Did the CD-RB20 work? I'd also like to be able to hook another aux input up. I tried a homemade CD-RB10 cable and it didn't work so I'm curious about your results with the RB20.

Umm.. there is no way this is going to work. The X-Series 3.0101 update is an update on top of 3.0. Even if you somehow got the files from this update onto your F-series, it still would be missing the map and license files, the new system sounds, etc. You have to put a full 3.0 install on the unit in order to run this update.

Yeah, I can find maps and a license file easily enough, its just a matter of getting EZRider to accept it. That's a bit beyond my skills, unfortunately. Somebody had asked me if the radio preset up and down works now - unfortunately, it doesn't seem to. It just increments the channel # by .1 with my steering wheel controls, and up and down doesn't do anything on the main radio display.

I'm halfway there! I have the APL folder from the X-series 3.01 update up and running on my F700bt. To see how I got there look here: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25487&p=173804#p173767 No luck on getting the APL2 folder (i.e. iGO 8.3) working. I'm pretty sure its a license file/map issue. The update for the X-series doesn't contain the folders and files for the maps or POI or license files. I think if we got a copy of the files from an actual X series we'd be set. It appears from my limited testing that leaving the old APL2 (iGO 8.0) folder in place works with the newer WinCE and APL

Well, my observations so far: [*:1bk4o40a]Menus definately seem quicker [*:1bk4o40a]Startup time seems slightly quicker [*:1bk4o40a]It now boots up into the iPod screen if thats what I was listening to when I turned the radio off. Before it would just load to the main menu. [*:1bk4o40a]Any non-Nav related menu items seem to be like the 3.0 screenshots. However, the system info still displays 2.0 as the version number. I gave up on getting the APL2 files from the X-series 3.001 update working for now. The existing files seem to operate fine. I'll play around with it more over the week

I'm stuck with iGO at the moment. I'm betting its because the X series update file doesn't include license and map files, so iGo won't start. The system gets "stuck" if I try to do anything NAV related with the 8.3 files in place. If I boot test mode and try running EZRIDER.exe by hand, the Pioneer logo flashes on the screen for a split second, then disappears. I did copy over my old MAPS and POI folders, to no avail. I think either EZRIDER.exe needs to be patched to take a different license file, or we need to get a hold of the full APL2 folder from an X series.

Success!!!!! Well, so far! 1) I updated the WinCE version via the instructions here : viewtopic.php?f=33&t=25424&p=172862&hilit=service+menu#p172862 EXCEPT I choose the update WITHOUT formatting option. 2) Using the new testmode 2.3, moved the old APL to APL.bak, and copied over the 3.0 version 3) Crossed fingers, reset 4) Booted! So far I haven't found any problems - some of the menu items are like in the 3.0 screenshot tour viewtopic.php?t=25031 , basically the non-NAV related items (bluetooth call screen, for example) 5) Its still runing iGo 8.0, since I didnt replace t

I get the same thing. If I boot into WinCE and run mainmenu.exe by hand, sometimes I've gotten it to change the screen brightness, and once my iPod got the Pioneer logo on it briefly. But it always crashes, and automatically reboots about half of the time. Does anyone know how the firmware upgrades work "normally"? What triggers the upgrade process in a standard upgrade situation? The layout of the X-series upgrade files and the 2.006 update don't really look any different to me.
