Hi,

 

i am going to use this, i own an EU avic f700bt with Firmware v2 installed.

 

What do i need to run this ? Installed the hacked 3.0 firmware or buy the offical one from pioneer?

Read the instructions.

 

Hi, I read the instruction (Diafta's opening post) but it doesn't tell me anything about a required firmware level or "proven to work" models. It is designed for an F500BT.

joepie, i finally found what i was looking for... EU 3.0 firmware : viewtopic.php?f=34&t=26625 it is version 3.000300 ;

will this work with this mod ?

thank you.

Thank you for this wonderful mod, everything looks really good and smooth.

I do run into one problem, the GPS navigationi feature would run fine as long as I do not have any AV source (SD/USB) with media inserted. When it detected a media source and start playing automatically, I cannot get back to the navigation mode; pressing MAP or selecting navigation will only 'beeps' but does not do anything.

Anyone ran into this issue?

- I am running F500BT - v3.00003

Alex,

how do i change the sky image in your mod? i like the big moon in abbs mod and i have hundreds of schemes i downloaded off the forum, can i just rename any of them to pioneer_blue_day or night and swap them out or is it more complicated than this? they are all named aurora_night and such... but seem to have same files inside rar

Hey Diaftia, Have have just one question. When I have a route in and I want to look for a POI it goes to the screen as to where to look for your POI. There are open boxes with nothing in them, can I add an option in there or is that something you have to do? I was wanting to add a hot key for "along route" as well. Thank you

These mods were tested and made on a US based F90BT running 3.01. /quote]

 

Can anyone tell me where to get the 3.01 update. I have checked Pioneer's site under the F90BT, F700BT and the f900BT and only see the 2.06 update. I did a search on AVIC for F90BT 3.01 update and got 53 pages. Hope someone can save me from sifting through all of them. Thanks

Thank you, that page says that it includes the 3.0 update...does it include the 3.01 update as well? Somehow I thought this was a separate download...am I wrong about that?

yes its the 3.01 update. you'll see a 3.02 update around here but thats referring to the EU version.

Hi, Does this mean that performing the steps described in this topic will also update my unit to firmware v3 ?

F700BT EU version.

No, you have to have v3 in order to use these mods.

Here's an interesting find:

I was driving down the freeway today I noticed that the road names were scrolling! They have not done that before even though I had it turned on in the settings. I also notice that this is IN DIRECT CORRELATION with the trip computer and track logs. My trip computer does not work 99% of the time so this was a neat thing to me

I also sat still and went into the GPS/TIME settings and se that the SPEED usually shows movement even when sitting still! I was playing around with turning it off (the GPS setting) and when I clicked it back on the speed finally showed 0.00 MPH...and when I went into the trip computer..it was working!!

There is DEFINATELY a hitch between the GPS speed and those other functions!

Can somebody else confirm this?

Hey, CArver< if you are following this posting can you figure out which file this is in and disect the code string(s)so that it will keep the GPS from showing any movement when sitting still and maybe confirm what I suspect with the trip computer/track log inconsistency?

Thanx!

Bud

I'm using this on my f500 and it is working great except none of my setting are being save when I shut off gps. I read something at the start of this thread. (If you are running an F500, or are using a unit in the EU, then edit the semicolons at the top of the sys.txt file before copying them over to the AVIC). I don't know what this means. Is this my problem. THNX.

I have the mod and the official 3.2 update from pioneer and am using bluetooth but tmc here in uk doesnt now seem to fuction have i missed something on my f900bt it says no traffic events always.

I solved the TMC by reading some other posts if your in UK you need to modify the sys file to EW

HI am unsure which firmware version I have since I reloaded my flash disk.

In your debug settings is says at the bottom: Integrate Version 3.0003

Does this mean I have this version?

I thought I was running V3.01.

Thanx,

Bud

Hi guys,

I need a favour: Can somebody who uses this mod AND has his VSS wire connected switch his GPS off (Navi settings/gps) and see what happens to the speed display on the map?

Mine stays at the speed I had just before switching the GPS off, but my dealer swears that he hooked the VSS up.

Strage thing is in Tunnels or underground car parks the speed seems to match reality.

Thanks

Jörg

I have mine hooked up to the VSS. It too does not track speed with the GPS switched off.

Guess this is another non-working function of this POS.

Otherwise all else works fine.

AFAIK, VSS and gyro are mixed into GPS signal that goes to iGO, so if you switch GPS off, you aren't getting either. If you lose signal (i.e. in the tunnel), VSS and gyro should remain active though.

Thanks Guys, that's what I feared.

Was hoping my VSS was not hooked up and doing so would improve the performance of the Sattelite fix after reboot or the trip computer or...

This is a great mod, bur obviously it cannot compensate all bugs Pioneer managed to built into this System.

yes its the 3.01 update. you'll see a 3.02 update around here but thats referring to the EU version.

Actually 3.02 is the US version. I know because I have the official Pioneer version installed. I think form reading these threads that 3.01 is the EU version.

When I installed the official Pioneer update it showed 3.0020 for my EU device, I'm now running the free update from the EU page which takes it to 3.00202.

I have never seen official versions below 3.002 here in Europe.

I think this might be one of the problems people are having with hacked updates: there are 3.001 and some people say they even have 3.003 which can definately not be a Pioneer update as it was around before the official one. In some "hacked" or "free" update packages people seem to mix pioneer data with CE updates which do not really belong to our devices, just becouse it has a higher release no. it must not be the right CE for us. That was for me the reason to buy the official update, I wanted to have a clean basis to restore if anything goes wrong.

Just my observations from reading a lot in this forum, I'm just a user, tell me if I'm wrong

Bud,

can't say I can confirm, but did some interesting find myself: this morning, voice guidance was mute only (happens often when it was cold outside). The only solution to remedy this is to reboot. Unfortunately, rebooting means I have to turn the ignition off. But after I did this, the trip computer worked!

Now I was wondering: would it be possible to issue a soft-reset from within the application? Perhaps another shortcut on the menu, but I do not know which command to use to issue this reboot command.

In the Testmenu there is this reboot button, but that one calls Restart.exe in the testmode utils.

Anyone has a clue on how to add this to this mod?

Take a look to this threat: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=23158 as in that mod there is a additional menu under navi setting where you can call Reboot.exe to soft-reset the device.

jezzik,

cool, I must have been blind to miss this one. Thanks for pointing out.

Is there a thread that talks about how to edit the locations of the speed cameras. There are several indicated in the gps that don't exist on the actual street. I tried the delete button but that does not seem to work.
