Ady B Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks guys, It doesn't have EU or Mexico maps because there wasn't enough space. You can download this though, and replace the maps. It should work: <!-- m -->http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4556833 ... _Lang_Only<!-- m --> Could somebody explain where to put the date from this download (which I have) on to the SD card with the 3.1 image on.? Do I just copy everything to the root? (sorry for sounding thick, I`m just new at this) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xunruli Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Could somebody explain where to put the date from this download (which I have) on to the SD card with the 3.1 image on.? Do I just copy everything to the root? (sorry for sounding thick, I`m just new at this) First off thanks to OP for posting this thread. I just completed the install on my fb900bt today, took about 1 hour. Basically everything is broken down to 3 parts. 1) download the rar file from the torrent host 2) Extract files to SD card 3) copy from SD card to Avic by going into test mode Just format your SD card then copy everything from the rar file that you downloaded onto the SD card then follow OP's step by step instruction (it'll help to print out the instructions so you have it with you when you do the install), should work like a charm. It worked for me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nikoli4 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Alright...I read through the whole post, downloaded the torrent, and I'm ready to go. One question I have, how do I backup my current setup in case this doesn't work? Do I just use the test mode files on an extra memory card, go in and backup my current "My Flash Disk" folder, then restart the process using a different memory card loaded with the updated files? I searched the forum, but couldn't find a good post explaining how to back up everything. I just want to make sure I can get back to where I am now, in case something goes wrong. I'd rather not brick my head unit..lol Thanks! Nik Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So whether your OLD files will work with the new windowsCE I cant say, i`m sure somebody on here will know the answer though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WRXDrummer Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 All, I will have the torrent seeding as much as possible. I can also put it on a folder in dropbox if you'd want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yeek Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 For F500BT users: If you don't need the 2009 maps from 3.1 package, there is no point to use this package, as you can get the office 3.02.02 for F500BT from pioneer directly: http://www.pioneer.fr/files/support/avic_apl_upgrade/AVIC_F500/09%20Model/AVIC_F500BT_CNSD150FM_VER_3020200.zip To install the official upgrade, just extract the zip file to the root of an empty SD Card, insert into your F500 and do a hard reboot. Upgrade will be done automatically. Of cause, you will need to load the hacked ezrider afterwards in order to use not-pioneer-provided igo maps. Good luck, Yeek Quote Link to post Share on other sites

braddman Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hey brother, thank you for creating this, however I do have a question. I thought everything was working great, but the first time I pressed the "HISTORY" button, it crashed with an error that it could not load a certain file in some folder. Next thing that happened is I tried to map a route and it crashed again and said it couldn't load another file, something about the exit numbers. Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To fix the error message try deleting your user data. Your user data is in “My Flash Disk\User\UserData". Delete the entire 'IGO' folder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cwolfey Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I have a wierd problem with an F900bt also.. OK I have done the update..formated load in the new 3.1 update and after a little while..the unit becomes really slow and un usable.. The only thing maybe?...is after I do the wince format update, before I copy the new image over I delete what ever is left or still in the "my flash drive" folder... Other than that I am just copying the entire image over...turn it on, all is fine all functions work, but then it gets really slow Please help...! Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck, Yeek Even better, guess perhaps I don't need seeders after all. I see the update is from Pioneer Europe, can it be used in North America? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
