (CD-IV202AV) for purchases through June 30, 2013 (terms and conditions apply). To claim your mail-in rebate, you will need to complete the form and follow the instructions here.

We value you as a Pioneer customer and we will continue to provide updates as they become available.
