Contains minor corrections & bug fixes nothing spectacular, seems to also update wince.

So this is basically the same as 3.0 for the F910?

Just downloaded it. It's 111 MB and not 209 MB like is says on the site.

Weird

I don't know yet, I downloaded it but it will not unzip because Pioneer screwed up the file, they have only posted one part of a multipart zip, I have been on the phone to Pioneer Belgium and they are going to fix it soon.

My initial thought is that it is just a wince and apl update no APL2 or maps.

Hmmmm, well I'll wait then. Getting my Golf VI next week with the avic-f900bt in it

It looks like they have fixed the file, downloading it now.

Yeah, it's 210 MB now

There is APL2 in the download.

There is are igo APL2 files to in the download.

It will be interesting to compare it with the previous version, I am at work at the moment so can't compare.

No maps though

WTF??? That's the second time my post disappeared from the forum?!?!?!?!

It isn't anymore, what I wrote has been already mentioned here by now

ovalball, you can get it from pioneer.eu

Brian, can you confirm this is similar to the 3.0 update for the F910? What version of Igo is on this update?

Thnx

Is there something to do with the ezrider so we can put the newest maps in the device?

Ezrider is the same as the firmware 2007000 (iGO8.0xxx). Nothing like 3010100 (iGO8.3xxx) for the F910/710.

No compatability with ver3, this is just Pioneers slow ongoing attempt to tidy up very sloppy code, I expect they will get bored soon and design something else to frustrate us all with

Hmmm, so I'm getting my F900BT with old software. Should I use this upgrade or the 3.0 that is used for the F910BT?

Thnx

Only you can decide whether to upgrade or use V3 for the F910, I tried the ver3 which Avic-weo kindly made available for us and used it with the F910 update from the Pioneer Europe site, it worked with the exception that my maps all had large square areas of blue background on them, I have not yet figured out whether I have a compatability issue with my F900Bt and this firmware combination or not.

Oh ok. But what I'm concerned about most is the slow reaction-time. I've read that the 3.0 fixed that problem and that reaction time of touchscreen is really good. Any idea if this update fixed that as well?

Good luck with the squares!

The reaction time is fixed by installing the Wince files that are in the F910 update on the Pioneer europe site.

Do a search on here and you will see how to do it, if you are just updating the Wince take care to choose the update Wince without format option otherwise you will delete all your current files from yor flash.

Yeah I'm aware of how to do the update to 3.0 (plenty of how to's) but I was under the impression that if I use the WinCE from 3.0 I'd have to copy the APL folder from that download as well. I'll keep my own APL2 with a hacked EZ rider and new maps (8.0)

So from that post I'll assume that I can simply update the WinCe (3.0) without copying the APL folder over.

Yes you can just update Wince, make sure you are using the hacked ezrider in your APL2 or it does not permit you to enter the navigation mode after the update.

I just re read your last post, you will be ok as you already have the hacked ezrider, just do the wince update and you will see better key response times, start up is infortunately still about a week long

Do not use the update with format option, use the without format.

I updated the Wince and installed the hacked Ezrider.Unit very much improved.If i now install this latest OFFICIAL update will go back to been a donkey again?
