Also this made my TTS come back even after it dissapeared from options. Hey, Great post! Before I found this post I pretty much did this entire process without backing up the IGO file mentioned in step 1. Now my unit starts up and gets stuck on the splash screen BUT after a few seconds I can click the menu button and it will go to the menu (however, there is absolultely no sound or feedback and I can't access any other menu's other than the system settings menu). If I click the map button, the navi warning pops up and the system freezes...I've tried reinstalling over and over and the update runs fine but I don't have that original IGO file. Do you have any ideas or suggestions how to get over this little hump?...I don't want to ship my unit back to pioneer Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nbdew002 Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I am compressing mine and will try to post it. However its for the F700BT so i dont know if it will change anything. I had the same problem as you unitll i did Step 1. STep one is necessary! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nbdew002 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Even after compressing the file, its 1.54gb. Dont know where or host to host it share. ANY IDEAS?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
n681ma Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Even after compressing the file, its 1.54gb. Dont know where or host to host it share. ANY IDEAS?? Hey, I found a great site at http://www.pipebytes.com It doesn't restrict uploads or downloads in terms of size but I think it may restrict the speeds. I can get a "speedpass" to increase the upload/download speed though. Let me know if you'd like to go that route... Thanks a bunch btw. I'm going nuts with no music and my radio restarting every few seconds Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alexiske Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 i have the same problem. have you managed to upload the files so i can download. thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Depending on the site that he uploads it, there may be a download limit. If there is a d/l limit, I'll rehost the file so you can grab it too. Hopefully this will fix both our problems.

nbdew002 Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I let it run on my laptop all night, yet when i woke up a message saying time to download had expired. I will try again today. Its kinda frustrating me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its kinda frustrating me. oh! lol, once you select the file and click send file it gives you a code or URL that u can post or PM me with. If u send me that I can D/L the file as you upload it which will probably take some time anyway. That's why the d/l time expired. Sorry for not pointing that out earlier Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nbdew002 Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I only tried the URL method. Another user wants me to delete everything but the content folder???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
n681ma Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I only tried the URL method. Another user wants me to delete everything but the content folder???? You can send me the URL once you click send file. Or just just select code and send me the code...your choice. Other than that, I'm not really tech savvy. Other than the obvious decrease in file size, I don't know what benefit or drawbacks deleting the other stuff would have. I really appreciate you hanging in there and helping out with this though!

nbdew002 Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 ANy other free websites or users that are willing to pay for the service and share the info for me to host it? The above website will not load. Have tried it 3 times each way. :/ Remember the file is 1.56GB compressed, its not like a data file which is 5.6mb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nbdew002 Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Okay well another froum member n681ma offered to share his info so i could upload it. If you would like a copy please PM me or n681ma your email address and we will be able to forward it to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexiske Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 to nbdew002. you can delete the content folder which includes all the map data. then you can send us the other files in the IGO folder. this way it will be much smaller. the content subfolder conatins the maps etc, but these should be nesessary for the unit to work(obviously without maps) this way we probably might get the unit to work and then find another way to get the maps. i have the maps from another unit which probably i can try to share Quote Link to post Share on other sites
