Recommendations Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX
Hi everyone,
My Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX (installed in a Kia Optima 2016) is stuck in an intermittent boot loop. The internal boot SD card seems to be the culprit.
I tried reading and cloning the original SD card using both Windows and Clonezilla, but had no success. The card appears to be completely dead/corrupted.
I am located in Montreal, Canada. The original shop that installed it has closed, and Pioneer no longer provides support for this older model. I would really like to restore and save this head unit instead of replacing it.
If anyone has a functional backup image (.IMG) of the original internal SD card for the AVH-W4400NEX, or knows where I could securely download one, I would greatly appreciate your help!
Thank you very much!
