I originally installed the 3.0 update and everything was good. I tried to install someones mods and thats when I started having problems.

Now my unit will turn on to the splash screen and after about a minute or less it just shuts off completly. I have replaced all the files several times and now im stuck. I dont know whats going on....Im getting desperate and about to buy a X910bt if I cant fix this real real soon.

I have read and read and read and tried everything everyone has suggested. Is there a way someone can tell me exactly what should appear in the My Flash Disk Folder and then the sub folders? I am lost and dont know what to do.

Alright well i downloaded the single large file, unrared it to my sd card, put test mode on the sd card.

I then put it in the unit started up in testmode and began to transfer files. Most of the files are clear where they go but some of them are not. I still am having the same issues where the unit will start to the splash screen the after one minute it just shuts down and goes dark.

Please help

I have the x910bt file and I have tried to use the my flash disk from it numerous times.

Im downloading the one large file now....My unit will not start in anything but testmode right now so I hope this works.

Am i correct in what im reading that says to delete everything in My Flash Disk and then replace it with the new download?

I dont know why I didnt make a backup. I believe that i found a file on my computer that is the backup from the first time I messed with anything a few months ago. I completely deleted the my flash disk file on the unit and pasted the new one from the sd card and im still getting nothing. After I replaced the file I hit reset and pull out the sd card and the splash screen shows for a few second then the unit just shuts down. Also im getting something weird happening to the backlight on the buttons....they are flashing as its trying to start up.

I think the only backup I have is from before I started modding the unit when it was running all stock in 2.0. How do I restore all the files?

Alright here goes.

I have an F90BT that I have had since February, i modded it a little bit, had no problems until now. I installed the 3.0 Update, and the 3.01 update yesterday and had no problems at all everything worked great the first time.

Today I tried to install a bunch of mods from a post in the Hacks and Mods section for the F Series and thats where my problems began.

I installed all the files as per the instructions but nothing seemed to changed in the Navigation like it was supposed to so I went back and checked all the files were installed and everything seemed ok until I restarted the unit and it would only stay running for two minutes before restarting itself.

I messed with it for a few hours and tried to go back to just the 3.0 update and now it will only start up in testmode with the sd card inserted or without the sd card it will stay on the spash screen for a minute then shut down.

I have tried everything I know to do. I have replaced the My Flash Disk folder with the one from the 3.0 update, i have replaced the data.zip folder, i have tried everything and now im stuck with a non functioning unit.

I can however click the igo button from the APL2 folder and the nav will start up.....

Please help!

I did not back up but i tried to replace the my flash disk with the one from the 3.0 update and it seems like it goes through with the file transfer but then again it will just sit on the spash screen and then shut itself down before it ever starts.

I tried to do this mod today and really messed my F90BT up. I updated it to 3.0 and then to 3.01 yesterday with no problems at all so i thought this would be no problem at all.

I installed all the links shown in the first post of this thread but when i turned the unit back on it didnt look or perform any different except it would constantly say System Starting Please Wait and it would restart itself every two minutes.

I went back to testmode and reinstalled all the files thinking i might have missed something but nothing worked. I also went back in after that and tried to undo what I had done but now my unit will show the splash screen for two miunutes then just shuts down.

I am really really lost and worried that i messed something up permanently. Is there a way someone can send me all the original files so I can at least get the thing to come back on?

I got the 3.0 installed no prob and the only thing that i notice is that i constantly have a message saying Updating VR for ipod or something like that and it doesnt seem to be going away after a few minutes. I have restarted a few times but nothing. Any ideas?

5 Seconds is longer than it sounds, especially when you are trying to answer a call. I will try it out though see how it works.

Thanks

I am wondering if anyone knows how to mute the system? When I need to answer a call and am not using bluetooth is there a way to just hit mute rather than have to turn the volume all the way down?

When the ipod or disc is playing I know I can just hit the pause button, but when the radio is playing there is nothing that i know of that will do this.

It would be great if someone could make a hack that will get rid of the voice activation feature and allow pushing the knob to become the mute button.

Also, is it possible for when the ipod is playing that someone could make the knob able to be pushed down to pause?

I have all of that information already but I have hooked it up accordingliny and its not allowing me to program

I have been trying to get my SWI PS to work with my F90Bt in my 08 F250. I am almost certain that I have it wired correctly but it will not program. When i turn on the truck it flashes 9 times like it is supposed to but when I hit the program button it just flashes once real quick and then the light goes off before I can start hitting the steering wheel buttons.

I think my only question about the wiring is that I am supposed to ground a blue and white wire from the factory harness. Am I supposed to cut this wire and ground one end of it, or do I tap into it and run a lead to ground? I really need help here guys, i know you all have the answers....

Im in Houston Texas so its not cold but even when i listen to the ipod with headphones I never have the problem. I am going to reload all the songs anyway so hopefully that will help.

Very strange. I just have teh F90bt with no other aftermarket stereo equipment so it must be something in the pioneer

Anyone know why my ipod cuts in and out? It works fine but sometimes it will go silent for a couple second but then when the sound comes back the song has continued to play so I think its got to be something in the headunit, not the ipod.

Nevermind about my previous post. I searched and searched and then finally thought i had it figured out so i tried it and it all worked out well.

Thanks

I am so confused. I did the backup of the factory software to my sd and backed it up on my computer.

I downloaded the files from the three links and now I dont know what to do with them. Do i copy and paste them to the locations described on the sd then insert it in the vehicle? Or do i insert the card in the vehicle and then paste them?

I did use the cable that came with both the usb and rca. They are both hooked up. I did not change AV1 to say Ipod. I will go try that now. I did search for a minute and found that as well. Thanks!

I just finished hooking up my F90BT in my 08 F250. Everything went pretty smooth but I ran out of time to hook up the steering controls, and search for the VSS wire that I needed to tap into.

I finished putting the dash all back together and started playing with the unit. First thoughts were how great the screen looked. Then I made a phone call with my Blackberry on the bluetooth and wasnt overly impressed.

I used the CD player, sounded great. Then I switched to Ipod and the screen pops up and it shows all the song, album, title etc and it shows that its playing but there is no sound.

Any ideas?

Ok, in the manual it says something about it being needed for the NAV to be accurate or some BS....thanks for the help

thank you...is the reverse needed?

Former CC employee here too....

Im installing a F90BT in my 08 F250 tommorow. Need the VSS and Reverse Signal wire color and locations.

Thanks
