Key Steps for Firmware Update
The firmware update procedure involves several key stages:
- Checking Current Version: Verify if an update is necessary by navigating through the device's settings to display the current firmware version.
- Downloading Files: Obtain the correct firmware update file (e.g., SPH-T20BT_FW_Ver813.ZIP) from the official Pioneer website or designated source.
- Preparing USB Drive: Format a USB storage device (minimum 2GB, FAT32) and copy the extracted firmware file (.scd) to its root directory.
- Performing the Update: Connect the USB drive to the Pioneer unit while the vehicle is stopped and the parking brake is engaged. Follow the on-screen prompts and menu navigation (PSS Settings > System > Initial > Accessory software update) to initiate and complete the update.
Important considerations include ensuring the vehicle is stationary, the parking brake is applied, and the Smart Sync App is up-to-date. The update process may take approximately six minutes, and it is vital not to interrupt the process by turning off the unit or removing the USB drive.
