[BREAKING] First Gen AppRadio Firmware Update Available With iOS 7 Support (EU/UK)


Just when we were starting to think Pioneer Electronics won't add iOS 7 support for first generation AppRadios, they seem to have redeemed themselves (dare I say, yet again!). This morning Pioneer Europe has put out a firmware update for the SPH-DA01 and SPH-DA02.

These updates are available for EUROPEAN AND UNITED KINGDOM USERS ONLY as of now. Hopefully US user support will follow.

If you are in the US, DO NOT update your AppRadios using these firmware files.

Full details and links are below the page break.

The update adds iOS 7 support for both, SPH-DA01 and SPH-DA02 models.

Updates are to be performed as before. There are two files which need to be copied on to microSD cards and installed consecutively. The Instruction PDFs have full details and step-by-step instructions. Follow those instructions carefully.

From Pioneer UK:

SPH-DA01 Firmware Update Version 2.64 released October 23, 2013.
SPH-DA02 Firmware Update Version 4.17 released October 23, 2013.

Instruction PDFs are here: SPH-DA01 & SPH-DA02

Confirm the correct AppRadio model number before updating.

From Pioneer Europe:

SPH-DA01 Firmware Update Version 2.64 released October 23, 2013.
SPH-DA02 Firmware Update Version 4.17 released October 23, 2013.

Instructions PDFs are here: SPH-DA01 & SPH-DA02

Confirm the correct AppRadio model number before updating.

NOTE: European countries that have separate Pioneer Electronics websites (like Russia), should visit their respective first generation AppRadio page for obtaining the firmware update. 

Install only those update files that are relevant to your AppRadio model number and location.

I encourage our readers in Europe to give us some feedback about this update.
