This morning I started working on a fix for my f90bt that continuously reboots upon entering map mode. Prior to this problem, I had absolutely NO mods. So this is a software issue, and not something we have created.

First, I used two sd cards. The first card had test mode on it so I could get in, the next had the 2.0 update. I entered test mode and then put the update card in. You may be able to use one card, but I already had the files on separate cards. I started to replace each file on the flash drive with the update files. I did everything except the APL2/iGo folder. Nothing worked. Then to verify my hunch, I copied over the APL2/iGo as stated above. Upon hard reboot, the unit started working the same as before. Next I tried coping my data.zip file before the copy to see if that was the reason behind the issue. Sure enough, it started rebooting on the map screen again. I copied the 2.0 update data.zip back into place and no more issues.

If someone wants to help me verify this, please install the 2.0 update data.zip file in place of the current one on the unit and see if that works. Otherwise, try the entire iGo folder. This fixed my unit, and hopefully will save you the trouble of returning the unit to pioneer.

now maybe you could help the rest of us out. will you post those files for the 90bt so we can try to reinstall. If I do it one at a time, I might be able to locate which file has the problem

I have had the same issue, only with a few songs on my SD. Not sure why they do it.

If for some reason you do reinstall those files from the other unit, let us know if it works. If it does, please post those files so I can do the same. I think it is really weird that something magically changed from one day to the next and now everyones avic is rebooting. Sounds like pioneer needs to issue another update.

Another post about continous rebooting. Started yesterday, no real reason that I can explain. The unit has no mods either. I did figure out that if the Nav/Map part is not active, the unit works fine. I can drive around all day if I do not enter the map, but as soon as you hit the "ok" on the nav auth screen, the unit reboots and continues to reboot. The only way to stop the continous reboot is to stay in park or hard reset. I am absolutely sure this is linked to the Nav/GPS part, but I dont know if anyone has any way to resolve it without pulling the unit out.

Anyone have any ideas?
