Ben NR#1 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hi, i am going to use this, i own an EU avic f700bt with Firmware v2 installed. What do i need to run this ? Installed the hacked 3.0 firmware or buy the offical one from pioneer? Read the instructions. Hi, I read the instruction (Diafta's opening post) but it doesn't tell me anything about a required firmware level or "proven to work" models. It is designed for an F500BT. joepie, i finally found what i was looking for... EU 3.0 firmware : viewtopic.php?f=34&t=26625 it is version 3.000300 ; [2008 Navigation Application Release Record] Product : AVIC-F500BT/F700BT/F900BT 20090511 11:34 Release File : APL Release Version : 3.000300 20090511 [2009 Navigation Platform Release Record] Product : AVIC-F700BT/AVIC-F900BT Fri. Apr. 24 12:00:00 2009 Release File : PLT Release Version : 6.2.1.9 [2009 Navigation Data Release Record] Product : AVIC-F500BT/AVIC-F700BT/AVIC-F900BT 20090420 10:00 Release File : DATA Release Version : 2.000100 20090420 will this work with this mod ? thank you.

wakkigy Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thank you for this wonderful mod, everything looks really good and smooth. I do run into one problem, the GPS navigationi feature would run fine as long as I do not have any AV source (SD/USB) with media inserted. When it detected a media source and start playing automatically, I cannot get back to the navigation mode; pressing MAP or selecting navigation will only 'beeps' but does not do anything. Anyone ran into this issue? - I am running F500BT - v3.00003 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hube2002 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Alex, how do i change the sky image in your mod? i like the big moon in abbs mod and i have hundreds of schemes i downloaded off the forum, can i just rename any of them to pioneer_blue_day or night and swap them out or is it more complicated than this? they are all named aurora_night and such... but seem to have same files inside rar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greg Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Hey Diaftia, Have have just one question. When I have a route in and I want to look for a POI it goes to the screen as to where to look for your POI. There are open boxes with nothing in them, can I add an option in there or is that something you have to do? I was wanting to add a hot key for "along route" as well. Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonTat Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 These mods were tested and made on a US based F90BT running 3.01. /quote] Can anyone tell me where to get the 3.01 update. I have checked Pioneer's site under the F90BT, F700BT and the f900BT and only see the 2.06 update. I did a search on AVIC for F90BT 3.01 update and got 53 pages. Hope someone can save me from sifting through all of them. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DonTat Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Thank you, that page says that it includes the 3.0 update...does it include the 3.01 update as well? Somehow I thought this was a separate download...am I wrong about that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cigga24 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 yes its the 3.01 update. you'll see a 3.02 update around here but thats referring to the EU version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, Does this mean that performing the steps described in this topic will also update my unit to firmware v3 ? F700BT EU version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cigga24 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 No, you have to have v3 in order to use these mods. yes its the 3.01 update. you'll see a 3.02 update around here but thats referring to the EU version.

69sixpackbee Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Here's an interesting find: I was driving down the freeway today I noticed that the road names were scrolling! They have not done that before even though I had it turned on in the settings. I also notice that this is IN DIRECT CORRELATION with the trip computer and track logs. My trip computer does not work 99% of the time so this was a neat thing to me I also sat still and went into the GPS/TIME settings and se that the SPEED usually shows movement even when sitting still! I was playing around with turning it off (the GPS setting) and when I clicked it back on the speed finally showed 0.00 MPH...and when I went into the trip computer..it was working!! There is DEFINATELY a hitch between the GPS speed and those other functions! Can somebody else confirm this? Hey, CArver< if you are following this posting can you figure out which file this is in and disect the code string(s)so that it will keep the GPS from showing any movement when sitting still and maybe confirm what I suspect with the trip computer/track log inconsistency? Thanx! Bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gates59 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I'm using this on my f500 and it is working great except none of my setting are being save when I shut off gps. I read something at the start of this thread. (If you are running an F500, or are using a unit in the EU, then edit the semicolons at the top of the sys.txt file before copying them over to the AVIC). I don't know what this means. Is this my problem. THNX. Gates Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marf Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I solved the TMC by reading some other posts if your in UK you need to modify the sys file to EW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
69sixpackbee Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 HI am unsure which firmware version I have since I reloaded my flash disk. In your debug settings is says at the bottom: Integrate Version 3.0003 Does this mean I have this version? I thought I was running V3.01. Thanx, Bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
