One of the reasons I felt hesitant to go with 3.0 was that I would lose Maverickster's mods I've had on my unit since the 2.0 upgrade. My SD cards from Pioneer came in yesterday and I installed them update last night. What a difference. Such as degrade in aesthetics without Maverickster. As I re-read this thread to the end I found that Ulmer had rewritten the mods for 3.0. I copied the files to an sd card and went back to my truck. I only changed the 3.0 data.zip for the mod available from ulmer on page 28 and, voila! I have my mods back. I restarted the unit a couple of times, the first time after installing the modified data.zip it went through the restart process, then booted with the radio off. I turned the radio on and restarted, worked perfectly. Restarted a couple more times to make sure and it looks like everything is working just great.
I really like my F700BT, the 3.0 upgrade made it more responsive, although I think the maps are a bit poorer. But with Maverickster's mods, thanks to ulmer, the unit is top shelf. Thank you Maverickster for the original mods, and thank you ulmer for the rework to make it functional on official Pioneer 3.0 upgrade.
