STI4Life06 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 so has anyone been successful with this process on the F700BT? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bruno.bona.b Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hi everybody. I’ve spent days crying at the (sadly known) boot-loop problem with my AVIC F700BT. And even more days at the PC screen trying to find out a solution. Tried many fixes that were looking nice. But all failed. And this one worked. Thank you so much vitorvieira (may I call you vitor ?? ) Just one short modification (for me at least): At the step: Dismount "DSK1" and then click on "NEW" and name it "My Flash Disk". I could not create “new†and name it as requested. Then I’ve tried the only other option offered. Which was to “format†the DSK1(or “delete†? Sorry, I’m writing here from memory, I don’t dare launching these wizard tricks again. I’m too happy that it works now). And I also had to use firmware found on Pionner site rather than the one listed here. Sorry, I’m no specialist at all. And honestly, I have no clue what “dismounting “means. I just know it worked and that I’m so greatful. Thanks again Vitor. Whoever you trust in, may he (she) bless you. Please let me know your e-mail address and I’ll send you small present. (or: you come to Belgium using your GPS and I offer you as many beers as you can drink). (there you know who I trust in ) Bruno Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vitormvieira Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 To all the others that asked me some questions, i want to apologize for not being able to answer. I'm not an expert...I'm just a guy that had a bricked unit, just like you, and didn't rest until i figured how to save my investment. I'm very happy to see that i could help you!

Roverguy Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 ...great forum...first post... I also have an F900BT...and it's rebooting...have tried various different solutions to fix this problem...but all ultimately fail... ...this looks like a great thread, and special thanks to the OP for taking the time to help others - I've downloaded and extracted all the files to SD cards...question though - before I try this, does anyone know if this will work if you have Version 2.0090000 currently installed?...the reason I'm asking is that the Pioneer web site suggests that if you upgrade to Version 3 (which this seems to do) without first having CNSD-100FM installed it will totaly brick the unit?

rock88 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 i tried to download the files from http://213.244.172.244/files/support/avic_apl_upgrade/AVIC-F700900/09%20model/AVIC_F700BT_F900BT_CNSD100FM_VER_3020200.zip , i did this several times and was timed out ..any suggestions or alternative links and when this is installed where would i get us and canada maps...this is only for europe..thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M4R14N0 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Seems like pioneer have moved servers heres the working link http://85.112.25.57/files/support/avic_apl_upgrade/AVIC-F700900/09%20model/AVIC_F700BT_F900BT_CNSD100FM_VER_3020200.zip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roverguy Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 ...well, finally plucked up the courage to try this...and it worked (thanks and total respect to the OP)...but only for a day!!!...did everything as noted, and for a day I had super fast tough screen control, the latest maps, no booting problems, etc...but when I turned the ignition this morning - nothing...I'm now at the point that I'm convinced this unit is never goinna work (has anyone ever had a F900BT that has worked as intended without any problems?)... ...I've now tried every solution to get this re-booting issue fixed, and I'm out of patience... ...right now I feel like stripping this piece of utter crap out of my car, smashing it into as many pieces as possible, and sending it back to Pioneer with a note telling them that this is what I think of their product, their customer support and their after sales service... ...anyone got any recommendations for a replacement unit in the £300-£400 price range?...that isn't a crap Pioneer?
