maddog hoek Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 What are the chances that the update could be 'emulated' on a pc prior to installing it to a real unit? I thought someone around here had the AVIC software running on their pc through a wince emulator. Idunno maybe it'll help figure out if testmode is disabled on this release. Where I work going from 2.0 to 3.0 in a software revision is pretty huge. We usually see 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc. etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jwq Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I would feel a little bit better if the site said exactly what the update does. Right now it doesn't say anything. It just has a picture of two sd cards. It's possible that the firmware update is only to accommodate the new maps. Has anyone talked with Pioneer about what exactly this is? Dave On the European site it gives a little bit more info.... The SD card also contains new software features, including: • Highway signboard navigation • Improved contrast on display • Heading-up in 2D mode • Faster touch panel response http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/25/38/301/CNSD-100FM/specs.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eurotuner29 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I have and they deny any knowledge of a V3 firmware!!!! If you look at the details of the sd card for the 500 it says 3.0 firmware! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phaselocd Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Count me in for a group buy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mavrickma Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 How the heck do we get this? Why would Pioneer post it on the site and not make it available??? I would be interested in a group buy as well. Judging from the reports that Jason gave from the road show, this is going to be a very significant update and I'm hot to get it, so I may decide not to wait and just get it myself... Maybe Jason can give some insight as to how we can get it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ecpiii Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 After spending 35 minutes on hold with Pioneer support, they confirmed two things: 1) the new update contains the 3.0 firmware as well as a map update, and 2) ETA is about 4 weeks, with no explanation as to why it is on the website.

bloodninja Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 so when does the torrent come out? +1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveInNC Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 ETA is about 4 weeks, with no explanation as to why it is on the website. Somebody got ahead of themselves in the Marketing department. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecpiii Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Tell me about it. I bought the F900BT TWO FREAKING DAYS ago. How pissed am I now? Should have just waited, but I'm a bit of an impulse buyer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Should have just waited, but I'm a bit of an impulse buyer. doubtful it would have shipped with 3.0, seeing as retailers already have the product on the shelves. I just bought my F90BT 2 days ago as well. But with the money I saved on buying it ($594 from CarToys.com), I definitely am comfortable with spending $130 on a major update Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ill.die.trying Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 i would like to proceed with the group buy but the thing is were not even sure on when it would come out, so once we have a definite date then we'll go for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
