Hi all, I'm just now getting around to updating my F90BT as it recently began to constantly start up, load (slowly), start playing a CD (nothing else will work), then quit. Rinse, repeat. Rinse, repeat, ad infinitum - so long as my ignition is on.

Reason I found this thread to begin with: As y'all have known for a good 10 years, there is no TTS file in the AVIC F-Series Firmware update download from Pioneer, - but now all the links to TTS files in this thread are dead. Also - I've never done anything with the stereo thus far, so I don't really understand when people are talking about "test mode" this or that, so I'm not sure what I would have done with those links in the first place if it wasn't just directly obtaining the missing TTS file to load on the SD card. I assume any "test mode" type action is done at the tail end of the update - at least after you update the software? ...In theory, anyways? ???

Presently, I can't do *anything* with the unit  - in some test mode or otherwise - as it just cycles through wanting to boot, quitting, repeating, whenever my car is on. Menus basically don't work - although I *can* get it to start playing part of a CD (it's still responsive - but nothing seems to work as far as trying to sort of jolt it out of its super annoying pattern of - again - boot, find the CD, play it for some 1.5 minutes-ish, and then crash (go to black - as if the car was off) - then boot, play that 1.5 minutes, and crash again.

The map can't be called up AT ALL. It'll just try to boot til it crashes and then goes round and round again. No Bluetooth, either. That went away some time ago. I was hoping this update would fix that.

Anyways. Help! TTS file? Anyone else get this circular crashing thing? Anything work for you out there other than paying someone else to fix it? Thanks!
