@Boxer,

try to copie the "USER" and "DATA" directories from "MY FLASH DISK MB"  to your Avic (first make a backup of these directories on your device and delete them before putting the new USER and DATA directories on your system) which Guizmo posted earlier in this topic.

Maybe this will help?

Attention. Please first make a backup of your flash disk!

Hi Matt,

Did you allready try to put both firmware files (WINCEIMG.BIN and WINCEIMG.CKS) on the root of the SD card and flash the system with these files?

To get into the flash menu press the following buttons in the same time: menu button, map button and eject button. also press the reset button with a stylus pen. In the black screen retire the stylus of reset and in the blue screen take your fingers of the 3 buttons. In the blue screen use the following code with the joystick: up, up , down, press menu button, left, right and press the center of the joystick to valid. After this you wil get a menu and select "0" and upgrade with SD card (without a format!) . The new firmware will be installed.

Important! Please check the Pioneer website which firmware you can install! for europe check: http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/support/software/AVIC-F900BT/page.html

Hi!

After spending 2 days in my car the Navigation is now working!

I have tried everything possible but after installing a newer firmware v.3.021 and installing the "My Flashdisk" files from Guizmo my F900BT was back to life.

But i don't like the red customized layout (sorry Guizmo) so i put the original directories back to the flashdisk (APL, APL2, APL3, USER, DATA, etc. After this i copied the new MAP, POI, BUILDíNG and ezrider to the flashdisk and voilá my system is working with the new 2014 maps! 

Thanks for helping me Guizmo.

I have copy the "MAP" "POI' and "BUILDING" tot the flashdisk ( i have replaced the original files with the new files)

I also put the new Ezrider on the flashdisk (replaced the original Ezrider file)

At last i put the new License files in the Lincence folder on the flashdisk

After a restart the system says: "System start in progress, please wait"  After a few minutes the system reboots and this messages is showing again??

All programms work (Radio, SD music, USB music, Contacts, etc.) but i still can't start up the navigation software. The F900BT navigation doesn't show me the Map version??

What has gone wrong???

Hi Guizmo,

Today i have installed the F900BT. For now it is working fine. The radio response quickly and the startup-time is okay!

As far as i can see i have map version: 02.000600 and firmware 3.020200

Because the F900BT is working fine for me and therefore (in my opinion) no firmware update is necessary i only want to update the navigation software.

Is this possible and what exactly do i need to do to get the latest navigation software? Do i only have to replace the MAP, POI and BUILDING in the internal drive/flash disk?

And to make a backup of the whole F900BT software i just have to copy the files and directories available on the internat drive to my SD card?

Please help me with this. I will appreciate!

Thank you!

okay thank you. i will try it when i have received the f900bt

Sorry i don't understand. Do i have to download the latest firmware from the Pioneer site?http://www.pioneer.eu/nl/support/software/AVIC-F900BT/page.html

And after the update i can install the latest 2014 map by following the link you put into the reply? Or do i need to install customized firmware before i can install the latest navigation map?

Thank you for helping me.
