The file is compressed to a smaller size using a software to compress it. All you have to do after downloading is decompress it with win zip. If you have Windows XP you already have win zip and just have to right click on the file and click on the unzip button. If you read the whole instructions at the site they tell you how to do this.
*If you do not have a decompression utility on your computer, you can download WinZip at http://www.winzip.com.*
Does anyone know if these update works for Canadian units too? I got mine at Future Shop.
It does say US units only but I have Canadian and American maps so I thought maybe Pioneer considers Canadian units to be the same thing as American.
Thanks.
I have a mac and I tried to decompress it but it only has the option to compress it ...the file LPUE080 is 262.4 MB does that mean it is decompressed?
Everything works perfectly!! As with the previous updates and hacks you just have to follow directions. Software bypass works perfectly, contacts now have mobile/home, etc denotations, boot up time is acceptable. I do wish they would do heads up 2D, but oh well.

There is no difference between US and Canadian units... go for it! Mine updated just fine
Great update. Most noticeable:
1. Faster boot up 30 secs
2. Touch screen controls much more sensitive.
Can we delete all the extra files this thing put on the SD cards I assume?
Time
Has anyone notice a lag in GPS...Like your on freeway and avic says get on the free in 1000ft.
No, no lag, but just disappointed that the TTS voice hasn't been updated to be friendlier to one's ears and more accurate when speaking street names.
Bestbuy called me this morning to let me know there was an update lol.
Using the contacts, is their communication between apps, like can you choose one of your contacts and choose to route to it via the GPS? Or better yet, can you use the vioce command to do this (much as you would to dial a contact)?
Trying to decide how much benefit I'd get from an upgrade from the D2 to the 90BT.
Thanks

On a Mac, just double click to extract it or choose 'Open with > Archive Utility'. There should be a Folder called LPUE080, not a file!
The LPUE080 folder from my european 1.9 update is exactly 262.4Mb in size and contains 526 items.
You could also try a tool like Stuffit Expander if you still have problems.
Just did the updates on my 700.
Worked like a charm.
However, I'm finding that I still can not sync my phonebook from my Motorola V551.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Unless you've made changes to your system preferences, recent Mac operating systems automatically decompress archived downloads and place them in your selected download folder. The original zipped file is automatically placed in the trash (which is good to know if you actually need the compressed file).
thanks guys, good to know macs automatically decompresses, no wonder it only has the option to compress...
hey guys, just installed the system. one thing i noticed was when you start up, it first opens the map therefore asking you to press ok... is there an option that when the start up occurs it can go to menu first instead of map? also has anyone tried to do any mods in this new firmware?

The system boots up to the screen you were veiwing when you shut it down. So if you don't want to boot up to the map switch your screen to the AV source you're listening to before you shut off the vehicle.
I thought everything was working better until today when my 80gb IPOD locked up completely. I had to hard reset it. Now everytime I power on the F90 it doesn't see the IPOD until I disconnect and reconnect the cable.
Wow am I glad I spent my money on this POS.
I installed my F90 unit this past weekend. Matched it up with the XM tuner and the HD radio tuner. I updated the system to the 2,0 version straighaway. It plays EVERY AV source flawlessly. The GPS system is great, and I am having a fantastic time with all the wonderful features.
Wow! I am glad I chose to spend my money on this versatile, quality headunit!
Just installed it
it's workin great!
Boot up was actually a little slower than most people reported, because of ipod connection, but everything else is working superbly
Was an easy update and works great for me.

Good response! 
Mine still won't load my contacts but every thing else seems to work just fine. Fun unit that keeps getting better...
Please help. I have an avic-700bt and tried to install the 2.0 update. I downloaded from the website. Then, I unzipped it which it now contained 3 folders (LPUE080, operations manuals, TTS). I copied the LPUE080 and TTS folders to the SD, as is. When I loaded it into the unit, I got the error message "File Checking Error:/ storage card/:PUE080/APL2/iGo/data.zip is wrong!. So, I called Pioneer. They suggested I open each folder and unzip all the individual files. So, I did that and stored the files on the SD card. When I put it back in the unit, I got the error message "File Checking Error:/ storage card/:PUE080/APL2/iGo/data.zip is missing!
Please help! I want to install the update and don't know what to do from here. Pioneer people are not very much help......
Thanks!
remove your old files from your sd card and redownload them again from the site and unzip the top level directory like you originally did. put the two necessary files on your sd card and try again. if not try a different sd card or reformat it.
