Sorry mate, I only have limited knowledge on this - what I have told you I did, worked for me! I'm sure someone who knows more will be here soon to tell you more. I hope you manage to get this sorted out.

I could not get my F500BT to boot in Test mode the way you have tried either. Try downloading LeetLauncher from here http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18522 and then going into test mode through that.

Try doing the update reinstall using the guide http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20119. That's what worked for me.

Thanks mate, I'll give that a go!

marmski, What is the file name and location for the file between 'Phone' and 'settings' at the bottom where you have put the Mazda text? I want to do the same with lexus text. Thanks Dave Anyone? Dave

alexiske, If I remove to whole 'contents' and the 'ScanSoft' folders then the file is only 17mb so if you PM me your email address I could send you a link to download it. Dave

I just downloaded the manual to check; looks like you're out of luck. I have emailed pioneer but had no response yet (48hrs ago). I think it must be in feeds and for some reason it's just not working on mine?

That setting does not exist in "Settings, System Settings" on the f500bt. Think that is on the double din units maybe?

Has anyone done this using feeds and it worked? I want to know if that is what the 'Hardware Key Illumination' is for? Dave

alexiske, sorry I have only just noticed your post. I will try to trim down my igo folder ie, get rid of the maps, then try to upload it for you Dave

Someone must know how to do this.... I just want it to match my orange dash lights. I just want it to look like the pic on this forums header!! Dave

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to change the colour of the Menu, Map, Vol and on/off keys on a f500bt? I've tried using 'hardware key illumination' on feeds but that does nothing. Is there another way? Dave

Woohoo!! That's it all done and working fine!!! EU maps on a US F500BT! BIG Thanks to Ant and GUGA for their help, and this site because without this site I would have been stuffed! Dave

Thanks GUGA, Just so I'm sure... 1) Add the worldwide license (don't replace). 2) Add Uk maps 3) Replace ezrider.exe Is that right? Also which is the EXACT ezrider.exe to use for this? Dave

Ant you are THE man!!! Great Idea, I never thought of that - I just did it and it has worked!!!!! I can't tell you how happy I am!!! Now all I need to know is if someone can explain step by step to a noob how to get UK maps to run on this US unit. Thanks again Ant! I'm off to make a full backup of my system so I don't mess it up again while trying to put UK maps on it!

Please....... has ANYONE got a back up of there Apl2/igo folder from their f series that they could upload somewhere for me? Dave

I backed up the us maps and licence files ONLY but then replaced the whole igo folder on the flash with the one off leets launcher 1.5 + EU map and licence I downloaded off this site. Then because that made this problem I tried to replace the zrider.exe with the one off this link http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic. ... t=launcher. I have now replaced the EU map and licence off the original flash but the rest of the folder including the sys file and data file are still the ones from leets launcher as I never made a back up the whole flash iGo folder. I coppied over the SYS.TXT and D

Thanks a lot for that GUGA, but that has still not worked!! I don't know what I have done but now when the 'system startup in progress' message is there the after the splash screen has finished, the UI (3 icons)is there for a couple of seconds and then dissapears leaving a black screen and the warning message. if I touch the screen where the icons normaly are they apear and work other than the Nivi which gets to the waring message and freezes. Please help me out!!!! Your friend couldn't back up his flash storage and upload that (may be to rap!d share or something) for me so that I

Hi Guys, Sorry if this has been mensioned before but I got a little lost trying to find things about it. I'm a total noobie to this so please go easy on me. I bought a f500bt from the states thinking I could just add EU maps and use it in the UK (where I live). After lots of messing about I then found out from Pionner that the system is regional and the US unit cannot be used in the UK. After reading a few things on the net (but before finding this site) I tried to boot through Leetlauncher and change the lic file and maps on the avic to be EU not US. As I had not found this s
