do you think its necessary to flash kernals as well or just the main firmware
I used to crossflash cdrw and dvdrw drives back in the day and all you had to do is flash the firmware

When crossflashing Pioneer drives, we provide you with the kernel and firmware. You should use both. Many Pioneer firmware .exe files actually contain both kernels and firmware.

can I extract the firmware from the downloaded exe firmware update file?

Yes, if you're careful you can use something like 7-Zip to extract the firmware, and kernel if present, from a Pioneer flasher (.exe). They are normally in the Updater's BINARY folder. 132 is the firmware and 131 (if present) is the kernel.

Be careful not to extract and flash / crossflash your drive to any Pioneer firmware dated December 2022 or later. Doing so will remove UHD capability from the drive and prevent further crossflashing.
