Can anyone share a working file structure for the F90BT or provide comment

 

I installed the 2.0 update and it worked correctly for two days. Following a power cycle the system started rebooting every few minutes. I comes up with the Pioneer screen and then just sits there until it reboots again.

 

If I press the menu button the menu appears and I can get into the system setup. It indicates version 2.0 and no map file.

Download a new copy of the update and go through the install again, you may have a corrupt file from the download or decompression process.

Thank you for the feedback. I tried. I was able to get the system to restart the update to 2.0 and still the same result. Wondering if the map data flash was damaged or if I'm missing files. When I boot into CE and load NAVI.EXE the map version shows up but no luck beyond that.

Returned to Pioneer for repair.

 

It seems very likely that this was software corruption. As such, I think it make sense for Pioneer to have an alternative to sending the unit in for repair.

 

An SD or CD with the appropriate software to update MAP and CE/App flash seems to make more sense than the disapointing and frustrating experience of having to rip out your system and live without it for two weeks.

 

Improve customer product and service perception Pioneer. There is plenty of competition out there. :idea:
