Before Updating

Check the model number of your system to confirm that you have an AVIC-Z130BT system.

•

See lower left side of the face panel for the model number of your system.

Please do NOT perform any further steps of this firmware update if your model number shows “AVIC-Z1” or

“AVIC-Z2” or “AVIC-Z3” or any other model number (aside from “AVIC-Z130BT”). Otherwise, this firmware

update could cause critical damage to your navigation system.

If you are downloading the firmware update, please proceed to the next step. If you are using a preloaded SD

card, please go directly to Step 3.

Downloading the Firmware Update

Step 1

Download the firmware update by clicking

Firmware/Z130BT_X930BT_FirmwareUpdate_3.001000.exe

. Once you have downloaded the file to your computer,

locate the file on your computer and double click the file to decompress it. If you do not have a decompression utility

installed on your computer, you can download WinZip at

(purchase may be required).

Step 2

Copy the ‘AVICZ110’ folder onto a blank SD card.

While the folder name may be confusing,

‘AVICZ110’

is the

correct file.

Do not rename the folder or alter the content of the files within as this will prevent the AVIC-

Z130BT from properly loading the update.

*Note: Ensure that the AVICZ110 folder is located within the root (top) layer of the SD card. Make sure that the SD

card is at least 256MB or larger.

Check the version number of your current software by completing the following steps:

•

Press the “HOME” key

•

Select the “Settings” tab

•

Select “System Settings”

•

Select “Service Information”

•

Press and hold the upper left corner

of the “Service Information” screen for a few seconds

•

The "Platform Version" number and the "Application Version" number will be displayed --please look at

the "Application Version" number, which is displayed on the second line; and

If the “Application Version” shows

3.001

or higher, then your AVIC-Z130BT is already equipped with the latest

software version and there is no need for this firmware update. If the “Application Version” shows version

3.000

or lower

, please proceed with the update.
