Had an e-mail from Pioneer UK yesterday letting me know there is a new update. No doubt pricey and difficult to find:

http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/products/25 ... g_SHOP0710

Anyone got their hands on this yet?

Will it change the screen view to match the pictures on the website? I already have the CNSD - 100FM installed which has given me version 3 of the software.

Wow, great find! I was just wondering if Pioneer was planning to release new software for the F series. Those screenshots look very different than what I am familiar with on my AVIC-F90BT.

Anyone heard if Pioneer plans to bring CNSD-200FM stateside? Although, I don't see the AVIC-F90BT in the list of supported devices on the UK website...

Just got this e-mail from Pioneer; for $120, I think I'll pass...

screw the map update... i want a firmware update

i just received an email stating that it is now available here in the US. here is the purchase link:

anyone want to kindly donate $120 to me?

im still waiting for the firmware that allows my bluetooth to work properly with my iphone...last upgrade helped, but still buggy.

definitely not paying $120 for map updates, they still need to fix up lots of maps and directions in jersey before I shell out any more money.

I just got mine on order, have the 910BT model in my little smart car, and would like the graphics changes for the navigation. I'll post back on the results. I've done the bluetooth with my HTC Imagio, but have the new Iphone 4 so we'll see how that works as well. Haven't had issues with it yet on the current firmware, the most recent download I found in May...

If I have two 910BT units do I need to buy two SD card or can i make copy of the one ?

I got the email today and just started to laugh! The last update messed up my F700 more than it improved it! No thanks...

Does anyone know what the update actually includes ?

Its not just the geo-data, as it seems that the user-interface was changed as well (at least the UK link shows some very different graphics than what I have ..) so maybe this is a firmeware update as well ?

Thanks

I have three units and have the same question.

I bet I know the answer.

Has anyone gotten this installed yet? Any news on the possible interface enhancements?

The picture in the link on the first post is not of the previous F series and is the wrong picture. That picture is from the F110/120BT and uses completely different software. This is just a map upgrade and there will be no future interface enhancements for these units.

I bet though that these map upgrades are the 2009.06 Teleatlas map updates which most of us already got.

I'm still running firmware 2.x on my AVIC-F90BT. Can anyone confirm CNSD-200FM includes the latest 3.x firmware as well even if there are no new updates besides map data? Thank you.

Yes.

I was searching for whats included in this update and found this:

Just be aware the screen images are still of the F10/20BT and you will not get the new interface of those units.

And you know this for a fact? you must have applied the update... pic's please...

Yes, I know this for a fact.

Do we know when this will be ready in europe? Checked my "store" and they say they havn't heard anything yet.

Yep it says that on the site:

If you own an AVIC-F710BT or AVIC-F910BT/F9110BT, your software or interface doesn’t need updating. The CNSD-200FM will however install the latest map data.

But how much of a change has the map update provided?

And

will we not get this:

Faster touch panel response

With each successive year, our engineers strike to make features better and faster. This software will make the on-screen reaction to your commands even quicker.

My unit is so slow and unresponsive sometimes..........

Yes, I read that part...

What about the software updates for the BT900 & BT90's??? what do they consist of? just the same from the BT910 V3 or newer???

I wish people would stop sayin' "it's not like the photos" and give some info for the subject...

So, as long as people keep sayin' it's not like the photos... I'm gonna keep askin'!!!!

So, what are the software updates?????????????????????????????

No one that I know has gotten this........I want to know all that I can before I shell out $$$ for it especially 120!

So, what are the software updates?????????????????????????????

There are no software updates. You don't have to believe what your told on this forum. Just buy the upgrade and find out for yourself.

These are all of the improvements that were given with the 3.0 software upgrade a year ago. If your still on 2.0 then yes, you will see these improvements. If your already on 3.0, you already have them.
