carlsbad0331 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Stolen from someone wiser than I... 1 - unzip the contents of that attachment 2 - Put the two folders contained in that attachment on an SD card. 3 - Put the SD card in the F-series and turn it on 4 - Once it has finished the "copying" close the copying window by clicking the X 5 - You have now booted the unit to windows mode. Enjoy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rcxracing Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 i did all that. it does not even copyand i don't even get an x, it boots up like normal and goes to sirius or whatever was last on, its like it does not see the sd card but i can put a splash pic on with no problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arbies Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Is you card SD or SDHC? I don't believe the F series will read the SDHC cards. Try putting music or a picture in the card boot normally and access the file from within pioneers os. If you cant its a compatibility issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andrios Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I have a 8gb sdhc card and my f90bt reads it perfect. Reformat your SD card ( right click, format in my computer) Unzip files to desktop first! Transfer the "Testmode Folder" and the "MITICAP Folder" to the SD card. Place sd card in your avic and turn key to on, it should work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rcxracing Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 ok the mapdbinfo cannot be copied to sd card that is what vista says and that was on the testmode folder the metacap went to sd fine so i clicked ok on pc . i also downloaded winrar and it did the samething. i guess i have a crappy sd card and the card is lexar 512MB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Borrow or buy a new SD (I'm using Kingston 4GB SDHC) and retry 2. Post your city and hope someone on the board can meet up with you. 3. Enable Remote Desktop on WinCE and use the USB WiFi so an advanced user can review your steps (no- this is not possible for several reasons both hardware and software related- but would be really cool.)

gouda272 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I think the first time i tried testmode i had the same problem and i was using a 512 card as well. i am pretty sure i reformatted using just "FAT" and then it worked. i have sinced used a 16 gig card fat32 and that works fine as well.

rchapoteau Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Are you fully turning on your car and starting the engine, or are you just turning the key to give your car juice? If you start the engine it won't work. You are just supposed to give it power. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
