So tu full F500bt update I need flash WINCE, replace APL and APL2(from f900 3.0) ?

When you use format option to update Wince, internal flash gets formated and you lose everything, not just APL and APL2. Backup the whole flash disk and then copy it back (assuming you are at 3.0 already).

I updated wince using service menu successfully but I still see Version 2.006000.

 

Am I doing something wrong?

I had to use the choice with Format option.

MAKE SURE THAT YOU BACKUP EVERYTHING FROM THE INTERNAL MEMORY CARD.

Thank you,

MAP version: 02.000400

Version: 3.010100

Great Mods Diaftia,

Did you consider placing music controls on the main Maps page?

It would be very useful to move to the next song without pressing many buttons while driving.

Thank you.

When I followed these steps, I lost TTS. I was able to get it back.

Instead of deleting APL2 folder in step 3, I kept it.

I deleted VBT folder from the APL2 folder on the original X910 files.

I deleted ScanSoft folder from the APL2/iGo on the original X910 files.

I copied an APL2 folder onto the APL2 folder on the F500BT, replacing all the files with the same name.

ALWAYS make a backup before you proceed with MOD!!!

1) Upgrade to the latest version 2.00600 for US users or 2.00700 for Europe users. (If don't know how to do this, please go to pioneer site to download the firmware upgrade and read the instruction.)

2) download the 3.0 dump posted on the thread: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25751, that downloads comes with TA 2008Q4 maps.

3) DELETE the APL2 folder from the "My Flash Drive" and replace it with the one from above download. (make sure you update the sys.txt to set the device type to "PIONEER749UC" for US users.

4) Replace the ezrider.exe 3.0 with the hacked version under /APL2/IGO folder

5) Copy the generic word license to the license folder.

I got 2.006 loaded but it wont drop the please wait loadingsystem message. any thought?

I had the same issue.

You need to leave original license file from X image in the license directory and add the world license. The message will go away.

On the Map screen in the lower left corner above the street name sign there are 3 info boxes: Arrival Time, Distance to Via Point, and Elevation. In original Pioneer functionality the first 2 info boxes could be changed in the Settings, Navi Sattings, Map Visual Settings, Displayed Info. They are fixed now, and cannot be changed?

If functionality cannot be changed easily, can you change the (Distance to Via point) to (Distance to destination)?

Thank you.

The 2 fields on the lower left corner (distance to Via point, and time to destination) appear to be fixed. When I change in the menu to different choices, nothing happends.

How do I change these fields.

With the new version, the demo mode stop button is now in the middle of the screen. Is this by design?

With the new hacked EZRIDED all the maps work, not just the base map. Follow instruction in this thread and you can update to 3.

Installed the mods on the F500.

 

Is it possible to change the speed and speed limit signs to a different location, so they would not interfere with the highway signs?

 

Thank you.

 

The signs are so big that is just about impossible. Lower left is the iPod logo when connected... along the bottom is the street info. Left side is the menu and navigation info. Nothing left.

If there is no room to move the speed signs, can we scale down the traffic signs?

Or can we limit how far the traffic signs go to the left, so they would not interfere with the speed signs?

Yeek,

I also tried it and recieved the same bug results on the F500BT.

When you start and boot with SD card, everything is OK.

It even gave me same symptom when I took out the SD card.

We are probably missing an updated file in the APL directory.

TTS announces street names. Without TTS, GPS only tells you to turn right or left without the street names.

I followed the info and updated (including the new EZRIDER).

I have one issue: TTS stopped working. Samantha does not play. Jason without TTS works.

Please verify if you have the same issue.
