Well, you are in luck...

I noticed that a lot of folks jump this rather critical step in hacking their AVIC. There are several threads on here where you can find them, but some require you to register on the site (and pay for it in some cases) in order to get the files in a timely fashion.

I have a hosted account with unlimited bandwidth, so I've decided to help out.

You will find the F90BT files in RAR format (big thanks to Minifreezer). If you have files to other AVIC units, please contact me and I will upload them there for anyone that needs them. I am not sure how fast (or slow) this will be, but like I said it is unlimited bandwidth so they'll be there indefinitely.

Thanks bro, this helps many of us out! Should probably be a sticky and/or included in the wiki! Still no excuse for those to not backup their own info but a priceless download here for those who didnt backup and now fu$ked up their unit.

Man thanks for postiing the files. I put mine on rapidshare only because someone needed them and that was the only way at the time i could make the files available. I have not check out the link yet but if you want me to instead of haveing multible rar files i can make it one big file and upload it to you if that would be easier for everyone.

No problem guys! Another member on here has offered to upload the F900BT OS, so there is a folder on there for that as well that will have that. I'll host any AVIC OS on there, or even any hacks that someone makes.

I figure that some guys might back up their systems, but sometimes things get lost. It happens, and it would suck to have to go back to Pioneer in order to have your unit fixed. This board is an invaluable resource to those that have an AVIC and want more out of the unit.

Minifreezer - You should be able to upload right to that folder. If you can't, let me know.

Thank you VERY MUCH!!

[GeoGTO]

No problem! I have a couple of people volunteering to upload the F900BT and F700BT collections, so that should be up there soon as well.

[GeoGTO]

Huge thanks to Doogie for the F900BT files, and to dk421 for the F700BT files. You can now get all three of these from the site listed in the first post. No need to register or anything; just login and download.

Can anyone add F500BT?

[tk421]

The f700bt is up. 17 100MB zip files. Was the 1.xx firmware at the time. Hope it's usefull

Thank you for hosting it.

I have never used winrar. Is that the easiest tool or is there a better/easier one?

[GeoGTO]

The RAR compression system is nice because it allows for separate files instead of one large file. Downloading the files individually is nice in case the download fails you don't need to grab the whole thing again; just the piece you didn't get.

When you decompress it, it will decompress it in sequence automatically giving you the files and folders just like when they were compressed.

This working for everyone?

Thanks for sharing those images!

I was able to download the F700 image and extract it fine (I haven't installed my deck into my car yet, so I can't do my own backup).

I was following the OS Emulation tutorial in the AVICWiki and when I select "Navi", a blank window comes up with the words "NaviMain" on it and nothing else. When I click on "MainMenu" and go to "Destination", it just hangs there after I press "OK". I'm not sure if that's result of a bad image or if I've configured the emulator incorrectly.

You can try the F90BT backup to see if it is corrupted files. I know for a fact the 90 backup files are good (had to use them )

It seems as if the f700 files are no longer there - wondering if they are still on the server or if I should re upload them?
