i see your listening radio 538

can you upload the contents of the sd cards please

your fellow dutchmen

lays

Bought the unit together with my passat CC in april. Knew about the coming update so asked my dealer to provide me with the latest software in July.

Last week I was called by a Pioneer rep who wanted my address to send me the SD with the latest software.

It should be sent this week so I''ll keep you posted.

If nothing arrives this week I'll try to find out if it is actually delayed.

 

Received the update and installed it.

First impression:

- startup takes about 50secs now, so pretty pissed off

- the information screen (speed, distance, time to destination) only has 2 lines left instead of 3

- respons on touchscreen is much better

- Now 3D, 2D and 2DNorth display

- traffic signs in Navigation is nice improvement

 

Sorry for the poor quality pics but took 'm while driving with my BlackBerry.

As I'm a noob with hacking and modding I can't tell you what still works and what doesn't.

This is really great to see! Thanks for posting!

I see you live in the Netherlands. Is there possibility the upload the SD card somewhere. Or when this a serial connected or something (i dont think so) maybe you can give us an adress where we can get this update. What is the price you paid for this update?

Would be great!

Thanks in advance,

Eric

Wow That looks nice.....

Yeah a downloadlink from rapidshare would be great. You'll be the EU hero of Avic411.com

Congratulations with better software.

if possible, an upload to megaupload would be better. no wait time.

or send it to me and i put it on my own web site for download

Nice Pic's! Please take more.

Any reaction?

sorry, I'm rather busy at the moment. I got a lot of requests for the software.

This weekend I'll try to find out if anything in the software can be traced back to me.

I'm also surprised I'm the only one with the software so far.

I'll post some pics of the update process this weekend as well.

zou idd wel super waanzinnig zijn als je die moeite zou willen doen!

a lot of people wil jump a gap in the air if you can do that!

bij voorbaat dank voor de moeite

and if it aint gonna work with installing sd card

is it possible that a full backup of the system wil work

on ours?

This weekend I'll try to find out if anything [...]

I would suggest to start with checking if there is any file dated same or later than the date when you have placed your order

thanks, I'll look into that. Did find a file 70560201****3456592****100000201 in the root. I'd guess this is a licensekey or something

How is that file called??

This file looks exactly the same as one of those that were used to enter the test mode with firmware previous to 2.007EU. It is definitely not dependant on particular unit (I assume it has 0 size).

I have the Avic F90bt I called Pioneer and they told me that they are about to release a upgrade for that model. It is suppose to upgrade the F-series to a X-series. My only problem is if i get the upgrade would there be a problem since i bypassed the system. Using the hard wire bypass pin 1 to pin 4 that i found on this site.

Also if you all figure out a way to download the software let me know please i love to have it.

I dont think that would be a problem, because as you've wrote its a Hardware bypass. So nothing to do with software.

The unit thinks its on the handbrake all the time.

(I assume it has 0 size).

yes

Any news on it?

Any News..?¿

the software might be locked with the serial number of the SD card... Navionics charts is doing the same.

I ordered my copy and noticed when ordering it that there is a small message that stated the update won't ship until August. I think it will be a while before any of us get the actual update.

Not surprised. Pioneer won't trick me again! I am waiting till this test is well vetted before even considering trying to torrent it.

I want to see:

- what is the bootup time

- have the menus changed?

- how well does bluetooth work - a rapid succession of TWO phone calls. Does it hang for 50 seconds after either call?

- how long does the reverse camera take tp turn on after starting the car?

- is the ipod voice recognition process the same? Do I have to go through the menu to turn it on and off again? Good lord how hard is it to add a small icon in the corner of the ipod source interface that would initiate this process without having to go through crap load of menus?!?!

- when I am in the settings and I press the upper left corner, does it still take me to the source selection (stupid) or does it take me to the actual source? Note that this upper left corner icon performs *different actions* depending on context... its absurd!

- show me the fader/balancer working, is it smooth or is it as absurd as it is with 2.0?

- show me the EQ settings being changed. Its like walking through molasses currently.

- show me selection of songs in SD, the selection of XM radio channels, the selection of artists or genres via ipod? Are they still as painfully slow?

- Can I actually SEE what song is currently on when in ipod/SD/XM mode and in song/preset selection mode? This has got to be the stupidest UI decision EVER. Why should I have to toggle back and forth between modes just to see who is playing, and use the preset mode?

-try to initiate a phone call within 30 seconds of bootup - currently my system "reboots", then takes 2 minutes to finish booting, and ends up putting me in the phone call menu. Just press the button after 10 seconds, or 15 seconds, and it freaks out.

-how long does it take to connect to the phone?

-turn the car off while on a phone call, how long does it take for the phone to kick over to handset mode? Mine takes over a minute, my wife's OEM system takes 2 seconds, if that.

- When you reach your fucking destination, does the damn thing end the route automatically?!?! After it says your destination has been reached it needs to STFU.

- Does it randomly decide to automatically set the route to home, for no reason whatsoever when you turn it on? This may be hard to test since it does it only once a month or so. You know it has happened if you turn it on and before the screen pops up it tells you to take your next left.

- Does the ipod CONSISTENTLY connect when you turn it on? I get about a 60% connect rate despite a brand new cable, and perfectly good ipod touch. Restarting the car is the fix for this. Well after driving for 30 seconds and realizing it didnt connect.

- OH! If the voice recognition does not understand you, does it say "WHATISAT?" That drives me nuts.

Common someone do a torrent allready. Why shoud I pay for this since I just bought the unit 4 months ago. We should all pay me a few bucks and I will do it. Yeah im not a scammer.
