bobhope Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I think it's ridiculous that UK users are still in the dark when it comes to this firmware and map upgrade. We should of had this weeks ago. Come on pioneer and pull your finger out of your arse and get a move on with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrianF Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Have you tried asking Pioneer UK? I got my copy direct from pioneer in Slough two weeks ago, you can also ask your Pioneer dealer to get it for you Halfords UK is one wasy to get it, but it has to be ordered its not the kind of thing they keep in stock.

bobhope Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 What price did you pay?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrianF Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I didn't , after several phone calls to complain about the out of date maps(2007), sluggish key response etc and in my opinion this made it unfit for purpose (the street where the Halfords shop I bought the F900 from was not even on their map) they agreed to free issue me the ver 3 pack of two SD cards, it fixed 90% of my gripes and the others were fixed using advice and mods supplied by the good people on this site. I had previously downloaded Tomolas Ver3 and tried it out so I knew I would be happy with ver 3 and some minor mods from here, my F900 now performs like i expected it to when I bought it.

foggy Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Just been on the phone to Halfords, the update is available now. but it's £174.99, WFT It's on the UK website now, didn't think it was on there before: http://www.pioneer.co.uk/eur/products/2 ... index.html Not happy!!! The unit is only £700 on Amazon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobhope Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Right i spoke with someone in customer relations today about the price and he agreed that depending on retailer its going for £150-£175. nearly 3 times more than the deal the Americans got! Expressed politely how pissed off i am and he told me to write in and complain and i may get lucky and get it free or at a reduced price. Told him i shouldn't have to do that in the first place as it should of been priced correctly. really not happy. Another case of Brits getting screwed financially Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BrianF Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Hi Bob, Pleased to see you got a good outcome from Pioneer, the guy that dealt with mine knew the firmware was not great but put up some initial resistance, persistance pays. Cheers. Brian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
