DAMN IT!! I was loving my F90BT and knocking on wood that I have not had any issues with it until yesteraday. I was on the phone with Bluetooth and I ended that call. I then noticed a windows type box in center of screen with a "FATAL ERROR" message. Not thinking, I hit the map button without reading it all and it went away. Shortly after I was sent a text message and I didn't get the "You have a message" notification through the unit. Then I saw the Bluetooth light was flashing. Now I can no longer connect. All settings are good, both bluetooth are on, phone is showing on unit. The unit is unmolested except for the hardwire bypass. Wadaya think?

Can you check the Bluetooth firmware update screen, is the version number showing ?

My bluetooth died and for some reason the bluetooth software got wiped! Reloading the bluetooth firmware fixed it.

Yup, I just checked and the bluetooth (version) software is gone!

Where do I find it and how do I reinstall it?

Please don't leave me hanging guys.... I live a hands free driving area, I need this back.

Figured it out by going to Pioneer website. thanx...

reinstalling should fix your problem. I have decided to carry a disk with all my software, a disk with my current install backup, and a default setup installation disk. yep 3 cheap sd cards in the glove box..... havent had to use them yet..... but I want to be able to do any software fixes from anywhere I stand....
