  1. Do you guys still need help? Sorry, but haven't been here in a while.
  2. Do what I posted here: It worked like a charm for my F700BT. Sorry so long, but I don't frequent here as much as I used to.
  3. Better yet... Here's a link to an old thread. Follow the instructions and you should be ok.
  4. I have a "My Flash Disk" that I downloaded in 2017. Not exactly sure what it is, but I have a F700BT so I must've used it for something. I also have the "hybrid-4.001" files if you think that will help. I have a video that may help with this process. Can you suggest somewhere I can upload the files to.
  5. Start here to update firmware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyWhmWKnoG0 Here next to update maps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma49TYCPxnE I did this, but didn't have to install a third party mod. After I did the firmware update, I copied the new map and poi files to their correct folders and the they worked correctly. Almost forgot... Make sure you back up before you start. You need the backed up files for the firmware upgrade anyway. Since they did a lot of construction in the Pittsburgh area, it's awesome that it doesn't look like I'm driving through someone's
  6. This looked like a dying thread. I just revived it with an order for a black knurled knob for my F700BT. I can't believe that almost 6 years have gone by since you first started making these.
  7. The benefits of 3.0 are posted all over this forum. In my experience, the best things about 3.0 are the touch screen response and the better maps and map graphics. I bought mine at the introductory price of $68.60. $120 is a little steep, but for the touch screen response it may be worth it to you. Your call.
  8. The quickest fix I know of would be to copy your music files to a PC. Format your flash disk to FAT32 and copy them back. I'm sure there's probably a way to correct the files on your MAC, but don't know for sure myself. I have a friend that borrows my flash drive and plugs it into her MAC and it always comes back with those funky MAC files on it.
  9. Yes. Huge improvement just with touch screen response alone. That made it well worth it for me. No more frustrating double touches.
  10. I looked on Pioneer's site before I posted, but didn't see any documentation for wiring an amp. After further review, it's there, so definitely go with what madsonp posted.
  11. 1. I'm using about 10GB of a 16GB card, and it takes about a minute and a half until the unit indexes the MP3s. 2. Same as #1. 3. Touch screen only. 4. Slight lag, but nothing too bad. 5. I'm happy with mine. Small quirks but very minor.
  12. To be totally honest, I didn't find this forum until after I had already bought my F700BT and after reading about all the problems people are having I thought, what in the world did I get myself into. Now that I've been using it since January of this year, (installed it myself by the way) I really like it a lot. The only trouble I had with my unit was kinda self inflicted. I had an accident a week after I installed it and removed the amp so it wouldn't get stolen while at the body shop, but didn't disconnect the power wire from the battery. When I got the truck back and reinstalled the amp
  13. My F700 has been doing great since I upgraded, but now is starting to do this exact same thing at random times, not at every bootup.
  14. Make sure you're running the most current version of BT software: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... 90BT?tab=F I have a F700BT and having no problems at all using the following SD card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820208377 Remember... Search is your friend.
  15. That's exactly how I felt after reading all of these posts, but I updated my F700 the other day, and it couldn't have been smoother. It didn't fail anywhere during the installation, and in 40 minutes or so it was all done, and I couldn't be happier with it! My feeling is that on any internet forum like this, most people are posting because they have a problem that needs to be fixed, and the ones that are doing fine never chime in. I'm with the Riverman... I'm an older fart just like you, and I had no problems whatsoever upgrading my F700. Just go for it teaster. I was having second t
  16. Does it still have all the functions without the updated TTS files? Just a guess, but maybe the files it was trying to install were already on your system??? The map version will not change with the 2.06 upgrade. This is a firmware update only. You will have to buy the 3.0 upgrade to get the newer maps (second link I posted above). The 3.0 upgrade has a newer version of iGo (navi software) and Win CE (OS). It completely cleans the flash disk and replaces all with 3.0 files. IMO, it is really worth the price just for how the touch screen response is so much better. A few other new go
  17. I just got my F700BT in January, so I'm still a relative noob myself. I'll try to answer a few anyway... 1. All the F Series are running Win CE as an OS, so considering that, boot times aren't bad. About 10 seconds to FM radio (if that's what you had selected before turning the car off). For a fully functional unit, it takes about a minute or 2 at most. Some people complain about that, but it doesn't bother me in the least. 2. I'm using a 16GB SD card in mine now, so 8GB should be ok. Cowon??? 3. USB/SD/CD/DVD has no voice recognition that I know of. IPod does. You can ch
  18. I don't really have time to type a complete tutorial, but these links should get you where you need to be. Just do a little reading and you should be ok. This one is a free firmware download. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... 90BT?tab=F After upgrading to version 2.006, I strongly recommend paying the cost and upgrading to the latest version. You'll be really impressed with your HU if you do. Just read in the F-Series forum about it. Lots of good reviews. New maps and just a better overall unit. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... CNSD-100FM Hope this he
  19. I just finished upgrading and everything went as smooth as silk. This is exactly what this unit needed. Just like everyone else, I'm finding the boot time the same, but the touch screen response is fantastic now. I'll find out how the BT works very soon. My current phone plan is expiring next week and I'm going to upgrade to a BT phone. The time it takes to read my 16GB SD card is also still about the same too, but before the EQ button was very sluggish at best. Now it's like my finger gets close to it and it changes to a different EQ setting. I still have to go for a cruise to see how
  20. Thanks so much for the info Corina. Much appreciated. Looking forward to getting the update. Make: F700BT Ordered: 8/8/09 Status: Shipped No tracking number yet... Update: I received the "official" e-mail and tracking number on 8/13.
