Q: bluetooth music issues after iOS6 update

For me, yes, it fixed the track/artist display with my iPhone 4S.

In fact, all the previous features are back. Previous/Next, Artist/Track display and so on ...

Does it fix fhe problem with track/artist names being streamed to the headset ??? I updated my DEH-8400BT and I can change tracks etc via the head unit but no track or artist data :-(

No. I have the same unit and it does not allow this to happen. If you want metadata information, use USB. As per Pioneer specification page:

http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/25/121/61/DEH-8400BT/specs.html

You are able to use the audio streaming and handsfree telephony at the same time, although audio streaming functionalities have no display capabilities.

Arf, sorry, my unit is a AVH-8400BT and the firmware update also corrected the display issue. It seems that this is not the case for the DEH-8400BT yet :/

Has anyone in North America tried the Pioneer firmware fix?

I would like to know if anyone in America has applied this firmware to the DEH-P9400BH

I just did mine (AVH-P2400BT North America Unit) and it says successful and displays the current firmware. I can stream audio to it just fine and the controls all work like they used to. Metadata does not look to be working though but I can live with that.

EDIT-After a couple power cycles metadata is back and auto play. It works just like it did before IOS6....Thumbs up to Pioneer for dropping this firmware.

I wasnt worried about bricking it as the half *** BT functionality was virtually useless to me anyhow.

Also-My phone would not initially pair, had to "Forget" the existing device and re-pair it.

It doesn't work on USA units

It worked fine on my NA avh-2400bt.

That is what I have.  Firmware HW04-SW01.07.22.  I get an error when I tried it.  The file transfers fine but get an error at the end.

Has anyone tried the AVH-P4400BH? 

They look identical (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/DVD-Receivers/AVH-P4400BH vs http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/25/109/281/AVH-4400BT/page.html) but the internals can be different of course. 

Anyone know if there is a difference in AM/FM frequency bands between Europe and NA? That's the only real reason I can think of to have two different lines of the similar product.

I am getting the exact same thing, running same firmware on the AVH-4400BH

Anyway, the fix is coming.  Spent an hour getting to the right person at Pioneer USA, and she said that the firmware update is coming in the spring.  Exact date unknown, but she said that Pioneer announced it at CES.

try it again, worked fine for me. the instructions tell you about the error at the end of the transfer

Not the connection lost error they talk about, the head unit screen pops up saying error.
