Can someone load a pic of the system information that states that the WinCE version was updated? I did the WinCE update with the correct files and WinCE shows that it is still version 5.0.

I have tried updating my 7010BT, same as 700BT, with 3.0 and the WinCE update and i have not been sucessful either. The unit hangs on the splash screen. My system info reads 5.0 as well. When I did the WinCE update I got a checksum but the screen said that the update went fine. Is the checksum something bad like an error or it is supposed to say that?

perfect. I was wandering back and forth between different posts to figure this out. Wish others on the forum were as considerate as you to consolidate information like this and share it.

Considering how the nicer folks of this forum have not yet answered this I venture that there it is not possible. Unless the more knowledgable members are willing to enlight us.

I have looked through Image.res and Data.zip for any files with the correct dimensions but it seems that nothing matches and works. Perhaps with the 2.0 upgrade they eliminated the code for a background picture. crilleym and ill.die.trying, It is great you contributed to this thread and tried to help fellow members of the board. Guga's thread only indicates how to change the icons on the main menu and not the background picture. I read through the whole thread from beginning to the end and saw nothing pertaining to what file correlates to the background for the main menu. If

Read the thread and you will see that this has nothing to do with the splash screen. Did you even read the thread subject? It says MENU BACKGROUND. I don't know how you confuse that with splash screen. READ the thread. That is all I am going to say. If you can't read, don't comment. Read this and stop bugging people on how to do things when it is there in black and white. viewtopic.php?f=34&t=21840&hilit=guga&start=30 Wow thanks jerk off!! That is really UNHELPFUL! It actually is not there black and white and it seems that you had to look up the guys post by his na

You didn't look hard enough. What? You need to be more specific. Are you talking about instructions or the pics?

There is a whole thread with lots of pics here. Uh, no they don't. They show a pic of what would be the background pic but not the unit working with the pic as a background. They also do not have anything to show you how to use the pic as a background.

There is always ebay, which is where I got mine.

Incorrect. The correct unit to buy is the GEXP920XM as stated in pioneer's website http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... 00BT?tab=C

Im kind of wondering the same thing. if the F90 is going to be the same as the X after the 3.0 then I might as well get the F90 now and wait for 3.0. The only thing is the 3.0update is going to cost around 130 and I don't know if the X's price will be hiked 130$ more than the F's current $600 cost. If it is then its equal so either way is fine, but if it ends up that the X costs the same as the F does now but including the 3.0 then i'll have wasted the money on an update for no reason. Still waiting to see if anyone knows anything about the prices that will come out. A shop is going to c

So is 3.0 going to be making any siginificant performance improvements? I think our common complaint of the F series has been lag and boot times. It seems that 3.0 is more of a cosmetic improvement to the system or am I off base here?

There are several hackers out there who are eagerly anticipating the 3.0 files to see how that one will bypass the lock-out in 2.007, so I am sure somebody will come up with a way to enter WinCE even with 3.0 I hope so. I'm not getting 3.0 if there is no WinCE access.

Jason, did you find out how the update is going to be sold and distributed? Also, does it look like we can still mod the software?

no, check a couple post up Not seeing anything? No, it's SD only. How did you miss that?

Now that we know we have to buy this, where are we supposed to get it? It does not seem like Pioneer has it available directly through them so are we going to have to get it via dealer networks? I think someone needs to get a hold of this and find out what kind or room we have with modding and what exactly has gotten better. It would suck if testmode, ie mods, are no more with 3.0

Where do we sign up for that group buy?

I would like to know this as well. Has anyone been able to figure this out? Thanks.

I think the installation manual states that you need to keep the magnetic metal plate and use that for any installs inside the car. I have my antenna in the center of my dash all the way up towards the windshield and I have no problems.

I bought mine at soundfactorypro.com It was cheaper when I got it but it is at $549 right now. They were pretty good. Not the greatest at communication. Also, they are not an authorized dealer so warranty is null.

Nevermind. Found the answer.

Hello all. I just finished installing the F700BT and have a problem getting to the mute options in the "AV settings". I did dpdurst's mod which had the software mod for the navigation bypass. The mute wire is not hooked up to anything, I have it wrapped around the AV preouts and inputs. Is this supposed to be hooked up to something to gain the ability to select how I want the unit to do its muting? I want to disable the muting but the button to do it is greyed out. I was going to try a search but wasn't sure what parameters to use. Thanks.

Thanks dpburst. I fixed it and it was the parking brake lead. I have another question for you. After installing the unit and all, I noticed that I no longer have the option to change the mute settings for when the navigation kicks in ie change the unit to go from full mute, to att, to disable in the "AV settings" sections. The button is greyed out. Is this part of your mod? I ask cause I want to disable to mute. Thanks. Nope not part of my mod. My mode only changes how the main navigate screen looks/operates and nothing more than that Thanks. I will post in the troubleshooting sec
