agh Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 So does anybody else get any of the following bugs: (after every startup) - Map always defaults to 3D without showing street names - Doesn't keep contacts, favorites, or home address in memory - Doesn't keep illumi setting in memory Do I need to re-install? Empty a WinCE folder? Install a different GUI? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blueiedgod Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 So, after 6 months of use I lost my GPS signal today. After a couple of hours or trying figure out if a wire broke or the GPS antenna was dead, I just, on a hunch, decided to re-installed the 3.1FX and GPS started working. I ordered the free upgrade 2.xx SD card from Pioneer, just in case I ever have to go back to the old software. Anyone know how to revert back to 2.xx? Is it the same procedure where you copy over the contents of the flash drive over onto the onboard drive and reset? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I held the reset button down and the unit went into frenzy and do the infinite reboot loop. I'll probably be doing the reload of 3.1fx tonight and see if that helps. Should've sold the unit when it was working at 100%. Anyone wanna buy mine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Empty a WinCE folder? Install a different GUI? The 3D mode won't have street names As far as the memory not storing, I had the same problem and the problem went away on its own about 2-3 days after. Can't tell you why it didn't work at first, but the problem went away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can't tell you why it didn't work at first, but the problem went away. Thanks spaceman, at least now I know I wasn't the only one, though it's been about 2 weeks and still not keeping memory. Now I'm curious if doing some folder cleanup might do it...need to find out what folder though... Question: do you think if I update the maps to the 2010 it will show the street names again? Or maybe changing to a Daftia or Abb MOD will do it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
newburns Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I should be all good. My torretflux-b4rt shows that the file is seeding with 2 host and 0 peers. Don't know what else could be wrong. I tried, with unlimited upload. Sorry, don't fully understand torrents and how they work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dubzy Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 hey guys, need a little bit of help, I have been searching the forums for some help and haven't quite found it on my own. Upfront I know everyone says this is "so easy" and "did you try the search feature" and yes I have. So I followed the instructions from a print out, a few times. At first I didn't realize but the files were too big so I deleted the maps and POI's that I definitely will not need. Now everything seems to go through fine. After the files are transferred over I reset the the unit, and finally after a few tries I can get to the Pioneer screen, which is better than where I was first, with no splash and then turn off. I attempted to download the firmware from Pioneer and boot up that way, but that was prior to getting a pioneer screen. At this point I have only been able to Select Language and Voice options and then it hangs up at the pioneer screen. I did wait up to 15-20min to see if this was a loading process, but it appears to be stuck.... can anyone advise what to do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALPINE69 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Awesome! Went without a hitch! I even subbed in the new 2010 maps! Thanks for a fine package and simple instructions! So far all is good, Bluetooth, XM Radio, Ipod! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I read that my SD card might not be compatible so I've tried two different ones now PNY and Sandisk, both get the same results.... im considering getting one listed on the WIKI site just to try that avenue but it seems like it wouldnt make a big difference since all the files are copying, unless for some reason they are getting corrupted during the transfer.... Either way i still get the Pioneer startup screen, lets me select voice/language, then pioneer screen again, after about 3-5min it looks like it reboots, and same thing... I've tried deleting the gps bin files as it states on WIKI but no success Quote Link to post Share on other sites
