I was finally able to get my F700BT updated to 3.0. I must have gone somewhere in the service mode that I shouldn't have. I was able to successfully able to revert to 2.0 using this post: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=25465&hilit=mbr Then, following the steps outlined in this topic, I updated to 3.0. All appears to be good. A weekend of driving will tell me more. Thanks to all of those that provide support and assistance to those of us that don't have the skill set to create these mods, or encounter problems when trying to implement them. A special thanks to "another gxr 1k", w

I deleted Alaska, Hawaii, and everything west of the Mississippi. No change. I downloaded Retell's FX3.1 from a different post on the site and have the same experience. After the last restart, the unit goes to the Pioneer splash screen and sits there. I can play a cd, and control the volume, but I can't eject, or move to a different track. Anyone have any ideas on what I might try next? Bob

Just went to delete some of the map files and discovered the total file size is 1.62. So either the files were removed prior to my downloading them, or I downloaded the incorrect file set. I am using the files downloaded from the megaload site. I have encountered a new twist. When I do the four finger salute in one of the early steps, I no longer need to do the up, up, down thing to reload the Wince, it goes right to the spot where I can reload wince and format. I'll find different 3.0 files and try again.

Chuck 88, Thanks I thought I read all of the posts. I do remember reading comments regarding all files not fitting, but I assumed it was because it exceeded the 1.83GB space. Regardless, I will delete maps and POI's until I get down to the file size you identified, and try again. Thanks again

Baedarlboo, Thanks for the response. I have tried the options detailed in the guide you indicated. However, no matter what I do it always ends up the same... At the end of the process, when i restart after copying all of the files into the myflashdisk directory, the system restarts, loads the splash screen the nothing. The flash screen sits there like it's waiting for me to do something. I don't know if I'm not waiting long enough for something to happen, or is it going to remain at that screen forever. That is the basis of my post, How long should it take for the unit to be working a

I have followed this board since I purchased my F700BT last year. Until now I was content to leave the unit as Pioneer set it up. However, now I've been trying to follow the steps to install 3.0 and I have two questions. How long after I restart in the last step should it take to regain control of the unit? Will I see it doing anything while I wait? The reason I ask is I get the Pioneer start up screen, then nothing happens, and I don't see any type of install message on the screen. I ran through the process several times with the same result. Any help would be appreciated. By th
