OK, the firmwarehq and Pioneer website files appear to be, and behave, identically for me. That is, both unpack and automatically RUN the firmware upgrade to 1.09.
Nevertheless, I have found and patched the unpacked file as you describe. However, as it also automatically RAN the upgrade to 1.09 in the first place, as I mentioned earlier, it's telling me - correctly - that I already HAVE the latest firmware version, and refuses to proceed any further. And, as the Pioneer site tells me I cannot revert to 1.06, does that mean I am now b*ggered for applying the MCSE patched version of 109?
And, assuming I can, how do I apply the patched version? Do I rename A0815001_speedpatched.109 back to A0815001.109 and then run R116D.exe?
