it's getting almost impossible to get any file around here... my f700bt keeps rebooting, so I thought, alright, why not updating it since I last updated it with 3.1x (from what I recall), and newer maps are long overdue...

well... almost everyfil I try to download doesn't exist anymore. found  my old file via torrent, and have it now, but why not upgrade!?

anyone? a simple easy to use file would be greatly appreciated, with newest maps! willing to pay if no good samaritan pops up

otherwise, is the pioneer OEM upgrade worth it? I love having my hacked unit as changing destinations etc while driving is A LOT BETTER than having to stop etc... waiting for reply

still looking, need the latest with the hacks right.

maybe we should make this thread into a clean one? not a seven page thread with stuff from 2009?

Title pretty much says it all, I already know how to do the upgrades, etc. I have the handbrake hack on wire and the speed on software. 

anyone? anywhere to look? tried torrent sites, saw a few software, but remember here a while back that some of them were useless...

where to look at least?

thanks guys!

Worked flawless! what I would suggest is to delete everything in the flash disk in the windows ce part, BEFORE you copy your files, delete every file. after that, don,t copy the folder my flash disk, copy the files in that folder to the flash disk of the radio.

so I was looking for exactly what you guys are talking about!

except all I want is the gauges, no fancy controlled retune programs

instead of buying 3-4 gauges to know what is happening, I could just pop the gauge up on my unit, it would be awsome and I could save a lot of $$$!!!

the ecu can tell you how much gas is left, how much you are consuming etc... I wanted to buy a cluster which had that option (without the gauge boost, air/fuel, oil, etc...) in europe for tdi's but it looks like a pain in the A$$ to wire and get to function properly, without even counting the fact that it costs a lot...

so what is the news? could it be possible? I am sure it could... If we can make our laptops read anything on our cars using an obII - usb cable, i am sure our unit could read it, also via usb

VW owners here all know of the vag-com program which does wonders! but I would like to leave the laptop at home and just use the unit! make some app in it etc...

I am sure it's doable... anyone here has any news?

easy, I have found a software called ultimate video converter if my memory serves me well, it has every possible conversion and you can put the videos in 640x480 formats

but as for the size, do not worry, the unit will automatically re-scale

the format the unit reads well is mp4

It would be an awsome option!

still have the 2.0 update, so I guess I am in the clear compared with the 3.0 which I think is unhackable??

anyway, waiting for replies from the tech gurus here!

It's been a while since i came here and just wanted to know if there was a new version as some new streets are not on my current maps...

I have a f700bt with versio 2.0 and the unit works PERFECTLY!

for some reason, my load time is not nearly as slow as my friend's f700bt, it load in less than 3 seconds, other than that, all my hacks work well etc... I never have any issue with it, movies load super fast on the sd card (not so much on usb though...) but can only read avi for now... at least I think... anyway won't support mp4's etc.. but no biggie

I have looked and read and from what I can gather from all the posts about the new 3.0 update is that... it has tons of problems! I have absolutely no problem with my unit and would really hate for it to freeze up because I wanted some new streets on the map and possibly have more options...

I have NO CLUE what new features the 3.0 has... I know somethings are faster, etc... but are they worth it???

why did pioneer send the 2.0 update free of charge and now charges for the 3.0? will it be free in like 6 months or something?

anyway, would like more info!!! thank you!

anybody had that happen tonight?

was all good, then all of a sudden, no more map... so I went on the navi setup and the radio couldn't find any sat...

hardware wasn't touched... common issue?

thankx!

nm, found it, it was on hack's faqs...

when i go into testmode though, I can change wtv I need from there?

or do I need the new data.zip file?

either I'm blind or I do not have the same FAQs as you do!

this is the first question I have when I go to ther FAQs "Q. I just installed my F-Series and the phone and navigation menus are gray and not selectable "

how does that help me?

is there another faqs section?

thanks guys!

basic 100$ radio's have this feature, where you can see what is playing on the radio, for example, if you got some song from foo fighters on the radio it will scrool saying

mix 96, foo fighters, xsong, album, year, wtv info!

how come this huge unit doesn't have that feature?

that's 17 pages! I'm sure someone could get the right info pretty fast on this thread, since I am pretty sure a lot of ppl would be interested in knowing!

from what I understand after reading much of it, is that the fastest way to do it is to do the 16 steps???

doesn't seem fast or simple at all!!!

same here!!

I'd like to know that too...

usb

I ment to go back to the previous software version, so that I can update it with the newer version with a modfied value for the speed hack to watch videos while driving...

there seems to be no easy way to do it... I just want to put the value... it seems to be very hard!!?

why? what formats does it read then?

I have a F700BT

I have a nokia N82 from europe, for some reason, it will not access my contact list

how am I supposed to enter contacts manually, it seams there is no such option!?!?

F700BT

is there no easy way to reset the unit?

also, when i play a video with the usb, I have no image, just sound.. why?

thank you|

F700bt

I think what he is asking is how does he get to the files......and that my friend does not work like a simple update. You need to download the testmode files on this site... do a search and you should find it.......this puts your unit into windows mode if I am correct. I have not done any mods or hacks yet, but from reading this site from top to bottom, thats the way you do it.

yes, that is what I was asking.

crap...

so there is no way to update to an earlier version, then re-update to the newer version?

this seams very complicated

and yes, I have a strong inner-love

well I got the hardware hack for the hand brake, and just put the software in my sd card, but the avic unit will not update again!

how can i make it take the new file?

I hope I don't have to go through the whole process of backing up the igo file and stuff like it says on that other thread!!!

there must be an easier solution! It's a simple little change

hoping for some easy trick!

thanks S4!

I don't have a cabrio

although I do have an S2000

thanks a bunch guys!

first off I don't have a cabrio, I put a nickname I have on another forum, anyway long story short, I have a jetta mk4

thanks or the links, the hardware mod, I will not do, it took way too much effort to put the radio in, I will certainly not take it out again

the software mod iI just do not understand! I read the pages,I just cannot find that damn data.zip file!!! is it for the 2.0 update? where do I find it?
