Hi,
Bought my F900BT in june 2008, and got the update for free
The shop where I bought the deck, gave me call..
Sir, you were complaining about the AVIC F900BT?? You have to come over..
Pioneer released a new version.. The F910BT. Same hardware, other firmware.
We got the upgrade SD-cards from Pioneer, so we can solve all the issues with the problem cases!
So I went to the store and got the upgrade/update totally for free.
SD Card 1 was for updating the firmware
SD Card 2 was for updating the maps
And yes, it was in the Netherlands!
Now I have the 910 version running and I have to say: what a major difference
Screen is responding a lot better, little irritations are solved (white text on light background got a blue background, callerscreen in front of navi-dashboard moved to the right in a small box, navi 3d buttons are extended with a close button, added 2d navi with driving direction on top, etc etc), even the steeringwheel control has now the funtionality to switch between the radio stations which are stored in memory. Oh, and the audioquality of mp3@SD improved a lot. Now it's fun to use the sd for music!
The navigation is also a lot better. They have added roadsigns! very easy now to recognize the correct direction.
Try to contact your local store... I'm very happy with the avic now!
I didn't have the possibility to copy the upgrade cards, sorry.
Regards, Quappo
