mhtn Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Performed the upgrade on my F700bt from 2.008 FW yesterday and it was great! So easy to do. Everything went smoothly. Not a single issue whatsoever. Now everything is snappier, bluetooth works great, very clear, and I now have new map! Thanks much, Retell! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
teiva-boy Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I did this a few weeks ago, and all went well.. However I noticed that my MSN Direct isnt working anymore. Does this perhaps change the MSN serial number of the unit? Like perhaps it's stored in the firmware, not in hardware? I paid for a lifetime service, which should be good till 2012...

Chuck88 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I paid for a lifetime service, which should be good till 2012... Lifetime only thru 2012? Looks like that the movie 2012 is true ... exactly the 21st of December 2010 . Just joking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ruffi! Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 about to try this on my x910bt.... i noticed my maps are from 2008 and my trip from texas to missouri my gps was freaking out because i wasnt on the roads that existed two years ago lol... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ruffi! Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 FYI, I was using StuffIt Expander 12.0.2 on my Mac. thats probably why... that app doesnt play nice with rars. I'd use keka for extracting rars.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jblack Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I have followed all of the steps and my blue update screen seems to stop at 44% any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ruffi! Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Fixed. I had to delete a few maps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
teiva-boy Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I did this a few weeks ago, and all went well.. However I noticed that my MSN Direct isnt working anymore. Does this perhaps change the MSN serial number of the unit? Like perhaps it's stored in the firmware, not in hardware? I paid for a lifetime service, which should be good till 2012... Fixed. I had to log into MSN Direct, and "reactivate," my device. Which in turn sends out a signal to the device. Interestingly enough, you do not have to do it immediately. I did the activation, and didnt go to my car till the next day, and the traffic services were working. So the activation signal is not something you need to do and run to your car right after...

e_poirier2004 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 I have a LITTLE problem! I attempted to do the update but now the unit is stuck on the pioneer splash screen. Keeps on rebooting without going to the menu. About 4 hours I try to figure it out. Any idea anyone? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
e_poirier2004 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Just tried to install the fx3.1 after updating 2.06 and 2.08. Everything was well up to the fx3.1. It went flawlessly until I tried to reboot. The unit is stuck in a loop and just stays in the splash screen. Any ideas how I could fix it ? I bought this radio for my wife's new car and I've spent the whole weekend trying to fix it. I need a fix badly!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck88 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 For all your people having REBOOTING problem, it has been discussed over and over in the past. Please search this topic or this forum. The most common causes are: 1) Not enough space in the internal Flash to store all the data of the SD card after the WinCE update. The internal Flash disk has only 1.7 GB of free space. There is apparently no warning when the copy operation can't fit all files in it within TestMode. You would have to delete some maps or POI from the SD card and try again. 2) Copy files from the SD card to the wrong place in the internal Flash disk. You have to copy appropriate files from \Card Storage\My Flash Disk\*.* to \My Flash Disk\*.* of the head unit. 3) If none of the above, check here: http://avic411.com/wiki/index.php/Reboot_Loop. Good lucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
