Can't believe no one else has replied/responded to this...

I didn't have success w/ doing this using the TVOut you're using... I tried several

from Cydia - TVOut and TVOut mirror or something like that... It never would display Sling

in Landscape.

So I uninstalled those and found TV Out plugin, which works great... it's based off of

TVOut 1.8 by ashikase.

I loaded a small movie sample (.mp4) on to my iPhone, start it like you said on the Avic, then

Home button, then start Slingplayer... and it connects and is displayed - works like a charm.

Thanks for posting! works well

just replied to the original confirmation email... That address

looks familiar. I'm not going to waste time discussing the morality

of getting this update for "free" - enough time has been wasted discussing

that already. For what these units cost, this how the F series should

have worked out of the box... or atleast after the 2.0 update (mho)

all I know is I'm enjoying this head unit again -

directsales@pioneer-usa.com

Just read through the entire Thread...Just ONE question???

 

Should I cancel my $70 Pioneer 3.0 update order?

Does this have absolutely everything that the SD card would come with?

 

I haven't received the order yet, so I'm pretty sure I can cxl with no problems...

Cancelled mine last Saturday after upgrading... Did it via email

no problems. Got a reply and cancel notice by Monday.

OK, thanks for the guidance.

 

I tried loading Testmode; nothing seemed to happen. Downloaded Testmode.zip (from another sub-forum, for F series units), unpacked all files and transferred to SD card.

 

Powered up unit with SD card; bluetooth light comes on, no flashing, no nothing.

make sure to move the whole Testmode folder over not just the files.

In other words the testmode folder to the root of the sd card, not copy

all the files from the testmode folder

I would try the wince.img update and format listed in several places

on here. Then you can just update to 3.0 and probably be good

Can you share how you did the 3.01 update. Some people are saying they followed Pioneers instructions, and that now their unit hangs.

That would be nice!

Tried update from SD 2 times - failed at Map update - red error screen.

From Testmode 2.3-

Finally just copied/replaced all files from that LPU main folder APL, APL2, etc

rebooted and reset - worked like a charm.

Just wanted to say thanks to the guys that posted/hosted/shared the files

and the info!!!

I'm currently running the 3.01 latest update, and it really is like a brand new Unit!!!

Enjoying the F Series once again... boot and response time is awesome!

Thanks again...

Disregard - got it

Can someone describe the ports/connections on this thing?

I didn't find any other pics othere than the Spring store single picture...

 

Is it powered? If so, how.

So I assume you plug the Ipod/Iphone AV cable in to this device right?

 

I'm trying not to sound stupid, (I'm actually an IT guy, and a techie) I just want

to see some pics or get a good description of the connections.

 

Thanks guys! Nice Find!

The only port is a female ipod dock port like you'd find on an ipod. It gets its power from the usb port. There's also a blue light that is solid when the device is looking for a phone to connect to and flashes once every 6 seconds once connected. Other than that, it's just a white plastic box about the size of the ipod plug on the apple cable but a little bit wider. If you search for Anycom FIPO you can find some more information on it.

 

Here's what it will look like:

This link has a picture of it in an ipod speaker doc:

Very cool, thanks for the reply and links spacewilly! Exactly what I was looking for...

Didn't have time to do a lot of searching since I'm @ work.

very cool, ordering one shortly...

already been discussed... in several spots

May have not found any Search results b/c of "discountinued"(sp) try "discontinued"

viewtopic.php?f=32&t=23071

I got my license file from the following ir.zip

Exactl link: http://rapidshare.de/files/40903102/ir.zip.html

This ZIP-file contains several files, but we need just one: EZRIDER.exe and license file. Included license for Europe only, but you can use either license files.

 

You may need the EZRider.exe included in the ir.zip too... but don't use that until somebody else says so for sure.

 

I got the above quote from this thread:

http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19346

From this thread^^^^

Boot the unit in Test Mode.

Open APL2\IGO folder on the AVIC and make a backup copy of ezrider.exe (this is the main Navi program).

Copy ezrider.exe from this forum over the one you just backed up.

Copy a licrense file (.lic) to APL2\igo\license

Copy iGO 8 maps to APL2\iGO\Content\Map.

Reboot the unit. You shoulds have updated maps now...

Where to put the maps, etc. is shown on the first page of this thread

It took me a little while to figure out what goes where... but you always have to read, read, read

I used the EZRIDER.exe and license file from this post on the 2nd page of this thread.

Also, read thru the other thread listed in this post (only 9 pages) also helped me figure out what to do

... once you replace the EZRIDER.exe and add (don't have to replace) the license file to your Flash disk , then you can add the updated maps and they work fine. Also, you don't have to load every state if you don't want, just the ones you want updated information.

hope that helps...

I can verify the 2008.10 are for 8.3 and not 8.0. Originally the link I had downloaded from said they were for 8.0 but after testing them I found out the link was wrong and they only work in 8.3

Indeed... I'd tried the 2008.10 maps yesterday just for kicks, and they def. did not work.

- so 2008.4 it is then...

If and when I start playing around w/ Leetlauncher - then I'll try out the other Maps and Navi software -

Thanks

jb

Hey guys... I loaded the 2008.4 maps with the other files last night (just for GA to test) and they worked just fine.

Here's my question -

Will 2008.10 maps work with our Avic Units ???

I've been doing a lot of readint (lately in the Leetlauncher 3.0 thread) and I'm seeing conflicting info - some say it will work and some say it's not compatilbe with the Avic F series

Anyone know for sure or currently using 2008.10 maps w/o problems???

Thanks!

jb

Better answer this before it gets out of hand.

It's not being discontinued. It's going to be a new revision with upgraded software and new maps, just like the Z Series. Z1/2/3. A software upgrade will also be available for current owners.

They should probably make sure their dealers know this is the case... so they don't

give out the wrong information.

The shop I was at, had the entire F series on display and the newer 3100(i think) unit.

F series had a big display offering a $200 rebate - which I thought maybe be another

indicator of trying to get rid of inventory...

I guess overall this is great news JasonH has posted, I've read a few threads talking about

a 3.0 update - any idea when the upgrade you are talking about will be available?

Thanks for clearing things up! Enjoying the Forum!

The shop where I bought the dash kit and wire harness for my F700bt told me the same thing.

Not many details, just said that the F Series will be discontinued after May, when the new stuff

comes out.

That's all he really knew, and he was actually surprised, b/c he said since the new 2.0 update

he really like the Units...

Only had mine installed for about 10 days now, and after trying/tweaking some different data.zips and tweaks installed, enjoying it so far... oh well.
