Did you say "Call" followed by the name of the contact, then "Home", "Mobile" or "Work"?
-
Yes, the audio will work. Haven't tried video yet.
-
It works when I deleted all but one folder, but it's pretty slow.

What is the largest size usb stick I can use on this headunit? I reciently had my ipod stolen out of my car, so I decided to just buy a 64gb stick for $35 because it's a lot cheaper than replacing the ipod.
I copied about 50gb of music onto the stick but when I plug it in the head unit just hangs until I remove the stick. If I restart the head unit with the stick still attached it just displays the message: system startup in progress, please wait.
The light on the stick flashes the whole time so it seems like it is reading from the drive, but I've left it for at least 15min while driving and it didn't complete indexing the drive or whatever it was doing.
So I'm starting to think that there are too many files or directorys for the head unit to handle. there are about 8000 songs and 700 artists each with it's own directory. I suspect that if I leave it on long enough it will eventually load, but I haven't tried. If so, would it save the directory information or would it have to do the loading process each time?

I have been having issues with the GPS not getting a signal. I ended up putting the GPS antenna on the roof which helped, but it has still been losing signal. The GPS signal indicator shows no bars. Not sure what's wrong.

This would be great if possible.
-
YAY! I'm glad I could help!
-
Yes. The firmware update requires a unique code from Pioneer.
-
I am attaching only the files which have been changed in this update. Most of the files are unchanged. THIS IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE ALREADY USING VERSION 2.0000!!!
Make sure you make a backup of the contents of the original SD card first, then unzip the files I've attached and overwrite the older files on the SD card.
When you put the new SD card in it should ask if you would like it update. It should not ask you for the activation key this time.
After updating you should now be able to use the additional POIs from Pioneer's site and use the key that came with your update to enable them.
Please note, I have no way of knowing if this will work, so try this at your own risk.

Ok, so I was finally able to get Pioneer to replace the map update with a new one. If anyone wants the update let me know.
-
I am interested as well, but does anyone know what has changed? I don't think I'll bother if it doesn't actually fix anything.
-
Didn't brick my unit or anything, but also did not fix the intermittent connection issues I've been having.
-
Looks interesting. Hope you get it figured out.
-
That is, if someone is willing to help us all out.
-
Hopefully we can find someone willing to do it. Maybe send one of us it burned to a disc, and we can put it on an SD card ourselves, then send the disc to the next person in this thread having a problem. I wouldn't mind doing that.
In the meantime, could one of you who have a properly working update give me the UPC that's on the box?
The UPC on my defective update is 884938121323. Also written on the box is CZH8641-A. I am trying to see if there is a way of distinguishing which of these are bad without opening them.

Well no luck with Pioneer tech support. I talked to the parts department and they connected me to navigation which told me I had to contact warranty. The warranty department said there is nothing they can do and that I have to contact navigation, so I hung up and called parts again and tried to see if there was anyway they could get me the right update.
Because I didn't buy the update through them I can't exchange it for the correct update and the lady told me that the only thing I could do is send it in for repair on my own dime. It is completely absurd that I have to send it in for repair just to get my unit updated from 2.000 to 2.001.
I've always wondered how someone could be so upset that they would never deal with a company again, but now I understand completely. This is the worst head unit pioneer has ever released, and their support is so bad I never want to deal with them again.
-
That is correct. Did not mean to be rude.
-
Which is why I said it was the wrong thing. They sent me 1.0003. I needed 2.001.
-
No it's an old update. The one before the map update.
-
Well, I got the update and it's the wrong thing. It's the same update that's on their website.
-
-
So I called Pioneer and after spending over an hour on the phone and getting shuffled from support to warranty to parts I finally got a hold of someone who could help me. The lady I talked to in their parts department said there was a problem with the update and that she would send me an update which will bring my unit to 2.0001. So if anyone else is having this problem call their parts department directly and ask for the 2.001 update.
I'll post back when I get the update.

Do you know someone with an older ipod you can try? I know the 5th gen ipods work as I have one.

Service Info Screen: Version 2.0001
One thing that may be unclear is that after you've installed the map/system update. You must go back to the Pioneer website to generate a new password based on Device ID and POI Media Number Card #
Ah ha! Mine says version 2.0000. Hopefully I can get Pioneer to send me an update from 2.0000 to 2.0001.
Just bought a F700BT

You can skip over it, but you need to do a wince upgrade and an internal flash storage format. Make sure you backup everything first!
Once you install firmware 4 you can download a torrent called "iGO US Canada Navteq 2011 Q4 (2012)". It should all fit on the flash memory. Telatlas/tomtom map data for igo will work too but the file sizes are too large so you will have to remove states you aren't planning to visit.
