frrrrrrunkis Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I have a question. Is it at all possible to take the map upgrade from another Pioneer Unit and convert it to be used on the D-3? I saw on Pioneer's site that the u310-bt upgrade has to be transferred to a mem card from a supplied DVD. I wonder if its possible to somehow use this DVD or the information on it, and apply it to our systems? I really don't feel like paying 1000 bucks to upgrade my entire system.

IAmSuperBleeder Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 the sad part is, your last line you typed there, that's what companies like Pioneer are counting on. not that I blame them, but yeah I do wish they wouldn't just leave a product behind figuratively speaking when there's OBVIOUSLY still plenty of people using them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drtechy Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Yea I gotta agree, it's ridiculous that they stop supporting them after so long. Not to mention why configure them to use different map discs, why not program the firmware on all the units so they can read the same discs? But I guess it's like you said, they just want you to buy a newer unit for a G. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mdbrown Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Not to defend pioneer but as technology advances it becomes necessary update the software to take advantage of it. It is no longer compatible with the older units. They will continue to support the older units until it is no longer profitable. If not we'd all still be using 8-tracks....

VBLUE42 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 And who said they wont be releasing map upgrades for the D3? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mdbrown Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 My understanding is the D series has received it's last update. I'm not certain that includes the D3 but I know it includes the D1, D2 and I think the N1, N2, and N3... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
