vb1215 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hey guys quick question, I have the choice of buying a f90bt brand new without the 2.0 software or I could buy one with the 2.0 software. The one without it is $50 cheaper. My question is, how hard is it to install the software and it it worth the $50. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vb1215 Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 let me modify it, because some people might take it the wrong way. I know I need the 2.0 software, I will get it either way. My questions is, is the install of the 2.0 software worth saving $50 or is it a hassle and should I just spend the extra 50. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Get it without the 2.0 and goto www.Pioneerelectronics.com to download the update and instructions. It's so easy, a caveman could do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vb1215 Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 OK and by me doing it myself, it is just as equal as the update coming with it right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeterUbers Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 technically, yes. However, i know some people have had issues updating the firmware to 2.0 for whatever reason ... i personally bought my unit from 6ave.com b/c they were already updated and i imagine Pioneer checks them out before shipping them to make sure the firmware was updated correctly and the unit functions ok from the factory. I'd pay the $50, but that's just me paying for a little more peace of mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ewickj Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 i just bought mine and it said that it came with 2.0 so i thought it was already loaded but when i opened it up it had a sd card that i had to load i would buy the one with out and just get the update online save 50 bucks it isnt hard to update just load sd card and turn on unit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dianebrat Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I'd save the $50 and update myself. Provided BOTH units were new and came with the Pioneer Warranty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vb1215 Posted March 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Well I ended up getting one with the 2.0 for 493 shipped...Is that a good deal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WilliamG Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Honestly, anyone who buys a unit and pays $50 extra because it came with 2.0 is.... Well... let's just say a fool and his money... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1loudls Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 It's so easy, a caveman could do it. lamo , thats the best thing ive heard yet today my 900bt had the 2.0 sticker on it, but the update was on the sd card inside the box, and i had to update it myself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
