Guys - I have downloaded the x910bt.zip file which opens as IDT_v3.5. Are these instructions posted in this post the instructions I need to do the install?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

I need to know this too. Thanks!

 

read the first post in this thread, those are the 3.0 upgrade instructions.

Will this only install the 3.0 firmware, or does it update the maps as well?

the first post in this thread describes how to update the WinCE image, update the Pioneer software and lastly update the maps to 2008.10. All that together is considered the 3.0 update.

Please help

I followed the instructions from the OP, but one I preform the last step the splash screen comes on and then the screen goes blank.

I was confused on step 12, so maybe I did something wrong.

I have no mods to the system.

It is the f700bt

Any ideas?

Thanks

Do someone know where to find the european Install guide???????????

Is that for all units or only EU or US?

 

The torrent is for US+Canada.

Never mind, got it working

thanks again

It seens that the torrent file is out of work! It opens a page with a lot of numbers and corrupted data...

anyone has another link?!?!?!

and this guide will work clearly to F500BT ?

thanks !!! =]

I did the procedure, the unit starts and in the menu (route, contacts & audio) a box in the bottom says 'system startup in progress' and then it chrashes and restarts the system after app. 5 min...

Anyone tried the same, who can help me fix this??? (im using a EU unit). Pls help

I´m looking for the 3.0 firmware for an european unit also........but I think this post is for USA/canada units............

Worked like a charm. Thanks OP!

Will this work on the F500BT?

Please help:

I've got Pioneer AVIC f900bt apparatus (Hungary), her 2005 version.

how to replace version 3.0? I downloaded a crack version of this page, you may not be well connected. Please help: someone put up a good torrent site in the 3.0 version, and PLEASE send the link.

And describe how it can transform the current version of 2:05 to version 3.0.

Thank you for your help!

Can someone hop on the seed for the torrent? I will seed it for everyone after I get the whole thing. I have a file server that is up 24/7 with a 2mbit upload.

Ok, I'm on the seed now. Through the magic of the internets, it appeared on my hard drive somehow.

So.. download. go go go!!!

I need HELP badly!

I tried the upgrade, ran into an error and now the unit just turns off after the Pioneer splash screen. I was able to perform all steps up to copying the 'My Flashdisk' contents over. At that point it kept giving me errors such as cannot copy Canada.3dl, USA_Arizona.3dl, another, another... etc. After clicking cancel multiple times I was finally able to stop the copy process. I thought perhaps I had corrupt files so I switched off the car and went to re-download the files. After loading up the SD card again I went back to the car and that's when I noticed it was turning off after the splash screen. This wouldn't allow me to boot into testmode/WinCE so I tried starting all over again from the beginning. It still doesn't work and now when I try to do the Menu-Map-Eject-Reset it doesn't even ask me for the Up-Up-Down-Menu-Left-Right password, it just goes on to the menu. Not sure if it is supposed to do that because I performed the initial part of the upgrade successfully or if that points to another issue. Is there any way I can fix this or format the unit in some way and get it back to 2.0?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Did you use the hacked version or the official update? I had the same problem when I installed the official update. As soon as I put the hacked version in, all was good. From what I see, is that the official version does not format the flash disk whereas the hacked version does. You could have some older previous mods conflicting with the update.

This is the hacked version on a brand new F700BT with no mods. I was able to get into WINCE the first time and started copying the 'My Flashdisk' files over but got the 'cannot copy file errors'.

dumpfiles?? Try to reinstall it again and follow the directions to a 'T'. Something did not copy over right! One other thing that you can do is to just copy the entire 'my flashdisk' that is in the IDT_v3.5 folder and then overwrite your 'My flashdisk' and then try it. Just overwrite everything.

That's exactly what I did and something must have been off since I was getting the copy errors. Problem is I cannot even get it to boot into testmode/WinCE anymore so I can't retry copying the files over. The only place I can get into is the bluescreen menu where I can do the Update SD (Format). I have tried unzipping and copying the files various ways in MAC and Windows with the same results. I have to find a way to get back into WINCE to copy the 'My Flashdisk' files over.

I completed the install successfully(I think). Very happy with the results.

Thanks to everyone who offered their input to make this possible.

Quick question, after the install I also installed the 3.1 version from the pioneer website.

It is running fine, but I noticed on the main page that I don't get the "dings" anymore. Really, the only time I hear the "dings" is when I'm in the navigation portion of the system.

When I press the button for voice command it will still make the "ding" sound.

Not that this is a bad thing, because the "ding" sound is kind of annoying, but I'm just wondering if everything copied correctly.

Thanks

I got it working! After numerous attempts at formatting the sd cards and copying the files over I finally got it to boot back into WinCE. I copied both WinCE files along with the 'testmode' directory onto the same sd card. After booting into the blue screen service menu and running 'Upgrade SD Format' I left the sd card in and pressed reset. It then continued to boot into WinCE where I was able to copy over all the 3.0 flashdisk files. After that I was also able to successfully update the unit to 3.01 off the Pioneer site.

Thanks to those who who supplied me with suggestions for my problem and this site for being available to us Pioneer owners.

Hmmm... I know I am pretty late on this, but every time I get to step 6 where i choose WINCE by SD/MMC (Format) or "Choice 0" on the list, I get a red box at the bottom that says "SDMMC Update fail!!! Any key to continue" I never see where it tells me to restart at the bottom center of the screen. I have tried it the long way with only the two winceimg files on the sd card and the "condensed" way with putting all the files on the root of the folder. Neither way worked. I am running a hacked data.zip file right now with the speed bypass and a couple other things and I'm not sure if that matters or not. I'm at a complete loss right now. I'm not a complete noob with modding my radio, but I can't get to step 7. Any help is appreciated.

By the way, I'm running an F700bt with a MacBook as my computer to drop files to the SD card which has already been formatted to FAT32.

Thanks in advance.

Worked great for me! However, I do have an issue. The reason I did this was because ever since Daylight Savings time hit, I have been unable to enter an address for the GPS, change the navigation settings, or change the system settings. I called the guy that did my install, and he says that everything should be fine because he hooked the parking brake wire up to a ground. He said it was a software issue. I did this update, officially have 3.0 (bye bye mods ) and still have the same problem. Anyone have any ideas on what may be causing this and how to fix it? I am assuming it is just the parking brake wire, but hoping its easier then that seeing as how this was a custom fiberglass install.

Does anyone have any idea on what could be causing the problem I described. I can't for the life of me figure out why it keeps telling me upgrade failed before I even start the actual upgrade process.

I cant download de torrent file... its not working... any one has another alternative download site or torrent?

and this process works on F500BT ?

until now I couldnt put my brazilian maps on my unit... this x910bt ezrider file is my salvation! (rsrsr)

thanks!!!

It's only day one but everything went smoothly. I had just got my unit back from pioneer on Wednesday and on the repair ticket they had mentioned that they replaced the GPS board. I figured before I put it back in the car, I'd do the upgrade and as per instruction it worked flawlessly. I sent it back for repair on the tts and bluetoth errors I was getting before the warranty expired. It seems that I have a new msn direct key that was not activated so i went ahead and got the 3 month trial. It worked out cause my current subscription expires this month. I'm wondering if the upgrade had anything to do with the new key or was it branded into the new GPS board that pioneer had replaced. I was a little weary about the upgrade because the last time I did an upgrade I bricked my friends D1 and since have been trying to find new ways to fix it. It will program everything but the GPS software, it says GPS=NG if anyone has any suggestions. You guys are the best! I think i'll stick with the 3.0 for now and not do the 3.1 to stay on the safe side. thanks again!
