Which vehicle caused the crash? Did it go away after you switched back? I switch vehicles all the time and never had a problem. It could be a bad vehicle file as I have not tested them all out.

Thats the bad part, I don't remember which car it was. You can't switch it back, because it crashes every bootup.

Hey brother, I tried switching vehicles, and unfortunately I've found an issue. After I rebooted, now it crashes when you try to go into NAV. It says

OUT OF MEMORY and shows something about a cache. If you click ok, it reboots. If you click the ipod you can still get into the ipod section but no more nav.

I figured maybe I can trash my user preferences if I can figure out how to to that, or just reinstall the whole mod.

Nevermind I found the post about the trip computer. Thanks for the awesome mod man.

Sorry if this was previously covered, posting from my phone on a road trip. Is there a way to get rid of the trip computer nag?

Awesome mod by the way. My issue before was a corrupt sd card.

First of all, take care of any problems you are having with the FX3.1. My mod will work with any firmware version 3.0 and higher. Yes, leave the schemes in their zipped format.

Agreed, although I'm not sure what could be causing those problems with it not loading files.

Update: I thought I was good, but something is still f'd up. Everything works most of the time, but I'm not sure what happened during the file copy or update

because when I press HISTORY under navigation, a "windows" window pops up and says it cannot open some file and the application terminates. Stupid thing is it only

happens sometimes, other times history works fine.

Also, I tried to set a route yesterday and out of the blue it crashed with a different window that said that some file about 'exit numbers' or something couldn't

be loaded and it crashed again the same way. Right after that it worked on a different route.

Model: F90BT

Devices Connected (XM, iPod, etc) : Two different model IPODS

AV Source (if playing) during issue: None

Action that caused the issue (pressed button, search, etc): Booting up

Was GPS routing? (yes/no) no

Was BlueTooth active? If yes, what device? no

Anything else you would like to add: IPOD's aren't recognized 50% of the time when you bootup. You have to disconnect and reconnect them.

Also, do we leave the scheme files zipped?

Hello, this looks lika an awesome mod, but I have a question. I upgraded to 3.1 with the FX mod but I am having errors with it. What happens if I try to use

your mod with the 3.1 firmware? Should I reflash to 3.0?

Hey brother, thank you for creating this, however I do have a question. I thought everything was working great, but the first time I pressed the "HISTORY" button, it crashed with an error that it could not load a certain file in some folder. Next thing that happened is I tried to map a route and it crashed again and said it couldn't load another file, something about the exit numbers. Any ideas?

Just wanted to give a huge thank you to this fix. It worked for me whereas nothing else would. My unit was stuck on a reboot right after the pioneer splash screen.

There is an easier way to do this though. You don't need three SD cards, you can do this all from one SD Card. I have a 16gb generic SDHC card that works

fine. It has the WinCE update on it, test mode, and also the contents of the myflashdisk and I did the whole process with just this.

1) Reflashed/upgraded WINCE through the service menu.

2) Reboot into test mode with same SD Card.

3) Unmounted and deleted the myflashdisk partition.

4) Created new partition called part00 and formatted it.

5) Copied contents from the SD card myflashdisk to the one on the unit.

6) Rebooted and the infinite loop was gone.

I believe that he is aware of this and working on a fix.

i'll post the update later, too many thing going on right now and haven't had a chance to do anything else,

Is there a file we can edit to fix it, if that will save you some time.

Okay, found the "fix" for the street names issue but the clock is still FUBAR.

 

Any help here?

What was the fix for the street names? I see you said auto zoom but I have no clue how to set that.

Dude, if you got it from someone else, seed it. It's only fair. I'll seed it for a couple weeks if someone will please seed it now.

A lot of people need the 3.0 upgrade but no one is seeding it anymore. Can someone send it to me so I can seed? PM me or answer here and we'll figure out a way to get it to me, then I'll seed it as I have a fast connection.

^^ Only premium members can Download over 1GB though.... well if there are any premium members out there... that will work for ya.

Hey man, can you do us all a HUGE favor and split that up into downloadable files? I really need that whole update but I can't get to it since it's premium only. Maybe you can find somewhere that allows more than a GB for free download?

i've got the same issue. worked fine for like the first week of getting AVIC installled. but pre 2.0 patch and post 2.0 patch, the thing is so flaky with the iPod. there'll be times when i have to connect and disconnect over 10 times and still sometimes won't work at all. very irritating when playing music from the iPod is the most important thing for me. (13,000 songs). good thing i bought the xm module. i took all my cd's out of the car. no having to lug those around was another reason for buying the Ipod & avic.

 

anyways, i really hope pioneer recognizes this as huge bug they need to fix. where it's the quality of the cables or if it's something in the software.

 

on a positive note, it worked perfect when i left the ipod in the car all this week. but, today i took it out to listen to music at work. put it back in after work. same stupid issue. wouldn't connect at all!

If you have an SD card in remove it. That's what fixed my problem, not crappy Pioneer.

So, my last complaint with the F series has been that it has been dropping my iPod constantly on bootup about half the time. I got my F700BT a few days before Halloween. My iPod didn't drop once until the 4th day or so. Then it dropped continuously atleast once every day upon bootup.

 

For the past two days, I have gotten in and out of my car about 10 times a day and the iPod was picked up EVERY SINGLE TIME. I also noticed something else... I noticed that I have not had my SD card in the unit either. I also did not start leaving my SD card in the unit until about 4 days after I got the unit. So, for me anyway, taking out the SD card has totally fixed my iPod problems. And to double check this, I put the SD card back in, booted it up and sure enough, the iPod was dropped by the 3rd bootup trial.

 

My theory is that the problem lies within initialization of all the sources on bootup. From what I can tell, the order of when the SD and iPod get initialized affects how the system sees the sources. The SD card reader in the unit probably runs off of the internal USB controller, much like the SD reader in my home computer. After all, the AVIC is just a Windows CE computer.

 

So, if the SD reader is running off of the internal USB controller AND as we know the iPod also runs off of the USB controller of the unit, therein lies the problem. The initialization of the SD as a source on bootup is screwing up the timing of the control commands sent out to the iPod.

 

So if anyone else has a recurring issue with the iPod not being recognized on bootup, try removing your SD card and see what that does. It does make sense though that it would be a problem with the timing of the USB initialization since every time the iPod drops, it works again right away when you unhook the reconnect the USB cable. That's my theory anyway.

I have to give you a HUGE thank you on this one. You are 100 percent CORRECT about this. IT WAS THE SD card keeping the IPOD from being recocgnized at bootup. I called PIONEER and told them about it, and the guy was like oh no that was fixed in the 2.0 update. It wasn't.

They are aware now that they still have an issue.

Again, thank you, you solved my problem or at least gave me a workaround.

My IPOD 80gb all of a sudden will not work on bootup of the F90 whereas it would work for a week at a time. Once it stops working, it will CONSTANTLY not work at bootup. I'll have to unplug and re-plug the cable and it pisses me off to no end. I am amazed that pioneer was able to release this product to the public.

 

Do you ever have anything positive to say?

 

.

No I don't have anything positive to say about this product, and it wasn't the cable. The IPOD will not initialize about 99 percent of the time on my system with the SD card inserted.

Like I said before, this is a problems/troubleshooting forum. Don't read it if you don't like people complaining about problems constantly.

I still think this product is inferior and I will do everything in my power to stop as many people from buying it as possible.

I have had problems for weeks with the IPOD not being recognized at system startup. Thanks to someone very smart on here, NOT PIONEER, we have a workaround.

On mine and several others systems, if the SD card is inserted (with or without music I am unsure of..), the IPOD will 95 percent of the time not initialize at bootup.

I have confirmed removing the SD card this week, the IPOD has worked every single time.

PIONEER says this shouldn't be happening after the 2.0 update. (duh.) But at least they are aware of it now.

Dude! Effing sell it already then!

 

I hate to be honest with YOU, but my unit works, and let me say this slowly for you, P-E-R-F-E-C-T-L-Y. All I'm living with is a great aftermarket headunit that lets me voice command my iPod, talk on my Bluetooth phone hands-free, plays AM/FM, HD radio, XM satellite, navigation and play movies WHILE I DRIVE!

 

If yours doesn't then get rid of it, burn it, throw it off a bridge, use it as a doorstop, WHATEVER! But quit acting so butthurt and stop whining about it!

 

Plenty of us have had either no problems or very little! The fact that your unit is so problematic incredibly enough doesn't mean that all of ours are.

 

Let it go! You sound like some X Box fanboy on the Playstation network!

 

Thank You! Some people do not deserve to have money...

 

You can go f* yourself dude. How about that? I paid GOOD money for this piece of junk, and it's none of your business.

 

it actually is my business, because of your retarded comments people are choosing other units, you are a dumbfuck you are the only one with the fucking issues, yet instead of calling Pioneer and telling them you bitch on here how it sucks, how you hate it and all the other fucking shit no one gives a fuck about. If you have a problem with it post it in problems and people MIGHT assist you, but dont go bitching and moaning and ruining all threads with this shit.

 

Actually dickhead, I have called Pioneer 8 times, reported them to the BBB and started a petition against them about this. I was on the phone with them today actually.

 

Thank you, sit down and shut up. Opinion given.

 

Why the fuck are you even in this forum?

 

report a company to BBB due to user stupidity, yes... they will take you seriously... if you did what you even claim

 

sit down shut the fuck up? wow... real original...

 

I am on this forum like the other thousands of users to put in their 2 cents, well everyone but you who keeps bitching like its the time of the month.

Pioneer has responded to my complaint twice. They called me immediately after I filed the complaint. They are still blaming it on a "bad cable" because they can't figure out the problem and don't want to try.

So me connecting my IPOD and it not working at bootup is my fault. Thanks, you're real helpful.

Talk about user stupidity, it's user stupidity to say I am the only one having problems with my unit. You must be blind.

Dude! Effing sell it already then!

you are a dumbfuck you are the only one with the fucking issues, .

RETARDED POST OF THE YEAR ALERT. I AM THE ONLY ONE WITH ISSUES. I guess that's why theres about 300 posts in this forum.

Yup, you are incredibly stupid, and yeah I hope you do feel bad because I have talked about 10 people out of buying this junk.

Dude! Effing sell it already then!

Mr. WOMO is now my new hero..... It's about time someone finally said something....

People here are retarded obviously. This forum is for people having problems. If you don't fucking have any, go post somewhere else.

Thank you. Now I'm your hero.

Lesson. If you can't help anyone here, don't post.
