I tried the same myself and had no joy, So looked around and found someone mentioning the USB connector on the poineer units can not quite power a hard drive!!!! There is a way around it which does work but its a work around. I bought from a local supermarket a car accessory (cigarette lighter) to USB that provides the 5V at 500mA to power the drive, then some drives come with a Y cable. One of the USB connectors on this cable is just for power only which plugs into the adaptor mentionbed above the other (power and USB data) plugs into the the Pioneer unit. I tried this and got it work

I receved an interesting email today from Pioneer, it reads:- Dear Yoan, We have recently discovered that following an IT problem, emails were not being distributed and therefore should you not have resolved your question, please either re-submit your email or contact us on 0330 123 1240 or 0870 600 1539.

I have also had this problem, also a problem with my Bluetooth. I have tried the following and think I`ve get it sorted, although it does require delving into the guts of the head unit so its not for the feint hearted:- viewtopic.php?f=33&t=26428 Now my bluetooth and Iphone work just fine! Give it a try!

Just an update from this end! I experianced a lack of TMC after installing a version of exrider and 2009 maps so put my F900bt back to standard to get the TMC back. This had the undesireble effect of killing my Bluetooth once more, even after removing all the files in the two offending folders the bluetooth failed to work giving the Not found issue many have experienced and lack of connectivity to phones, I then did the Bluetooth Software Update (this time to 2.9) and wayhey! It now works! Its worth bearing in mide it may be the corrupt settings or software that causes bluetooth issu

Worked like a treat! Thanks mate! I even took a backup of the flash drive to store for future ! Have to wait for the weekend to reinstall it back in the car now!

I'll give it a go gareth! "You're the man!" if it works for me!!! What version of Firmware were you using? Im on 2.009! Maybe the powers to be on the forum can make your writeup a sticky as a few have had simular problems!

As the title says I`m after a full backup for an European f900bt so I can try and get my headunit stable again. There are loads of US backups about but none of European units has anyone got one I can borrow? The reason I want it as my Bluetooth no longer works and I have been quoted £125 + VAT (@15%) for a repair! The unit shows a current bluetooth software version as "not found" and thus I guess corrupt! I have tried to update but it refuses to complete the update and I`ve tried to manually install firmware, but upgrading to V 2.009 firmware has prevented me booting to the Windows CE sc

Hi Gareth! I contacted Pioneer uk and they said as it was out of warranty (by a couple of weeks!!0 I'd need to speak to one of their uk repair agents! and a list was available via their website! (Useful as a chocolate fireguard as I though!), As I was in work and should have been working I looked on the site and found one company! sent an email to company called Advanced Elelctronics & Logistics (http://www.a-e-l.com) who answered that a repair would be £125 + Vat!!! I replied to them to see what is covered and what warranty is applied to the repair and what firmware would be on t

Problem with Testmode 2.3 File! I can down the file but upon "un-raring" the file the CECMD.exe file throws up all kinds of error, Tried WinRar and WinAce on two seperate machines and get problems with both sets, Any ideas anyone or can someone email me a working copy? Thx

Don`t think it does! Well I cant get test mode to start during the boot sequence!

I`m sorry if I`m covering old ground on this, but I`m having problems with my F900BTs Bluetooth. I`ve looked through the forum and none of the other fixes seem to do the trick! It started a few weeks back when I noticed my phone (N95) wasn`t connected and no Blue led! I checked to see if the phone was connected and found the phone was greyed out so though no problem and deleted the connection and try to reconnect. upon trying to reconnect using the "search Devices" option the head unit times out with a "Could not find any available phones" and the Blue led stays off (only ever flashe
