" . . * Input media number is already in use. * (Error Code: 10) . . . This is the message if you use previously used media code and another (in my case the second one) device number. I do have two units and i have purchased two updates separately (Pioneer and Crutchfield). After reading your question, I just tried to see what is going to happen . .

Hi cranbers, How did you get activation password for your v3 update Just explain procedure and password length . . if you do not mind. I am struggling to get what I have paid for (site down for days) . . Looks that you have been a lucky one. Sincerely, Bob

Redundancy . . . .system with "lowest criticality" .? For what . . . password generator and very small database . . a piece of cake . . You can put it even on a single floppy and if it is necessary, upload to PUSA guys if they do not have it or they have been on the vacation. Again do not blame Japan . . they have been dealing with earthquakes successfully for years . . show me their site which is down right now . . comeoooon please PUSA technicians a....s failed to be there during the weekend . . now they are struggling . . . somebody should be fired for it!

PUSA means Pioneer USA and we are dealing with PUSA guys. Again DO NOT BLAME natural disaster (unfortunate and sad event) for such bad business practice. The activation generator and anything else is ALWAYS backed up on some sort of media and NOT at only one place. PUSA was closed this weekend and nobody was willing to move back in the office . . I have called PUSA and they said that " ...they are closed (even tech dpt) during the weekend . . . server is down . . it is what it is . . please wait until server is up . ." SO WHAT ELSE TO SAY . . this is actually some sort o

" .......10:30AM - Still down, and the correct phone # is 1-800-Pioneer, I just called and guess what, their system is down as well..... " _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Their system was down on Friday at least! They are doing NOW something that they are supposed to do THREE DAYS AGO! So, do not blame earthquake in Japan . . it was ONLY extremely bad business practice ..

Input device number is not correct. (Error Code: 1) Is it possible that they do not have THE RIGHT database - the manufacturer gave them the wrong data base with the hardware IDs ( device numbers or whatever) ???? If that is the case (I hope not) they should have a totally different approach to the maps activation . . . and we will spend another week or more waiting for the damn fix of this craziness. Actually, I do not lake speculations, BUT when something goes wrong for so long, speculations are unavoidable . . bad for Pioneer. Such behavior shown by Pioneer is simply NOT ACCEP

Hi Rob, You are right. It was Firefox . . . with IE no problem at all . .Glad I was wrong with Pioneer USA. . Thanks! Bob

Ha . . ha . . . Another joke from the customer service (not just Pioneer's) It is very sad that these people who are doing "technical support" to the small computer (AVIC), are talking such "smart" statements . . . and . . . no . . no more comments . . !

Mine was purchased with old firmware than upgraded to 2.0 by myself. It was working fine for about six months.

How to re-flash update from SD if unit goes blank after 10-15 seconds . . Also, how to reach test mode CE screen when unit stops (10-15 seconds) before you reach the end of "loading" (in test mode) . . It was a few days that I got this problem after the regular oil change - sounds crazy, but these guys did something wrong with the battery power in order to "reset" oil change warning . . . There will be no problem at all if I can get Windows CE screen before unit goes blank , , , I do have backup files, software update 2 and test mode files . . . . Any ideas?
