That's life! NT doesn't have a rep in each small area of the country to update the topo of their maps. So there is always error here and there . Wow. Nice way to be an ass. I actually live in one of the biggest resort areas in the USA. Ocean City, MD. I thought these forums were a bit more mature than most. Guess I was wrong.

The newest maps still dont show a strip mall built by my house. It has been up and operating since 2007. There are also many other things missing by my home that have been around for even longer. Seems the maps are 5 years behind their actual release dates.

I havent figured out where to put the juice to make my F900 run faster and harder. Guess it will always remain in the minor leagues of stereos.

This update makes my 900 feel like a whole new unit. It is so responsive and fast loading everything. I wish we could load in pics for the people in our phone book and have different skins for the music player... but I love the speed and the updated stereo separation. Great stuff!

After being away from these forums for ages, I decided to stop back to see what was up. I downloaded this update and actually had some problems installing it. Like others, the button hold while trying to install the CE Update eluded me for a bit. When I finally got it right and got everything installed. I did notice a speed boost... but to my surprise, something even better came out of it. Better stereo separation. My music, for some time, I felt sounded flat. To the point of almost being mono. I have all of the music on my Ipod in uncompressed format, so there should be very little degradatio

I havent visited here in a while, but even after the long wait to the fall, it is promising to hear that Pioneer is still supporting the unit with major updates. No matter how late they are. IGO 8.3 and new maps is definitely worth $100. Any speedup of the system is an added bonus with update 3.0

Leet. When you finish this and it is working with all of the features of the original Pioneer software(Hopefully faster loading), I will personally send you $100 via Paypal. The Pioneer software is just too slow loading. Is there any chance that you could get the software to load from other locations, like say an external hard drive? Also, it would be nice to have a visualization plug-in with some cool full screen visualizations during music playback. Thanks for all of your hard work. Many here, like me, truly appreciate it and will be eternally grateful to have fast loading, personalized

I just ran into this problem with all of my Greatest Hits albums. I went back and re-named each of them something different, like instead of Greatest Hits for Night Ranger, I listed it as Hits In The Night. I did this for all but one greatest hits album, which made that the lone survivor. Now, I can call all of them up with ease. Except for Corey Hart... Everytime I say "play artist Corey Hart" it always comes back with "play all albums". Guess I need to rename his album to something a little more easily understood.

I imagine because there is a million ways to phrase something and the search function seems to bring up topics that have no relevance whatsoever. Thanks for the answer though.

I want to get rid of the caution screen when the navigation software loads up. Any ideas? I did a search and couldnt find anything on it. Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to create custom POI icons that will show up on the map, say Mcdonalds for Mcdonalds locations? I was using AVIC FEEDS to et my POI's, but it showed nothing for Original icons and no way to get to them. Any ideas?

ID info for WAV files? I love the lossless audio. The unit doesnt support Apple Lossless, so that doesnt work. I tried the other Apple format tonight and while it sounds good, it isnt brilliant like lossless. I sent a note off to Pioneer to see if they would implement the ability to read these ID tags and Album Art in a future iteration of the firmware. I hope they listen. While Ipods play the Wav files, it is a bitch to try and get album art over. I was unsuccessful in over 4 hours. It just will not add Album Art easily to WAV files. The other info shows up though. A royal pain in the

There is no way of doing this unless someone reverse engineers Pioneer's software(Not the iGo), as that is what controls everything but the iGo software.

Yea. Let me tell you about these guys. My wife and I, before our wedding 6 years ago, wanted a camera to record the special event. We originally wanted one from this business and were ready to complete the order. They called, saying they needed the 3 digit number on the back of the card to complete the transaction. At that time I told them to cancel the order, we had found it elsewhere. We get our new camera from the other source and about 5 days later, the camera from this POS company shows up. I called them up and said we had canceled the order a week ago. They look in their records and see

I bought my f900bt new on Ebay for $529. Circuit City installed it for $100. Not sure what you guys charge for install, but if it is $100 off...

Edit all... THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT and IT runs off of 12volts!!! http://www.rvcams.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RBCARVS&Product_Code=CSW5000Q&Category_Code=

Are they used? Or are they just extra bloatware that was never edited out by the Pioneer coders? I am trying to understand this system and what is used and not, in order to make a cleaner install and ultimately get everything running faster.

I am going to look all of the files over in the unit itself and make sure that none of these files, namely the voice files, are present. I would imagine the french and the spanish would be in the unit. If this were the case, these files would not be loaded at startup, freeing up some memory for other things. I really did feel more responsiveness to the unit when it came to button presses and map drawing. The startup was merely speculation. On another note, it seems as if, with the newest update(2.0) that Pioneer plans to add a lot of voices to the unit. Go into the update zip, specifically

Good to hear I am not seeing things. Not sure why Pioneer would load foreign regions by default for American units. It seems a huge waste of resources, especially since the unit takes a decent amount of time to start up already. Regardless, I am glad it worked. Now if I could only get into the media player and allow for ID tags and album covers for wav files, I would be set.

Good to know, thanks for the information. Guess I need to get an Ipod.

Yea, sorry about that. data.zip/config/preload.ini

Awesome. Will the unit still see them, if they are coming from something other than an Ipod? I wil eventually get an ipod, for voice control alone, but at the moment dont have one.

Looking through all of the .ini files and such, I found a litle gem that is called preload.ini that I believe tells the system what to load at startup. The problem happens to be, that 90% of the maps and such that are preloading... are from Europe. It looks like this: [1] key="SYS" name="System data" file1="data.zip" file2="content/map/basemap.fbl" file3="klavika_medium.ttf" [2] key="DEW" name="West EU elevation data" file1="content/dem/weu.dem" [3] key="DEE" name="East EU elevation data" file1="content/dem/eeu.dem" [4] key="FR1" name="France Map data" file1="

Yes, all of the quality settings were on high, unfortunately. I have been a musician for 20 some odd years, I guess I have become a clairvoyant when it comes to sound.
