How to: Update to 3.01 from nonofficial 3.0

[stereoavic]

Hi I am new to this site. i just bought a avic 700bt and in your earlier post you say you updated to 3.0 firmware on your 700. i know this may be stupid but was that a typo or are you running a 700bt? I only ask because the files are from a different unit. thanks in advance!

Actually guys what is the correct firmware file upgrade for the F900BT unit? The only 3.001 upgrade that I see on the Pioneer web site is for F910. I looked under F900 support page and only see 2.006 update. For the 3.001 I only see it available for F910?

Is that the same file for 900BT? Per my earlier post, the last time I tried upgrading from 3.0 to 3.001 I had some issues (see post on first page) of unit beeing stock at 100% complete during the install of 3.001 and than after I reboot it was not showing what soft version or map version it was running? Could it be because F910 upgrade version is differ for F900?

I just refreshed my unit with the newly installed 3.0 version and now I want to do the 3.01 upgrade, but will wait for your responses before I plunge again with the wrong file.

Thanks.

did the upgrade but forgot to unplug my ipod. It all went well. Got nervous towards the last update screen as both levels sat at 0% for about 4 minutes before blasting to 100% then rebooting.

 

One issue. my ipod was playing just fine for about 15minutes then all of sudden the Avic powered off. I clicked menu / AV and my ipod icon was gone. I pushed reset and it worked again but I only drove for another 5 minutes before I arrived at work.

 

Should I redo the upgrade?
