Yes! May someone provide me with the 2013 US maps and how to install them without "formatting" the unit again. I FINALLY have the unit up and running after screwing it up back in December and really don't want to go through the hassle of installing the software again.

Alien69, does this hybrid software already include the bluetooth software?

Having issues with installing the FX3.1 on my 7010 unit and I think I might have bricked it!

My unit had the 2.0008 software and needed an update to get rid of all its slowness and errors. I read, and read the instructions that Retell had at the VERY beginning of this thread until I had them memorized before starting this challenge.

Once I downloaded the files from the torrent link, I noticed some of the folders names he talked about on the instructions didn’t match up with what was in the downloaded files.

For example,

                “testmode folder, DATA file, and the flash dumpâ€

and what I have on this is “my flash disk†and “device.nngâ€. Are any of these the same? What “DATA file†am I looking for, the “device.nngâ€?

Also,

                “copy the contents of the flash dump to the "My Flash Disk" Drive.â€

Again, is “flash dump†and “my flash disk†the same folder that’s on my SD card?

Now,

                “Copy the Data file from the SD card and replace the one in ‘My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo’ (Soft Bypass)â€

Which “DATA file†from the SD card and which “DATA file†am I replacing?

I tried “figuring out†(more like guessing) by just throwing “testmode folder, my flash disk, and device.nng into the “My Flash Disk Drive†and everything copied fine. Then I took the “device.nng†file and threw that into the iGO file and then hit restart.

This is where the small headache started… it went ok, but all it kept saying was "System is starting up" and rebooted after a few minutes. So I start looking through the forum and found someone (dragon something) who didn’t differently and was “somewhat easierâ€.

I re-installed the process, but then I erased the ENTIRE contents of “My Flash Disk Drive†and then copied over the testmode folder, my flash disk, and device.nng and it’s telling me that there isn’t enough space to copy it over. WTF?!?!?! I did it earlier with more stuff on there and now that it’s empty it can’t?!?! I redid it a few more times and still get the same message of not enough space.

Now all I get is the green splash screen then it shuts itself off. Luckily, I ordered the 2.0008 firmware from Pioneer a couple weeks ago and waiting to receive it.

I apologize for the book I wrote, but I’m completely frustrated and annoyed and need some severe help and figured the more info I give, the better someone would hopefully understand. PLEASE HELP!!!!

More info...

It has the 2.008 version.

Again, any help is appreciated!

A little background on my system....

Bought the car brand spankin' new and within my standard warranty had to replace my 7010bt 3 TIMES!!! Now it's at that point again where I'm having issues with it and can't get a new one cause dealer said its out of warranty.

Issues:

Won't charge iPod touch at times when I plug it in, only one side of the speakers work until i hit bump (luckily has it had this issue in a LONG while and hoping it stays that way), Bluetooth doesn't work half the time, screen dims back and forth, has changed languages a couple of times on it own, luckily I can read Spanish and barely got through Finnish.

I was wondering where I can find these "updates" that can help some of these problems? Even update my maps? Stupid thing is out of warranty some I'm even down with "hacking" it to get all this fixed. Today I FINALLY, requested from Pioneer the 2.008 update. I honestly haven't checked with version I have, but hopefully have that info by tonight.

Any suggestions and directions would be greatly appreciated!
