I second that!

I was asking if that's the version included or a newer/older one?

Which TA maps are included with this update? Not the Map version 3.000 but the Data version like 2009Q4 etc?

I managed to get around the US calling restriction by placing the call through Skype. I gave them an american address, as I live close enough to the border I can just take a quick drive to pick up the card when it comes in. Also, when I called the Canadian order desk, the guy working there had no idea what it was or how much it would cost - and I'm guessing the price might even be more for Canadians given the exchange rate.

Found a way for Canadians to get through... Use Skype and call the US 1-866 number! I just placed an order (had it shipped to a receiver in the states which I use) I got a conf#, but haven't received the email yet. Hoping for a surprise next month in the mail

Ok, just got off the phone with the Canadian order desk (1-866-562-7093). CNSD-100FM shows up in their system (as they share the same inventory system as the US). The order desk guy checked and said that it's not currently available to order in Canada, and he doesn't know when....

Anyone want to place an order for a fellow Canadian (I have a US shipping address)? I tried calling the 1-866-214-1310 number, but it's not accessible for Canadians (strange since it's listed on the pioneerelectronics.ca website...) I can paypal the total.

i just noticed that only one file per folder show on my unit, when i did the 32K mod, any ideas? I didn't have any problem... Perhaps try it again? One more thing, FAT32 has a maximum limit of 32GB for a partition (if I recall correctly) - if you go over that size, there are no guarantees that the drive will store/retrieve files in a stable manner. I don't believe that the Avic will read larger file systems easily - as it appears to be based on the CE 5.0 core.

In a FAT32 file system, the allocation unit (or cluster size) is the smallest block that a piece of data can occupy. For example, with a 64K allocation unit size if you store an 8K text file, there will be 56K of wasted space. On Windows machines, the OS automatically selects the allocation unit size (between 4K - 64K) based on the disk size, to attempt to balance between wasted slack space and keeping the FAT small. Windows CE has some limitations with allocation unit size (too small or too large - 32K is the largest, and it won't necessarily recognize the files stored on a device) i

Actually, I just tried it again but with my Kingston 8GB today at work (it worked too). For those of you who aren't using Vista, if Windows XP won't let you select the allocation unit size - type this in your command prompt: >format /FS:FAT32 /A:32K /Q

Not sure if this has been posted before - I found out one way to make my USB flash drive to stay recognized when starting up the unit. I did this on my Corsair Voyager 8GB drive, it's actually quite simple. I reformatted the USB drive with a cluster size of 32K, and that did it. My F700 takes about a minute from turning on the car to playing off the USB drive now, but at least I don't have to reach over to the glove box and unplug the stick anymore! An attachment is posted with a screenshot of how to do this.
