HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!!!!!
I have been ready to through the post and cannot find any answers.
My unit keeps restarting every 5 mins. Radio plays, dvd plays, NO GPS, then it just restarts back to the slash screen. I have reinstalled 8 times and still the same results. And the top it all off my girl friend threw away my original disc and paper work so i have no way to find the orginal 2008 program.
I dont know what to do. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok im new here if you cant tell from my last post. But im have 2 SD cards to work with. I have the 1st two programs on the 1 card and the other files on the 2nd card. Still no luck. Please tell me what i am missing?
I have a 8gb SD Card and still cant get the program to work. Ijust hung up from Pioneer and they supposely be sending me something. But you guys are already changing the game like MJ. Please some1 HELP ME.
dont get your hopes up mate, i've been trying for a week to get an answer to a very similar problem but noone can be bothered to help...
look: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=30320 - 240 topic views and only one chap has given me the time of day 
you say you've reinstalled a few times? how do you get it to reinstall my system wont re-update since i suppose it can see the same version number...
i just deleted everything from the flash drive like someone else had posted in the thread. but I'm still confuse on the files to put on the flash drive. I put both files on a 8gb SD card and when i try to copy them all over it says the drive doesn't have enough space to load them all. so now i am just going to try to use the files from the 2nd folder only and see what happens.
I got it work. FINALLY!!!!!!!! I didnt use the bypass trick for the data file because it seemed to cause more problems then solution. Use both sets of instuctions and it will work. And the new map upgrades are a very nice touch. I want to learn how to do more mods on the unit. Thanks EVERYONE!
Simple question, why (technically) since I'm having problems with an official update, can I not just download an X910BT v3.01 (US) backup and then use my official autostart F710BT (EU) v3.02 update on it, would that sort all my problems or is it not as simple as that?
so after much dismay i finally got this to work......but i hit the nav and everything is in french......i think the us virgin island map is loaded ...how can i fix this.....i love st thomas but it sure is far from rhode island...thanx for the help!!!!!!
How can you input the software bypass on this? Since when I go into that file it will not archive the change.
Never mind, I will just do the upload, and then replace the new data.zip with my old one.
Hey guys,
Am hoping someone can help me out here and apologies if I have missed a previous post - the only one that showed my problem was something to do with it being bypass and compressing a file... but that's not my case.
I followed the steps in the guide to the letter and have rebooted the F900BT - everything boots without a problem and quickly...
However, the System Startup in Progress box does not disappear - I can access the audio source page (Startup Box Disappears), and get the radio working without a problem, however if I click the Map button, or go in to destination - the "Drive safely warning" appears, but so does the System Startup box... Having the box up means I can't push the ok button and access the Nav...
Has anyone else had the same issue? The only thing I have changed, is I copied the UnitedKingdon.fbl file in to the ALP2 - IGo maps folder - as the maps in the backup I used are all US and Canada - and I'm in the UK. Any ideas?
Would really appreciate anyone's help that can give me a hand!
Cheers!
I'm no expert, but it sounds like what happened to me. It could be that your map is not compatible with iGo 8.3 or that you didn't copy the license across for it.
Does it also reboot after a few minutes? My guess is it does this because it can't load everything (hence the startup message) so reboots to try again.
I fixed it by deleting my old maps and licenses. I've since found current ones and all is well (nav-wise, at least). Also make sure the Device type in sys.txt is correct.
the links on the first page to the torrents do not work anymore. anyone have new links?
Ok so here's my dilema, I've upgraded everything I need too with some help from SootyLad on this forum...
He's using a 710BT and the updates and UK work fine on his unit.
I have taken an exact copy of his install and mods etc, however on my unit, my GPS can see 6 satellites, but they're red, and the when I click the map button, the map is pitch black.
It seems the GPS is failing to locate me and change the map etc?
Anyone got any ideas?

look through the recent pages mate - the files are there...

Yep, they were posted within the last 5 pages somewhere (Gotta work for it if you want it).
Ok, i'm pulling them down but it's super slow... would anyone object if i put them out on one of my web servers so we can pull them down faster?

I found my problem - I was in a crappy signal area for the sat signal, drove down the road and it worked instantly! I cannot believe how much of a difference the upgrades make to the unit - it's actually useable now!
Hi,
Sorry im new to this but i am trying to upgrade my firmware also and used this site as a guide and source for downloads : http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/content/suppo ... 700BT.html , I followed the procedure to update it from V1 to V2 and it worked without problems. but now i am trying to do the same with 3.0 however it fails. i did exactly whats described but the card doesn't seem to be recognized. The system yust boots without updating.
Do i need to follow this guide as well ? i have an European version of the F700BT and live in Holland so is this guide suitable for me ?
My maps are outdated also, how am i able to update those ?
Thanks.
i have had my 900bt for nearly a year and it came with 2.0 installed. i just got used to the little issues cause i didnt know how in depth you could go with the software mods.
a friend clued me into the 3.0 update and gave me all the files except he forgot the data.zip file. i already started the update stuff and i cant use torrents at work. i would like to have a functional stereo for my trip to the valley today, can someone email the data file to me if it isnt to large? i have everything else.
put the two files i found in this thread in my dropbox.
you can pull them from here, not sure how long i'll leave them there, but at least for now the will be there until i move them over to one of my web servers...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1314946/3.0%20Update.part2.rar
hope that helps, should be fairly fast....
actually i just looked at those two files and they just contain all the files in them uncompressed, not sure if that would work or not, most i've read on here says the files have to be zip format, but these rar files do not contain any zips...
everything seems to fully functional. sounds are different and icons changed a little, he might have replaced the data file so i could just replace everything on the flash drive.
either way, great info, thanks!
