Yeah it didn't happen today, I bet it doesn't happen this week even.
-
All you should need is an SD WiFi adapter and it has drivers for Windows Mobile.
-
Yeah that's their famous suggestion. "Send the unit in to Pioneer". It's a known fact that Pioneer tech support sucks, but it's not that the reps are idiots, they simply don't know anything that's going on, nor are they told anything, so they really have no answers. Also the new update is rumored to be posted today or tomorrow.
I highly doubt that update will happen as planned, call me negative...
-
I called Pioneer tech support today if nothing else then just to bitch them out for releasing a poor product unprepared for public use and the rep who was on the phone was a total idiot.
He suggested I exhange my unit and I said look man, don't try to tell me it's my unit, go online where there's 1000 problems with this this thing.
I did get him to confirm they are working on a firmware update but that's all he would say.

What exactly is the phonebook? When I transfer the phonebook from my Treo750 it just has the 2 names that I have on the quickdial as my contacts on the F90.
Is it supposed to transfer your whole contacts list to the headunit?
-
What mods are included in the posted file?
Mine just has the parking brake mod software bypass. On my actual unit I have the blue/green box trick done as well. That was a stupid bug from Pioneer.
-
What will you use for a browser?
Internet Explorer.
I'm not concerned about browsing the internet, I'm thinking more about transferring files back and forth to the unit using wifi.

Success!!
Answer: Winzip sucks.
Did it with WinRar and presto! Maybe that'll help somebody.
Yeah I think I'm actually using WinRar now that you mention it. Sorry about that.

Hey Guys-
I've read this post a couple of times over, starting out with zero knowledge of even how to make mods. but i've come a lil' ways. Trying to make the change to the "pioneer.ini" file so the video will work while driving. here's my process, and result. anybody see my mistake???
After copying "My Flash Disk" from the HU, of course.
1) Navigated to "My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo".
2) Copied the "DATA.zip" file.
3) Put it elsewhere to work with it.
4) Double-clicked it, viewing its content in WinZip.
5) right-clicked on the "pioneer.ini" file, and selected "view" which opens it in Notepad.
6) Make the change from 16.0 to 128.0 on the line: "parking_break_speed=".
7) "File", "Save", X out of Notepad.
Window prompt comes up saying: that the pioneer.ini file "has been changed since it was extracted. Update archive with this file?" - to which I select "Yes".9) It updates the "DATA.zip" archive and i close the Winzip window.
10) Copy the modified "DATA.zip" file to the SD card and out to the car.
11) Boot the HU in WinCE, and navigate to "My Flash Disk\APL2\iGo".
12) Rename the "DATA.zip" file in there to "DATA-bak" (of course, still maintaining its ".zip" extenstion).
13) Copy the modified "DATA.zip" file from my SD card and paste it there, along side the "DATA-bak.zip" file.
14) Close out of all that, turn off the car, take out the SD card, turn the car back on.
15) Go for a spin. After hitting approx 10mph the video feed from the DVD that's in there blacks out with the "Viewing of front seat video source while driving is strictly prohibited".
'preciate all yalls' time!
And your parking brake wire is grounded?
-
Can someone explain exactly what you do with these? I put them in I think...but when I go MANAGE POIS there are a group of POIS there with icons next to them...like RESTAURANTS, etc...I have no idea what to do next.
-
The operating system supports network, because if you go into the windows explorer you can see network.
-
Thanks for the fix, I haven't used the Nav much yet, but I noticed right away how stupid those boxes were.
-
it should but the only thing is does the os have the network capbl. of reading the wifi network. you might have to do some modding to get it to work but that would be cool if you could. you might look at some stuff on xda develpors. you might find the code or the info to get this up and running.
i was wondering if that would work my self
It worked on my phone with windows mobile 5, not sure if CE supports it.
-
I changed mine to about 75 percent and saw no increase in speed.
-
I had this SD WiFi adapter for my Palm but unfortunately I left it at my old job and I don't think I'll ever see it again. I am probably going to order a new one and see if I can get WIFI on the head unit in test mode.

I can't believe how buggy this thing actually is. I got the F90 installed yesterday and boy does it have issues. It doesn't recognize my IPOD sometimes at all when it boots up, locks up the IPOD at times, is slow as hell, etc etc etc
Anyone else having this ipod issue?

I just got an avic-f700bt and downloaded the modified DATA.zip file from the thread to remove the blue boxes. Then after I successfully copied it from the SD card to the My Flash Disk/Apl2/igo. Then I wanted to do the software bypass to change the speed at which I am locked out of the unit and this is where I ran into trouble. I extracted modified DATA.ZIp file that I downloaded and went to DATA.ZIP\DATA\project_config and I edited the INI. I changed the parking_break_speed value from 16 to 128. Then I used winrar and compressed the folder into a zip that I named DATA.zip. I then put it on my sd card, copied it over and when I try to turn my unit on, it always says that it is booting up. I can get to my radio but since that box is saying System Startup or what not , I cannot access maps, bluetooth or settings really. Did I do something wrong when I was recompressing the folder?
You cannot extract the INI then re-compress it. You have to use WINZIP to modify the INI file while it is still inside DATA.ZIP.
(At least this is what I have come to understand.)
Those who have tried to unzip it, modify, and re-zip have had problems if I remember correctly.
-
Yes, it will work. Will it be fun or convenient to navigate 9GB worth of music files without the aid of a music library organizational system? Hell no lol.
I use shuffle all the time, but that's what happens when you have 35,000 songs!
-
Let us know if you notice any glitches after the process. You may want to start a new thread "manually updating you firmware". Or something to that affect.
I do know that I used mine stock for a couple of weeks, just so that I can get a baseline of how it acts. So that later on after you start modding you'll be able to know if it's acting funny or not. Something you may consider...
Peace Out!
I'm not going to update the firmware, just copy the data.zip file over like you did.
-
I haven't actually installed my unit yet, that happens tomorrow, but I noticed that a couple of the units (mine being the F90BT) can play back DVD Dual Layer discs burned with MP3's. This being the case, you should be able to add another 9gb of MP3's or videos (in raw file form) from the DVD drive. Can anyone with at least the F90BT confirm it will playback DVD Dual Layers with MP3's burned in data mode?
-
Can someone write a batch file to rename the stock data.zip and copy this one off of the SD card automatically to the headunit? I don't have mine yet but I'll work on it when I do.
-
I modded the DATA.ZIP file from Pioneer's update without unpacking it using winzip, and here it is available for download. This just modded to bypass the lockout so you don't have to do the mute wire ground trick. You still should have to ground the parking brake wire.
It should be injected back into the file system here:
\LPUE080\APL2\iGo
For those of you who don't understand how to modify this, you can just copy my version over to the head unit (after you rename the original one to data.bak.)

Please keep in mind this is untested. I am just going by what I have been reading on here. Please let me know if you experience any issues with this.

I could really use this, I just bought a 90BT and all I want is the video bypass, and if possible the the adjustment to allow more memory to be used for applications. The reason I am asking is because I own a mac, and I have not been able to find a compression tool that will let me edit a zip file without extracting it....
If any one can help me out either with the modded files, or by pointing out a tool that will work on a mac, I would appreciate that.
Thanks
I'll upload the data.zip file somwwhere for you man.
Here you go brother.

Next you can trim the image, resize the canvas so that it is a square, and then resize everything to 82px X 85px.
Thanks man...sorry for not catching that before.
Internet Access on F900BT

Exactly. My Treo750 doesn't have wifi we got ripped on that, but that MiniSD Wifi Adapter works with my Treo, then put anothe one on the headunit and you have internet access.
