the card i got in the mail is suppose to have the newest update on it..but when i try to update from the 600 update it starts up as if it's already updated...any ideas?
What do you mean "from the 600 update"? Did you already install firmware 1.001700 that was released a few weeks ago?
I did a quick search of the forum, but didn't find any mention of a 2nd update for the f90 except that one's coming. So here's what I found, NOT confirmed, but thought I would share it.
There's a stereo shop in town that I've been visiting so that I can get a glimse of the f series (still haven't seen it yet). Again, no go today (not on display) BUT the guy behind the counter said that he had the second update that he just received in this mornings mail. I asked him 3 times and he confirmed that it was both the second and that it was for f90.
Can anyone else confirm this? I've read a lot of the release in Europe but not here in US...?
Hello i didnt even realise this was a second update but i have just installed it and to be honest the 2 things that annoy me most are still there, my ipod (5th Gen) still randomly dies even though its always plugged in and its fine when its just working normally, just turns itself off randomly which switches the source off which in turn pisses me off and then from either 5seconds to 5 minutes later turns it back on and switches the source back on.
Also no voice control for us EU customers i dont even know if they will ever bring that back
The bluetooth in my opinion on my 3G iphone has got worse but it does actually ring through the speakers where as before i could only hear it when they answered.
The blue boxes are still there and it still has the robots as the TTS voices.
Other than that not much seems diffrent i think the screen is a little more responsive but that may just be my nails need cutting.
any idea if the VR will be added again for us europeans or not?

Hi,
Thanks for your email.
After extended discussions with our European service centre it has been found that dial tones can not be reproduced by the headunit.

Speaking of the second update, anyone heard any news? shouldn't it be out by now? I've been patient but it is starting to get thin, i am actually looking around at different units. I would like to believe that pioneer is going to send out a nice big update and fix everything, this unit has a lot of potential, hope it comes out soon.
