will we get an iGo update?

Will we get album art from MP3's on the SD/USB?

New Maps?

Video scaling from SD/USB?

anyone....?

maybe, maybe not..

I doubt they'll be adding USB/SD features since those were curtailed quite a bit from initial manual printing to production.

As of now the only known fixes are bluetooth and iPod problems.

Can i ask how we know there is even a 3.0 update coming out, is it speculation or are there links to articles from pioneer?

There's a thread in the forum of someone who's directly connected to Pioneer said it will be out in June. You won't find any articles on it yet, but I doubt someone would just make that up.

FYP

Hopefully they make it even quicker and add the new igo (which I don't think should be too hard for them)

If they were only doing minor fixes i don't think they would have labeled it as 3.0

iGo is not developed by Pioneer. If 3.0 is as major as upgrading the iGo, you probably need to pay for it instead of a free upgrade. Same case for new map.

So album pics don't show from SDHC? That sucks. That was one of the things I was wondering about as I wait for my F700BT to arrive.

I have read on other sites that it is likely the next up date will be very significant and will most likely have to be paid for.

well that sucks a fat one... i don't want to have to pay for something they say is going to fix problems with the existing software/firmware!

Yes but they could also say, sorry this unit is outdated and we will not be supporting it in any way anymore. At least it's an option. We are discussing (in another thread) for everyone to chip in and share the software. More people chip in, cheaper it will be.

Thats a good idea and i would certainly be up for that. This way you may even get some input into what improvements could be made

Do we know how much the update will be form the guy who has the insider info?

Someone pissed him off and left the site. Shame.

LOl, oh well the internet is BIG BIG place

If we have to pay for it... It better be really good. I Hope its new maps though... Yesterday I had a appt for a CT scan in another hospital... I sorta knew where the hospital was but wasnt quite sure which way I was suppose to go. I wanted to use my 700 but it didnt know the street numbers or even have the hospital on poi. Well turns out there is no such place on the map for the place.. When I was there my arrow was in no mans land. So im hoping for some new maps!!!

I would chip in to share the file. It should be free. I don't really have any issues but hey ,newer is better right?

Yeh right....just like Windows Vista.

AFAIK, the update is expected to release sometime in June. From what I've been reading, the DNX9140 is expected to release in April. Quite a few members here have shown interest to Kenwood's new unit and will probably (myself included) ditch the F Series for it. I'm not certain how much the update will be, but if you want to get members interested in chipping in, you might want to start an official 3.0 Group Buy thread and start taking names, that way it's a lot more organized and you'll have an exact number of people who will throw down to get the update, making it easier to divvy up the total cost. Just my $0.02

MadsonP, Lol to the vista post

geese the update might only be around 100$.... you guys all cheepos or what??? hehehehe

i am... lol

That's 1/4th the cost of my unit. That's way too much for an update.

I'm not too worried about it costing anything though...

1/4th??? damn,,, my 90bt is worth 950(thats what I paid... (yeah I know,, I regret it every day)

Fortunalty i paid around $300 for my 700, and as much as another $100 is not a big purchase there is something wrong with the idea of buying a product, and then paying again to have it work as expected.....in my mind its kinda like if you bought a new benz for $90k, and when you went to pick it up you found it sitting on blocks...the dealer walks out with a smile and casually asks "oh, you want tires with that; there another $1500"

In the big picture another $1500 is not that big of a deal, but you would deffinatly be shocked (and pissed) they were not included
