I tried without parking brake bypass. The static noise is still there. I think I might have faulty unit. Uhmmm... I think I will drop by the store ask for replacement.

You need to upgrade APL folder. Once you replace APL folder from x910bt dump, you will have updated firmware information. Also, you could upgrade APL folder to one from EU's firmware version 3.020200. http://www.pioneer.eu/files/support/avi ... 020200.zip

I think I found it from Russian website (I love google!!) http://translate.google.com/translate?h ... ic%3D11171 http://www.rapidshare.ru/1206567 I haven't had chance to try it out yet. My daugther isn't sleeping yet.... can't wait to try it out on F500BT.

I think, the track loging will require SD card. Try it with SD card inserted in detachable unit. What I found is that the U310BT doesn't save any custom (POI, and etc) in built-in flash other than user settings.

Everything is in the manual page 106.. You need to turn off the radio (by pressing SRC button). And then press and hold center multi-direction button. There's all your options regarding initial setup. Sound option, you can get to them by pressing and holding center button while music is playing.

I tried out U310BT unit on my Jag last night. Everything seem to work fine. I used harness kit, and antenna kit for the wirings. I was pretty impressed with Pioneer sound quality compare to the factory radio. One thing that bothered me. Whenever I press hard key or touch-screen key, I hear the noise from the speakers. When there's music playing (mp3, cd or radio), it's very hard to notice. But when it isn't, you can hear the static noise. I did hard-wire by-pass for hand-brake. Would it create the noise? possible grounding issue? I guess I could disconnect hand-brake wire but

Is anyone know if Pioneer will release new updated map for U310BT unit anytime soon? It doesn't have roads near my area. The 2009.06 TA map for F-series unit has all updated map.

I'd like to get hold of PLT(winceimg) and APL dump for F500BT as well. Could someone upload a copy?

I'm debating that as well. However, if it's anything like F-series POI, it may be worth it. The F-series 12 million POI really contains a lot.

I am assuming that you have F500BT. You need to increase the volume from Navi Setup menu. Increase to maximum output. This should do it.

Use the testmode.

torres1708, Did you get my PM? Could I get a copy of first SD card (firmware)?

Please read the first post.

Please make sure you're running testmode v2.3. Older version doesn't work with firmware v3.

viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25838&start=105#p198632 iGO 8.3 map does not work with iGO 8. The firmware 2 runs iGO8 which means, you cannot just upgrade the map data. You need to upgrade iGO application altogether (replacing APL2 folder). Btw, I'm in Canada as well.

I really wanted to try out all the features. But I can't do anything as I'm waiting for the installation parts ARGH!!!!

a little bit more detail would be good. Which folder? \Windows\Fonts? etc... Thanks,

How did you add the asian fonts on F700BT?

Is IR cameras from ebay (under $20) really that bad? http://cgi.ebay.com/Wide-Angle-Car-Rear ... 20a9fd6466

diaftia, I found a bug on digital dial screen. When the distance to next turn is less than km, the text overlaps or displays outside of the box. I will take a picture when I get home.

MyITGuy posted another package at megaupload. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=K0WJSCUR http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XDPTH67G Last time I checked, it's still working.

The linked threads have all the details how to upgrade iGO app & map.

I don't think it's possible. I believe the second SD card contains the new iGO app (v8.3) and new maps. They require new license to run. However, if you don't mind running "hacked" version of iGO, you could run iGO app & map from "x910bt dump" available in this forum. Please read following threads. viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25838&start=45#p184341 viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25751&start=585#p203900

I didn't work.. I used AVIC-F500BT winceimg from EU version of 3.020200. I checked the winceimg, it was identical to f700/900. http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/content/suppo ... 700BT.html If anyone knows how to make it work, please let me know. When I upgraded winceimg, it kept the custom splash screen. I'm guessing it did't wipe boot drive.

I have US/Canadian F500BT unit. Is it possile to use EU firmware? I will be using iGO app from x910bt dump. Did anyone try this? If not, I guess I will test it out when I get home.
