Tried that. The MyFolder on my hd is corrupt, that is why I need to re-format the hd and reinstall the OS

My hard drive on my 700bt is corrupt. I need to format the hd and re-install the O.S. and then the navigation application. Any help on how to do this would be appreciated.

I have a 700BT. Starting last night, the machine boots when I turn on my car as normal. But when it goes from the Pioneer boot screen to any other screen(map, radio,settings) it shuts down. Absolutely nothing. I hit the reset button, and the same thing happens. I see the Pioneer boot screen, then the machine shuts down.

ok, thanks.

I copied only the data.zip file, and my system continually rebooted. Any idea why, or how to fix it?

Why is it the brake setting is set to 16, instead of the 256 requested by many. For some reason, every time I make a change, my system does notting but reboot, so I must leave the data.zip file as I get it.

Keeper, I tried to change the brake speed as you suggest, but once again, all my system ever does is reboot. Can you please add the 256 to your pioneer.ini file.

That is not how I was doing it, but I guess that is how I will try it now. Thanks

I have tried a number of times to change the ini file so the brake stays off, (256 instead of 16), but I must be zipping it wit h incorrect settings on 7zip, because when after I copy the zip file, my gps keeps rebooting. What are the correct 7zip settings?

I like the Mod, but the brake speed msg drives me crazy. Can you change the speed in the ini file to 256, so it does not disable the mod when driving please?.

Yet, in driving on a the highway in Toronto, the speed warning was running

I just checked the Canadian site. the update to 3.0 is still not available to order or pre-order.

I received the following email from Pioneer Canada today, regarding this issue. Firmware 3.0 will be available for sale on our webstore in late July/early August. Regards, Pioneer Electronics of Canada, Inc. 300 Allstate Parkway Markham, Ontario L3R 0P2 webhelp@pioneerelectronics.ca

I disagree that all the items are working as advertised. I cannot say "call home" and have my home phone dialed. The only time I find the "call" feature works, is if I say the number

I paid 499 for mine form Future shop

I doubt they have respect for this place. my "Lack of customer service" guy today was not happy when I told him I knew about ver 3.0 release from. That is pretty much when his indignation came across with "I suggest you use your 30 money back guarantee"

hhhmmm, that's weird Life is wierd

I just got off the phone with "lack of customer service" for Pioneer Canada. Confirming the ver 3.0 will be out within 1 month. He did not know the cost, but did confirm that the firmware and new maps would be combined. I complained about the Blue tooth calling never working, and buying a unit in 2009(may28th) with maps for 2007. His reply , use my 30 day return policy.

Sorry for your accident. I found out why my system keeps rebooting with your mod. It doesnt like when I 7zip the file after I change the parking brake line in the ini file to256(0r 128).

It is also just as possible that with the upgrade AVIC will brew coffee for you... What if we booted in testmode, but had the updates on a USB thumb drive?

Is there any way to get the MSN software to run on the F700BT system? Reading about the firmware 3.0 upgrade, and the improvements to MSN, I now have an interest in using it.

I downloaded and followed you instructions to the letter. My 700bt keeps rebooting. Any ideas?

where are you (country, city)?

Since it is running a version of wince, I don't think testmode is really "broken", but modified. My guess is that like going from xp to vista, it uses a different boottrack. So after 3.0 is out for a short time, the brilliant people here(leeder, boris, etc) will find a way to dump the new bootloader and create a new "testmode"

Thanks for the answers regarding rezipping. 1 last question, in using 7zip, I notice it has multiple formats(I am using 7zip, normal) is that correct? Thanks, I will re7zip this afternoon, and test it after work.
