Poor man, I feel sorry for you. You have 5 cars with 5 F700BTs but only one SD-Card. How dare they, to let you buy 5 SD-Cards?

That is my thread and no no no. He is still running 2.0 software if he bought the maps update SD card. What you need to do is update 2.0 to 3.0 on all your systems which Pioneer called a map update but in reality the 3.0 update was a huge performance upgrade too.
This thread explains how to update to 3.0 and give you kind of new maps
After that you can update again from the Pioneer update to the absolute newest version
THEN
You can get the newest maps possible from my thread you posted but not before.
And because maps are licensed from map manufacturers, you have to pay (a very reasonable) licensing fee to use them. On every device.
There ain't free lunches in life, although sometimes you can steal one.

Won't to anything at all, most likely.
This is for real.
My Honda dealer does that trick. To update for free for their customers.
When you put an empty sd card in your unit and read it on your pc you'll see that that the "device.nng"file is written on your sd.
In that way the update card should be blocked for more updates on different units.
Just delete it it does no harm.
Doesn't the update ask for a password that is generated from an applet on the Pioneer website? How would deleting that file negate the need for that password?
AHA, I think it works in a different way in europe then.
We dont need passwords via a website. Just two sd cards and ready to go.
But the password is just generated with the serial number of the unit (no ref to the SD card), hence when the system accepts the SD card (this is forced by removing device.nng) it should work.
Let us know!

i had the x910 myflashdisk image loaded on my f7010bt... updated to 3.01 using the xseries update.. i "borrowed" the official update from a friend of mine just to see what happened .. SD1 doesnt have any updates if ur already at 3.01.. but if you boot ur avic with the SD2 in it.. no password.. no nothing.. it just updated.. im running 3.02 on mine now..
*cough* what was i suppose to do?? once i saw that it worked its not like i could turn my avic off and stop the update =P *cough*

The password is generated from the Unit ID number. But, you still have to enter the Media ID for the generator to spew out the Unit-based password. And, if the Media ID has been used already, it won't create the Unit-based password. At least that's how it works for the US update SD's and password generator.
