cacab Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Confirmed working on stock EU version of F910BT(3.01) Used value of 160.0 and wiring is standard (SpeedSense and handbrake cable connected as per stock install). Handbrake no longer kills video or navigation functions. Many thanks for this mod. Realize that this value is not in MPH so you may want to set the value a little higher. Believe me, 160 km/h is not slow. I wouldn't dare looking at the Pioneer at that speed too often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeffricks2051 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 160 km/hour is 99.41939 miles/hour so there shouldn't be too much problem. On the other hand, if the one time you were really really in a hurry it would suck to watch your gps lock up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimboZero Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 To be blunt , the GPS and video features get disabled when moving for a reason. Whilst it is annoying and any sensible person can still use these features when moving , doing so at over 100mph is a tad risky Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rav4jo Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 OK, this is probably a ridiculous noob question but here goes- I feel pretty comfortable doing other mods but for some reason this software bypass is giving me trouble. I've successfully changed my image.res (props to the Apple Theme!) but can't locate the file to change the speed setting. It seems I don't have a data.zip folder. On the unit (F700-bt), I have a data folder but can't find data.zip... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On the unit (F700-bt), I have a data folder but can't find data.zip... I have the exact same issue... when i had the 2.0 running on my f700bt I was able to get into the win ce but no data.zip folder exited in there.... so now I went ahead and installed the 2.06 update and now i cant get into win ce via the testmode files i had before. can someone please give me a link to working testmode files for thE US/CAN units that will let me get into win ce on 2.06 update please... i looked around and couldn't find any!

pioneerfan86 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 okay disregard message above.... i figured it out.... i have successfully updated to 2.06, entered win ce and bypassed the video and navigation! yay! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeffricks2051 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I did the software bypass, and grounded my parking brake wire to the frame of the car where there is contact, but my stereo complains that the parking brake wire isn't installed correctly (or something to that effect). What am I doing wrong, and does it have something to do with the softmod, or is it an independent problem? Also, I used the data file that someone else made. It puts the value at "256.0" I was surprised to see the ".0" at the end. Is this correct? btw, if this is a binary thing, 255 would be a much better choice because 256 takes two bytes. 255 is the biggest number that fits in one byte, so if there is only 1 byte allocated for the number, it could exceed the limit and change a byte somewhere else in the program. *note: I don't know if this number even has to be binary-friendly in the first place.

It's a nice floating point number, as far as anybody knows. It is usually entered as 256.0 because original Pioneer data has it at 16.0 and people, historically, would put other powers of 2 in there... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeffricks2051 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 what about the handbrake wire part of my question? If I have the handbrake wire comming from the stereo's side grounded to the car's frame, and the speed hack DATA file in place, is there anything else I need to do?

jeffricks2051 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Do I have to edit the DATA file myself (does my file have some kind of unique number (doubt it )) or can I use one that anyone prepared? the 'noob' a few pages ago whom put the the install procedure (with his footnotes) included a DATA file in his procedure. I used that DATA file. It says 128.0 inside it, but maybe he did it wrong. My symptoms are: complains about brake wire not being installed correctly after a certain speed, and disabling video, and gps text input. I have the brake wire grounded. I have the file in place (but it might be an improperly edited one). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Civicta Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I have downloaded all the files required and even changed the .ini file. I have already updated my avicf900bt to the 2.006. I cannot get my unit to boot up into Win CE mode so that I made update my modded data.zip file. Can anyone please help me. Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
batman6 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 After much searching and reading for countless hours I finally by passed the software unit for my F700bt. A bit confusing (and not to mention the constant bumping of posts by ppl), thanks to avic 411 for helping me out. I love the unit more now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ellisb Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I have purchased and installed the 3.1 upgrade from Pioneer. Now my software bypass is no longer working. I have started going through the two SD cards and there are 3 data.zip files. Does anyone know which to use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
