  1. Dear All,

     

    This is my first post but it's going to be VERY IMPORTANT for those, like me, that had a bricked F900BT. My AVIC, after a couple of months working very well, stopped working: Starting up and a few seconds shutting down permanently...

     

    I've spent hours reading here at AVIC411 and in other sites, getting more and more confused. I've got an backup image here ( without maps ) and my device worked and rebooted every 3 minutes...

     

    The following procedure was partially got from an italian forum ( pioneernavgate.blogfree.net )but again, besides the italian language ( even with the aid of a online tranlator ), it was a little bit messy. The way i got my AVIC working was a lot more simple :

     

    HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED:

     

    - Testmode v 2.3 ( you can find it here at AVIC411 )

    - a first 2Gb SD card ( formmated in FAT 32 )

    - a second 2 Gb SD Card ( formmated in FAT 32 )

     

    - Download this: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3YBUDX0P and after downloading it rename it to "avic f900_700_500 ver_3.000300.rar"

    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CAK7C9HA and after downloading it rename it to "avic f900_700_500 ver_3.000301.rar"

    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RAGYEFBX and after downloading it rename it to "avic f900_700_500 ver_3.000302.rar"

    ( IMPORTANT: disregard what the downloaded files say: part1, 2...just do what i've written above )

    - Extract the 3 to a single folder.

    - This folder will say " My Flash Disk". Copy this folder to the first SD Card.

     

    - Copy "testmode" folder into the first SD card as well.

     

    - Insert SD Card to the F900BT SD Slot and then turn the car key on. The "testmode" will allow you to access Windows CE of your device. With this you can start exploring it.

    - At Windows you should go to "Start" - > "Settings" - > "Control Panel" -> " Storage Settings ". Here you' ll see the disk structure of your device. You should Dismount "DSK1" and then click on "NEW" and name it "My Flash Disk". With this procedure, your previous " My Flash Disk" is clean ( I've done this because before that i couldn't erase all the files in it ).

     

    - Copy all files inside first SD Card's folder "My Flash Disk" to your device "My Flash Disk". This will take a while ( 15 or more minutes ) so, probably, your car engine should be running.

     

    - After all files are successfully copied, remove SD Card from your device SD slot and shut your car engine.

     

    At this moment, your device still doesn't work.

     

    - Download Pioneer's new firmware for this model here hXXp://213.244.172.244/files/support/avic_apl_upgrade/AVIC-F700900/09%20model/AVIC_F700BT_F900BT_CNSD100FM_VER_3020200.zip and extract it to your second SD Card.

     

    - With the car key turned off, insert this second SD to your device SD Slot.

    - Turn the key on ( this will take 10 or more minutes ), probably starting the engine and keep it running.

    - The device will be updated automatically. DON'T TURN THE CAR KEY !!! Let the Update proceed itself to the end. This will look sometimes that is stalled but let it run. The F900BT will reboot itself and, after a minute or so, IT'S READY !!!!

    :!:

     

    THIS WORKED WITH MINE biggrin.gif ! I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MIGHT OCCUR IN YOURS ! :neutral:

     

    ENJOY!

    Please... does anyone have these files??
