d12dirtydozen Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 So today I turned on my car, and I got some type of windows error box. I reset the my avic f90bt, and I thought everything was fine. I'm driving down the highway, and my unit all of a sudden just reboots. On my ride home, it happens another 3-4 times, rebooting it self every 3-4 minutes. I've searched up and down, and there's been numerous different "fixes" but nothing that's been a definite solution. Can somebody please point me in the right direction? If somebody is in So Cal and willing to help, I'll gladly tip $$ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blexus Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Type in avic repair on ebay..... $30 and you get a SD card with 3.0 and 2011 maps it will fix the reboot problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
d12dirtydozen Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Thanks blexus. That's the same one that everybody on here downloaded right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blexus Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 That didnt work very well, anyway like i said it fixed my avic F-7010BT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pionara Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 you will need to do some reading on the forum, but it can be fixed. (If you will spend some time reading, it can be fixed for free - and probably even updated to recent fw, maps, and pois). most likely igo (the nav core for these models) has some problem starting up 1. boot into testmode on sd 2. manually launch igo (/apl2/igo/ezrider.exe) 3. inspect error and try to fix my problem was that i was editing /apl2/igo/content/lang folder on a mac, and it left junk files (_somefile.zip) which igo didnt like in the folder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
d12dirtydozen Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I bought it from the eBay seller and it worked. My only gripe is that the poi's do not show the nearest ones to me. It shows stuff 5 miles away when there's one right around the corner from me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjjbadboy Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 hey would any of you guys happen to have the files needed to do a complete system restore? i have a f90bt and its been frozen on the splash screen for like 4 months i have spent a lot of time reading and seems i need the backup files, winceimg.bin and another winceimg.... as well as testmode. I believe i found a copy of test mode but nothing happens when i put the card in.. I can get it into service mode though. can i use my old 2.0 update in service mode? do you think the 3.0 update would fix it if I am about to do it in service mode? will gladly pay for the files or whatever to fix it just dont want to send it to pioneer for 240 bucks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blexus Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 What was the steps to upload the 3.0 updates to a avic f series I have the SD card with the files thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
