This didnt work for me, got to the part where I choose the upload from sd and it says winzip missing or something like that. I formatted the as card and tried everything but not working. Any suggestions?

double and triple check to make sure you are not missing a step somewhere

I downloaded it and used winzip and transferred it to my sd card. Keyed it on and followed the instructions. Did I miss something? I'm not computer shabby but I think the winzip worked because the icon changed to books rather then a folder

If you use winzip to unzip a rar file you will in most cases encounter a error of some sort. My suggestion would be to unrar it with winrar and the errors should go away as long as you follow the proper steps.

can this be done on any firmware or do you have to be running on a specific firmware? i hate how all of these don't say that information D:

cause i know for regular firmwares you need to do one by one..for instance if you want v4 and you're on v1 you need v2 then v3 then v4...

so...what about this firmware? Thanks!!!

it doesnt matter what version you are running, you just need to run the update to windows, then you are over writing your flash drive with the image of an updated 3.1 flash drive. its not like the system is updating the firmware automatically, your just placing a whole set of system files and erasing the originals...

I wonder if where I downloaded it from caused an issue. I got it off pirate bay. I tried to do everything correctly but still got the issue

Still works! Thanks!

I put the sd card into my Mac to delete the fx3.1 off of it since it didnt work. And it says that it's locked. Maybe that is the problem? Lol

did you slide the lock switch off of the SD card and try it?

Yes it's off.

well thats interesting, I guess it could have something to do with it if it was locked and not allowing the files to be read

How would this work out on a MacBook

Alright I'm downloading again on my desktop. I downloaded winrar as well. The containing folder has the winrar logo (3 books stacked) so I guess it Auto winrar'd it? Anyway do I just drag the containing folder to the sd card, or do I have to open the containing folder and drag a secondary folder to the sd card?

You Fixed my radio! Thank you!!

My Avic F90BT went out last week for the first time.  I'm trying to upload the 3.0 version right now.  It appears it's going to take about 2.5 hours.  Is this normal?

Hey

I did everything as the link above said and i have problem with turning on my AVIC F500 BT

When it turns on (the pionieer start up screen) Its only on for about 3 seconds, then it turns off automatically...

Do you know any solution to the problem that i have?

Thanx alot.

Okay so what I've done is simple, I took what I considered to be the basic mods that would be appealing to almost everyone, without drastically changing the look and feel of the system.

 

This download contains:

Windows CE firmware

X Series 3.0201 update

Complete TA 2009.6 Map Upgrade (USA & Canada)

No nag screens

POI Branding

Speed camera/red light mod

Software speed bypass

 

Download: <!-- m -->http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5546342<!-- m -->

 

You need only a single SD card, at least 2gb in size. Copy the entire contents of the RAR file to the root of SD card.

 

1. Insert SD card into AVIC and turn it on.

2. When the pioneer logo comes up, press and hold the menu, map, eject and the reset buttons at the same time. When your screen goes completely blank, let go of the reset button but continue to hold menu, map, and eject buttons. This will bring you to a blue screen, telling you to reset the unit (ignore this), you will have to enter the service combination. Press the volume knob in this sequence and you will see * signs for each push: Up, Up, Down, Menu, Left, Right.

3. Select Wince Upgrade

4. Select Update SD Format

5. Wait until it says restart in the bottom center. Reset the unit and leave the SD card in.

6. You should be greeted with testmode (It will look very similar to normal windows). Open Explorer and copy the contents of the "My Flash Drive" Folder from the SD card to the "My Flash Drive" that is located on the unit. Overwrite everything. (It will the copying will take 140min but will only take about 20)

7. Press and hold reset for 5 seconds.

8. Select your language and voice options.

9. Enjoy FX3.1

FAQ:

 

How do I extract this rar thing?

<!-- m -->http://www.rarlabs.com/download.htm<!-- m -->

In test mode it says there isn't enough space to copy the files, how come?

This means you didn't select the SD format option in step 4, select everything on the "flash disk" and delete it, then copy your new files over

How do I know if my download completed properly?

The reason I stored everything in the RAR is because Winrar checks to make sure the download is perfect, if it didn't download properly, you would receive an error when extracting.

My unit just keeps booting to test mode?

Take your SD card out and then reset.

Why did my unit take so long to start the first 2 times?

That is normal, all the software is adapting to your AVIC

this does not work on x910bt

thank you so much! tried to delete the gpspara files to fix my constant reboot with no avail this worked great!

Mine starting rebooting again last night and can't find my fx 3.1 file... having trouble with the link, though... is there a new one?

I'm also looking for the FX31 file. Does not seem to be available anymore. Can anyone share again?

I have the comple FX31.rar on my server again. Its 1.71gb in size, and kills my badwidth when its shared and downloaded. If you would like to donate a few bucks to help with the cost of hosting a large download, I would greatly appreciate it.
