To everyone saying they can share it since you don't need the serial when placing the order, think about this.. No software you buy requires your Mac address to buy, When you first install it, it combines everything to identify it with that PC. Now at some point, amybe someone will come up with a crack but just pay the 70 and stop bitching/whining . You all cried over the 130 price, you now have a chance to get it for 60 plus freight/aplicable taxes and you still whine. I really like my unit, and gladly paid 70 to enhance it even more.

Ok, just got off the phone with the Canadian order desk (1-866-562-7093).

CNSD-100FM shows up in their system (as they share the same inventory system as the US). The order desk guy checked and said that it's not currently available to order in Canada, and he doesn't know when....

For all the people speculating that update MIGHT be linked to our serial numbers and pioneer not actually asking for them when we order, the update could still be linked to your serial number. All it take is a little script that checks your serial number during the update process and then locks the update to your unit.

To tell you the truth it really doesnt matter if it is linked to our units someone will hack it in the first 5-10min they get their hands on it.

I ordersed mine for the $60, but if it was going to be $130 you can bet your sweet a$$ i would have waited for someone to post it for DL.

That's probably exactly the reason why it's available for $60 + tax/shipping...

Ok so I will continue the order thread with my order details.............

Called a couple of times and got a voice mail asking to leave a message, then just kept trying and to my surprise a lady named Cathy answered and I stated I would like to order the future update to the ..............

And that is where she interrupted me and said let me guess, You want the F series update for the 700BT and you heard about the special price on the AVIC411 website right? And goes on to say that she has over 70 voice mails to return.

Since I had already registered with Pioneer the process went quite quickly and she gave me the confirmation order number followed by an email receipt.

Again as others have stated ship date looks to be end July 1st week of August.

Thanks AVIC411

edit: Wow just realized that this was my first post...... no longer a lurker

I just wanted to put in my experience and see if anyone got the same care. I called into the customer service number (US care) and the lady took a look at who I needed to talk too. She then gave me the parts number (US again: 800-228-7221) and after a few more minutes of waiting someone got on the phone to help. I asked about the 3.0 update that I saw on their website (I didn't mention anything about this website) and that I wanted to place an order for it. I didn't really want to pay and I was going to ask about getting just the fix for the bad software but either way I was ready to pay the $60-$70 bucks and get the map update. Any how, the lady said I was suppose to download it from the main web page but she would be happy to place an order for me as well. I asked her to show me where I can down load it and that is when she realized that there was no down load and she continued the order.

Here is the real kicker... She did NOT ask for a credit card of kind, ZERO charge, NO money was exchanged. I mentioned 3.0 specifically several times and said "as long as it's the 3.0 update I'll be happy to wait the 3 weeks". She said it was 3.0 and emailed me the confirmation order but that email doesn't say anything about what I ordered.

Sorry for the long post but do you guys think I should call back and see if someone else can look up the order and make sure it's the right one? I don't want to wait 3 weeks and then have call in again and wait another couple weeks.

I'd say if it sounds too good to be true..

Found a way for Canadians to get through...

Use Skype and call the US 1-866 number! I just placed an order (had it shipped to a receiver in the states which I use)

I got a conf#, but haven't received the email yet. Hoping for a surprise next month in the mail

Point and case: I'm on hold with them again.

I've called like 10 times today and the voicmail always picks up. So annoying

is this a joke? I hope not, cause I have the automatic refresh extension on Firefox refreshing every 5 minutes, so I can go drink more beer and eat more Tostino's pizza rolls. Yes. This is the life.

Only makes sense if you think this site has generated so much work for them.

Does anyone have a product code for the update... I'm being told that it doesn't exsist and that the only update is 2.0006 and that is free.

I've talked to customer care, parts department, customer care again, and the parts department again!

I even told the guy it's a 3.0 update and I have a website that has numerous people purchased this update... are you telling me they are mistaken? He said "I'm not here to argue with you, this is what I have". I politely asked him to ask someone else for me.

Wish me luck!

Then you didn't call the Direct Sales Line.

read post above

I ordered the update for $68. No serial required. I figured buy the update, Copy the sd cards and see if it works, then return the originals.

Call me a scammer or a theif but pioneer is the real theif for releasing a bastard product that is full of bugs.

I did miss the number directly to Kim oringially. I looked back like you guys said and called her up. God she is a sweet heart! I say we all send her a gift package. I did have the part number directly off the website and that is exactly what the guy said did NOT exsist. I ask for help when I need it, I'm not that lazy!

I do appreciate everyones help on this. Sorry for being the noob here.

Just got thru and got it ordered. The lady answering the phone said she was the only one there today and the phones haven't stopped all day. LOL

Yea, I'm playing tag with the answering machine. So far the machine has 8 point and counting.

Ok, order has been placed. Corina is also awesome but she said we can't send her anything because she doesn't want to be posioned, haha.

Thanks for everyones help and a big thanks for the girls answering the phones. I'm sure they have been hit on enough today, haha.

Just ordered mine for 68.75. The lady was really nice.

I contact Pioneer Europe in Belgium and they told me i have to order the update by a Pioneer reseller. They told me it's not for sale yet at the moment. They expect next month

same here, and they added: there is no special offer for the update in the benelux...

So I suggest, we gather as benelux, or better eu customers and demand a similar price as the us price from pioneer europe, because we have payed more for the unit itself and again are paying more for an update, this doesn't seem reasonable!

i called and was told to wait for the website to update so i can order from the website. they would not take my order.

website ordering is live now

Yep, they're up! Here are the links:

Pioneer is calling it quits for the week we'll be back Monday. Have a great weekend! Feel free to order at the links above this weekend or give us a call Monday. (866.214.1310)

Thanks,
