Couple of simple questions I didn't see asked before....

 

I bricked my F7010BT, but got it working again cause you guys are awesome!

Running the 3.0 firmware like a charm!!!

 

anyway, I never had my stuff backed up so it was lost. I want to know...

 

1. Is there a way to edit my favorites (Destinations) on my PC and then transfer them to Unit via SD card?

2. How can I do the same with the POI? I have that Avic feeds software, but the unit doesn't want to grab

the POI's off the SD card.

3. Being that it is someone else's backup, is there a way to get MSN direct working? I'll pay the $30

for the last 2 years it'll be around, I just wanna know if I still have a unique serial# to the unit...

 

Thanks in advance!!!

 

Also, if anyone has any problems reviving their lost unit, I'll help ya out. I went through tons of threads and figured it out. I did the leg work so just ask ;)

1. Maybe AVIC FEEDS

 

2. You have to read the POI from the card. They will not be transferred to the unit. As long as your using the software correctly, there should be no problem.

 

3. The unit should have a unique MSN product key but I cant say for sure. Use the key it provides and see what happens.

Avic feeds only does POI. No favorites that I can see....

 

Sucks the SD card has to stay in. Anyone know of a way to put it in the flash memory?

 

I tried doin the status to get the id number, and it just stays on locating MSN or somehting.

Do I need another antenna for the MSN? I have a F7010BT.

The 700/7010 series don't have MSN, you need the 9 series units.

You can take the .KML files you have on the SD card and copy them to and copy them to:apl2/igo/content/userdatea/POI. The userdata/poi folders will need to be created if you don't have them. However I do not recommend this approach as I have seen issues with slow system response and memory errors with this proceeder. Its best to just use the SD card.

Good point. The POI's arent that important to sacrifice unit speed.

 

All in all, it runs great now that I got the new firmware in it.

 

Have to give many props to a lot of different people here, not just 1 or 2....

 

I went from having a radio that I HATED that then bricked, to a radio that I LOVE!!

So is it a hardware thing? I am running software from a 9 series and it works great.

There is no MSN tuner built in to 7 series units.
