Agent Jones Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Are there any differences between the 3.0 update from pioneer and the one available online to download? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bloodninja Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Are there any differences between the 3.0 update from pioneer and the one available online to download? Yes. One is free, one isn't. One is like 4 gigs in size, the other is 300 megs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeffricks2051 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Woo hoo! I got my F90BT REFURB last night and it was installed, with all the updates by 3 PM today. *installed stereo (mute wire, and speed wire were ignored, but grounded handbrake to body frame) *Freshly Booted up the Stereo and Immediately COPIED MY Flash Disk to an SD Card so I have *MY* Original <<---smart *did WINCE update *did 3.0 update *did DATA file copyover (speed hack) *did the 3.0101 pioneer update *COPIED the Flash Disk to an SD Card AFTER ALL OF THE INSTALLS <<---smart *Archived all the files used today on an 8 gig sd card <<---smart Everything is mostly good. I do get a 'handbrake wire is installed improperly' message. My only understanding is the handbrake is to be grounded. I grounded the negetive stereo wire, and the handbrake wire both to to the car's frame. I just left the black wire on the car side of the harness attached to nothing. Is this right? I guess I'll go back and read for hour(s) but I'm thinking I'll find I did it right so I'm perplexed. I finally have an F-Series!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phaselocd Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Did the WinCE update with no errors at all on my F700. Reset with the same SD card and boot into testmode BUT it exits windows after about 6 seconds and the screen goes black. During those few seconds it works fine though. at this point the unit is useless it goes black after the pioneer bootup, did I brick this thing ? PLEASE HELP ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, I downloaded the files from the link in the install guide (not the torrent) loaded the CE update - successful reboot and copy over the "My Flash Disk" reboot again, the "Pioneer" boot screen comes up for about 10 seconds, then all goes black... I tried using the 3.1 update from Pioneer, but it does not work either, it just goes black screen again. Anyone know how to fix this ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I copied the "My Flash Disk" folder into the "My Flash Disk" folder. Of course this will NEVER WORK!, you need to copy the contents of the "My Flash Disk" into the one on the F700 !. What threw me off was that, that folder has a different icon instead of a regular folder symbol. Dumb as that sounds, it's what happened. I also installed the 3.1 update from the Pioneer website, worked without a hitch. Further note, I had all the files on 1 8GB SD card (SDHC), no need for multiple cards. The pioneer update needs to be on it's own card though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a 8GB SDHC also so I want to put everything in one card to minimize hassle. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sacking23 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 What am I doing wrong? Everything seemed to work fine but... My splashscreen loads and my music plays but my actual nav just gets stuck in the system loading screen. So frustrating! I don't know if it makes a difference but all of the files were downloaded to a mac then transferred to my SD card. Don't know if there is any mac conflicts with these files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. How do I get this thing to work? I am going to have to start from scratch? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
