Great Job and thanks for posting. Just woundering where the speed.bmp , your_speed.bmp and elevation.bmp are located now in your data.zip file. I would like to modify them. Thanks again

Finally my status "SHIPPED" on the web site. Sept 1/09

Phoned again today. Shipment coming in this weekend and shipping out starts next week. Wait and see I guess

I just phoned today. Same answer the last 3 weeks, I have phoned on Monday, "should be in by the end of the week for mailing".

I am tring to find the preset listings of the fm radio and Sirius,in the system file folders. So I can change the wording from Preset 1 to 80's on 8, and so on. Because it would be nice to know what stations are where in the preset list. Other than Preset 1, Preset 2, Preset 3, ect.. I tried looking in the image file but I could not find. Does anyone know where they can be found or if this can be done?

Anyone get their update mailed yet in Canada? I ordered last week and as of today status is "Awaiting shipment". Might be a while if they have to convert all the info into french and print it. Hope not.

Can anyone that has installed this update compare it to the 3.01 update. What has been added? if they are using some branded POI icons now like the Z models? Thanks

Yes I had the same problem But I used set home by map location (I think) and that way worked

The MSN files are for users that have MSN Direct. Anyone can get a free 3 month free trial. If your unit supports it. http://www.msndirect.com/ Thanks for the Mod IDT looks great. Thanks for your hard work.

A nice how to guide and what programs you use to add icons would be nice. I have tried to add icons but when I add it to the unit the unit crashes, so I load up the one I downloaded from this site. Editing the poi.icons file is no problem I think ?, but editing the .bmp files is where I think my problems are.

When the blue screen comes up you have to press the volume knob Up, Up, Down, Menu, Left, Right. to get into loading WINce. use the formate from sd card and follow the instructions. viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25817

Yes you do, but Ezrider is not hacked yet for IGO 8.3 which is part of the 3.0 to 3.01 software update from Pioneer. The old version of IGO is 8.0 which was part of pioneer's 2.0 software

Did you re-do after you updated to 3.01? because if you didn't you would have over written the files

Very pitiful of Pioneer Canada not only NOT to give a discount like the States but to charge us .28 on the dollar when it is around .05 on the dollar now. I was going to buy the update even though I have the update installed already, but now they can go SCR*W themselves. Very bad service for a product that is falling behind the competiton with a price that is outragous. If not for this forum improving the unit the way I like it, I would have sold it after a couple months of using it.

Has any one gotten the Branded icons to work with the latest system update to 3.01? Or which way of installing them. I tried installing a couple of ways (2.0 system ways) but system keeps rebooting when I install them.

Pioneer Canada's Web site just put the map and software update for the AVIC-F500BT for $150.00 CAD with no discount as of yet http://www.pioneerelectronics.ca/POCEN/ ... 150FM.Shop

the settings for the POI being transparent is in the .spr files associated with the POI .bmp file every POI .bmp file has a .spr file with it an example of a .spr file BmpFlags = 0 DefFlags = ALPHA_PIXEL | ALPHA_LAYER DefPhase = 1 Stripes = 32 DefAlpha = 22 The heading for transparency is DefAlpha change the number higher to get the image more solid

All I did was to download 3.00 from this forum download 3.01 from the pioneer web site merge (copy and replace) the 2 file coping 3.01 files to the full 3.00 file on the computer, to the proper folders copy completed files to disc with testmode load on to unit after updating Wince by formating

Thank You Very much No problems downloading now Thanks again

Reinstall WINce update by format method Reinstall My Flash Disk

How did you install? Have you Modified any files? Should be working if you updated WINce by format and copied all the 3.0 files to My Flash Disc Then copied all the 3.01 files to the proper locations.

Unzip torrent file open "IDT_v3.5" folder copy "MY Flash Disk" folder to a SD card copy testmode to SD card load SD card to unit start unit should go into test mode copy all file and folders in MY FLASH DISK from the SD card to in the "MY FLASH DISK" on the unit pull out the SD Card when coping is finished restart unit by key or reset button
