superb09 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Same problem for me as wel. Bought a car yesterday with the avic f900bt installed but it seems that there never has been updated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dasLetzte Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 seems like it is possible to update f900 to firmware v4, see http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/33866-update-f900bt-from-2009-to-4/ i don´t remember details of updating maps and firmware, because f900 is quite a long time ago but i´m sure you will find all needed information in the hacks/mods section Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonspencerbx Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I actually bought the cnsd-400fm (eu) update from pioneer last week. It included the 2013 maps and version 5 firmware. Works like a dream. I also bought a car with a never updated unit (it was still on v 1). I updated the unit to v 2, which was a big improvement, but the unit was stil slow. I updated with v 5 a week ago, and couldn't be happier. Much more responsive, navigation is greatly improved. Glad I made the purchase. http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/25/38/301/CNSD-400FM/page.html Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Freezz Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 thank you for sharing, worked! Hello, I don't understand the following in http://europecaraudi...system-t35.html, please help. The next step, how to update Pioneer application: When Your SD card is inserted, turn on Your head unit, it should boot into Testmode (It will look like a old Windows XP). I prefer Total Commander to copy new files - from "\Storage Card\files_for_copy_to_My_Flash_Disk" to Pioneer folder which is "\My Flash Disk" My used method to copy files: open Total commander, on the left side open Pioneers folder (My Flash Disk), on the right side navigate to Storage Card and open "files_for_copy_to_My_Flash_Disk" folder. Then select all and use "drag&drop" method to copy files to Pioneer unit. My Flash Disk contain the folders APL, APL2, etc. This may take ~15mins. When copy is completed, remove the card and reset the head unit, if everything went right, You should boot into Pioneer's initial setup. How can I get Total Commander on the Avic F900BT? Or am I not understanding it? Thanks for everybody who replys. UPDATE: IT WORKED! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vetro Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 If I understood something right here, when you are in "testmode" WinCE is read from your card and load into the system. One of the apps-link that you see on the WinCE desktop is just Total Commander, useful to manage the files from your card (storage card) to the unit (my flash disk). Good luck (I'm in trouble like you...)http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/38136-avic-f900bt-lost-all-maps-data-and-stucked-on-the-startup-screen/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
