Leet Launcher works with 3.01 firmware in the Fseries units.

iGO 8.3 does not work as of yet. We are still waiting for a hacked version of the easyrider program. Once we have that, upgrade to iGO 8.3 and the newer maps will be possible.

Starting with the 2.06 mod installed on my F700BT:

1. Upgraded WinCE to the WinCE image contained in the Pioneer 3.01 update.

2. Reset the unit and loaded the flashdisk from the X910 flashdisk image on the Turboboss FTP site.

3. Rebooted the unit with the 3.01 update in the SD slot and applied the Pioneer 3.01 update with no hitch what so ever.

I have been running 3.01 from the day the X910 image was first placed on Tuboboss FTP site. I have had zero issues.

I was an early modder to 3.01, as I am very familiar with Windows/WinCE/WinMobile. I essentially followed performed the the procedure in this thread ( viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25817 ) before someone was so nice as to put it in a nice, easy to read format with pics.

The 3.01 modifications to my F700BT resulted in a huge improvement in overall unit performance. My modded 2.0 unit would reboot by itself at least two to three times a week. It was sluggish at everything. The 3.01 modded unit is very responsive, and I have had zero issues since performing the mod.

My only complaint to date is the lack of a hacked easyrider file , but that will come in due time.

If you have not modded..........why the hell not? ...........get busy!!!

Follow this procedure:

viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25817

This will reformat the flashdisk and give you a fresh install.

Your unit is not dead if it is still booting.

Follow this procedure and you will restore your system to with the new 3.0 firmware:

If you don't wish to use 3.0 upgrades, let us know and we will walk you through restoring the unit to 2.0

The antenna connections in the Audi, VW and BMW are all twin, powered connections. There are two antenna groups in all of these vehicles (usually a roof and rear/rear side glass). Experience after owning 2 VWs and a BMW is that reception is considerably degraded with most aftermakret adapters. Please let us know your experience with that adapter, and maybe, just maybe the radio function of aftermarket radios might be useful.

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.

You will find a full flashdisk image.

good read mate

..... btw, I was done in about 30min, only because I insisted on drinking 3 beer in the process

Thanks much for posting the torrent .... the FTP host is a good place to start, but it is quckly overwhelmed. Remeber ......... even after you are complete with your download, continue to seed for your community.

Did the Windows CE update - buttons respond faster. Thanks Bill Gates!

 

But still bluetooth froze, and frankly this is a pain in the butt. The average consumer would not be able to do this.

....funny, as I did not think we were "the average consumer." For those people there are two options:

1. Return the unit if they are unhappy with it.

2. Wait for the pushbutton updates from Pioneer.

....Meanwhile, this community will continue to forge ahead and show the great people at M$ and Pioneer the "art of the possible."

It is because you are not using the hacked ezrider

 

I will try to simplify this

 

1) I updated the WinCE version via the instructions here viewtopic.php?f=33&t=25424&p=172862&hilit=service+menu#p172862 EXCEPT I choose the update WITHOUT formatting option.

2) Using the new testmode 2.3, moved the old APL to APL.bak, and copied over the 3.0 version

3) Crossed fingers, reset

4) Booted! So far I haven't found any problems - some of the menu items are like in the 3.0 screenshot tour viewtopic.php?t=25031 , basically the non-NAV related items (bluetooth call screen, for example)

5) Its still runing iGo 8.0, since I didnt replace the APL 2 folder. Gonna try replacing that next.

 

1: Update WinCE version but not quite ......

Adam,

Thanks for a very concise guide on how to proceed with this update.....mine went flawless. Much appreciated.

After running the 2.0006 for the last 48 hours:

1. Automated GPS timezone fix is still not working

2. XM lables are nice, but not worth the time it takes to update

Stick with your modded 2.0 until 3.0 is released.

I just spent the better part of 15 minutes thumbing thru the file directory looking for the "navigatemap_800_480.ui" file. Can anyone give a quick hint where the file is located?
