Probably the single biggest reason the 3.0 guide is as long and disjointed as it is is because people constantly demand enlightenment without doing any work themselves, and fill up the thread with questions that they should have researched and answered themselves. If you are unable to understand the 3.0 install guide, you shouldn't mod your unit. You are destined to brick your unit and then come back here and post incessant, clueless demands for help cleaning up the mess you made through your own ignorance/laziness. A large number of modders have been driven from this forum by neverending,

So I finally had some time this weekend to take yet another swing at fixing this. Since the SDs would no longer auto update when inserted, and I didn't have a copy of the old 2.0 handy, I did the following: 1) boot into testmode using an SD card with the testmode files (search this board, there's instructions on making a 3.0 testmode). 2) Remove the SD card with the testmode files 3) Insert the SD card #2 you received with your update pack 4) Open Windows Total Commander in WinCE 5) Copy the APL2 directory from the SD Card #2 onto the same location as the APL2 file is curr

Sounds like your unit may be defaulting to the rear camera screen. Normally you'd see a warning across the top that "images may appear reversed" but maybe that warning isn't showing up for some reason. What I did was to turn on my F90BT and, while the bootup was going, repeatedly hit the menu button. It took a couple tries, but eventually my buttonpress interrupted the boot sequence and it pulled up the menu. From there, I went into settings and turned off the rear camera. I hope that helps.

Hi everyone - I've done some searching, but was unable to find some instructions on reloading the 3.0 update. Does anyone have a write-up or know a post they can link me to? My problem: I have an F90BT, and recently did the 3.0 update. Of course, all heck broke loose once I did. The MSN Direct update failed, so I had to re-do that (my method, taken from another post here, is below). I also had the problem where it was jumping into rear camera view right away, even though I don't have a camera installed. I could tell this because at the top of the screen was the message that "Warn

Hi - I have an AVIC 90BT and just did the 3.0 upgrade. I've worked through several issues and now working on this remaining issue. When the system boots up, I go to the top menu. Settings is visible as a button on the screen. When I hit it, some times it goes into the Settings top menu. Usually on the first try it will. In that menu, where I can choose Nav, System, Audio, etc., most of the time it freezes and won't register any further screen taps (no sound, no changes). Once that happens, I can sometimes hit the Menu button and get back to the top menu. Once there, I can tap pn th
