Free Update Available to AVIC-S1
Posted by gasusan2005 on 08/10/07 in Pioneer Electronics
Pioneer Electronics (USA) announced a free firmware update for the Mobile Entertainment Division’s AVIC-S1 portable navigation product. This update is in response to customer reports by AVIC-S1 owners of recurring pop-up messages advising them their map data is older than one year and recommending they upgrade to more current map data.
The 2007 Map Data Upgrade will be available for purchase in September 2007.
In the short-term, Pioneer is issuing the free firmware update, which will eliminate the pop-up messaging, with which some AVIC-S1 users have expressed confusion or annoyance. However, the performance of the AVIC-S1 is not otherwise affected by these pop-ups and the 2006 Map Data that came with the AVIC-S1 will continue to operate normally, even if the 2007 Map Data Upgrade is not purchased.
Customers have three options for securing the free firmware update:
- Downloading the free update to a computer from http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/AVIC-S1update/
- Ordering a computer disc containing the free update by calling Pioneer Customer Service toll free at 800-421-1404
- Calling Pioneer Customer Service toll free at 800-421-1404 to arrange for an AVIC-S1 to be mailed to Pioneer for installation of the free update.
