As others have said, I recommend doing a "select all/delete" on your current flash disk contents before copying over the new files. When I did the install the first time, just copying the new files over without deleting the old files, I would have issues with playing mp3s from the SD card and also really slow or non working steering wheel controls. I reinstalled, deleting the old flash disk files first, and everything works great now.

My bluetooth is working a lot better with the 3.0. I'm not saying it has a bluetooth update in it because i dont know for sure but my HTC phone had a lot of problems with the unit before. Although I don't know if it was my phone's fault (many htc users had trouble) or the navi i DID have a lot of trouble with the call not ending after hangup, the pickup/hangup buttons not coming up, phone book not conecting without extra firmware. After the 3.0 i didnt change anything on my phone. Yet the nav automatically imported my contacts without any firmware needed. And still after days of usage, the bluetooth has had no new troubles. =D

+1 ...since the 3.0 update when I end a call either on my phone directly or using the nav it ends right away. Before, it would take 30-45 seconds for my ipod/radio to come back on.

 

Also noticed that if I am using my nav in route and I make a call, the amount of space the call info takes is much smaller! Instead of taking the bottom third of my navy screen, the call box has been reduced to a small square off to the side.

 

Definitely happy!

omg batman, this update is the shit. one problem i was having was the ipod nav buttons were ass to use. you had to make sure you touched exactly the white arrows to get it to switch tracks. now its great. i just finished the 3.0.10 update (or whatever it is) and its working fine. i just dont have my european maps, which does indeed suck.

Retell, you rock! Install went smooth, other than my screen being misaligned so I couldn't get the top menu buttons in WinCE. Thank God for people like you who go out of their way to help others! My hats off to you. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

 

Dear Pioneer, for about a year I have been struggling with this unit. Quite a few times my frustration bubbled over and my fist was close to smashing through it. Didn't any of your staff have it in their cars? This experience has sullied Pioneer's name in my mind. That being said, the unit now operates properly.

That comes up a lot. If you ever go into testmode, the FIRST thing you should do is open Control Panel and run the Stylus Calibration utility. The process takes perhaps 30 seconds and eliminates all problems with clicking anywhere on the screen.

Of coarse! I was so focused on continuing the process I dragged and dropped and used the keyboard option. Next time I'm in there, I'll configure. Thanks.

then start over at step one... and copy the correct files to the proper place... you need to UNZIP the .zip file with WINRAR (www.rarlab.com) and then follow the instructions in the link above.

Copy the files inside that zip file into the "\my flash disk".... it should look like this:

But first delete everything that is in your "\My Flash Disk" .....then copy the files over... be sure to copy the files INSIDE "My Flash Disk" from the SD card and not the folder "My Flash Disk"...

but there is only that one x910 file ???

Posted Aug 01, 2009 · 01:33 UTC#369

Did u unzip it???

I think you better do a little more reading before you really hose your unit. The instructions are very simple. There are too many posts about on how to do this. I know it can be frustrating, but follow the instructions carefully and you will be fine...print them out.. Here is a good guide

Just finished this upgrade, THANK YOU!!!! This was the easiest upgrade I ever did. Tomorrow I will tackle getting to 3.01. I'm just thankful for Heads up mode in 2d, this was my only complaint about my f900.
