And lastly, the parking braking bypass does *not* work anymore with the new system update, despite the connections screen showing the parking brake as ON. Portions of the navigation and phone menu will automatically be grayed out once the vehicle is in motion faster than 5-10mph.

 

Wow, what douchebags. Why the hell do they go to such lengths to prevent us enjoying their product? Guess I won't be upgrading then. At least not until somebody finds a work-around.

Hopefully one of us can come up with a bypass soon.

Hello

Im using the F310BT which is similar to the U310BT and I have also updated with CNSD130FM

BUT I can watch movies while im driving...

I connected the Handbrake cable to a screw as Ground. The F310BT thinks my Handbrake is blocked and everything works.

Odd. I have the parking brake wire grounded as well, but once I'm moving some items will get grayed out. If the video player is running, the video will pause and the screen will blank out once I start moving, and will resume again once I stop or slow down. They must have forgot to correct the bypass on the F310BT update.

Hopefully.. I'm wondering if the relay method would work.

I've also found that it doesn't entirely block all items from the navigation and phone menu. It seems to only block items that require inputting, such as entering addresses or using the dialpad. So it's not entirely unusable. You can still access your destination history, favorite addresses, phone contacts, recieved and dialed numbers.. while you're driving.

That's not so bad then. Really have no interest in watching video while driving and see few times when I would need to input a new address while driving. Will it let you look up POI's?

Thanks

What about searching for POIs? I'm guessing that's a no.....

I haven't fully tested the POI portion while moving, but it does let you choose it, however the only option it lets you choose is "Nearby By" POIs. I haven't gone further than that. I'm assuming it will let you browse and select POIs from the catagories, but won't let you search for a specific business or place.

Well, that's better than I expected but still a bit frustrating. Thanks for the info!

I just got the z120bt and installed the relay. I am getting an error saying that the park g break isn't correctly connected and now it grays out the certain areas when moving and won't allow video ... Anyone get the relay to work with this model????

I would try posting the question in the Z120BT forum. Hopefully someone will be able help you out there.

In case anyone is still wondering on an update on the POI update fix, here is the latest e-mail I've received from Pioneer...

"Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics, Inc.

The engineers are aware of this issue. They are close to coming out with a resolution. There is not ETA yet, but should be soon.

Your information has been captured under case # 280XXX. You will be notified when there is a resolution."

HI GUYS, CAN YOU GIVE ME THE CONTENT OF THE SD CARD NAMED CNSD-130FM, FOR PIONEER F310BT? PLEASE!!!!!!!

No way, this card has 4GB and its Password protected. U Have to write down ur Devicenumber and then u need the Pioneers PIN which is in the Card Box. Then u have to go online and generate a new PIN of the Devicenumber and the Pioneer Pin.

any updates on the fix? I've not bought the card yet due to the issue.

If I were you guys I would probably be pissed enough to demand pioneer to send me the other POI card they have, since they have not solve the problem.

It looks like Pioneer is selling the SD card on their website again, does anyone know if the POI now work?

I installed the CNSD-130FM Update . . . UI is updated and the POIs are working!

First I installed the Map Update with the included 4GB SD card. I used the Device ID and the Media # included with the SD Card to get the first password from Pioneer.

Install was simple and everything worked perfectly. The new interface is excellent, BTW.

After I updated the that software, I followed the instructions from on Pioneer's Update page for the POIs. I've posted them below.

Attention: Applicable for (2) Pioneer navigation models only: AVIC-U220 or AVIC-U310BT

 

The following applies to the AVIC-U310BT only, AVIC-U220 owners go to step 1 below.

 

Do not attempt to download this POI data onto the Mapping SD Card before updating the AVIC-U310BT map software.

 

Once the mapping upgrade has completed, install the POI data for 2010 using a separate (1 GB Min) SD Card, not the Map SD Card.

 

Attempts to download the optional POI Data for 2010 on other than listed navigation models, can result in operating system failure of your navigation unit. Those units will need to be sent to Pioneer Service at the owner expense for repair.

 

Step 1

 

Download the "Optional POI data for 2010" file by clicking here. Once you have downloaded the file to your computer, locate the file on your computer and double click the file to decompress it. If you do not have a decompression utility installed on your computer, you can download WinZip at http://www.winzip.com (purchase may be required).

 

Step 2

 

Open the file and copy the "NDB" folder and "CARDINFO.CRF" file onto the root of the SD Card.

 

*Note: Ensure this file is located on the top layer of the SD Card.

 

Make sure that the SD Card follows these requirements: - Greater then 512MB.

Thankfully I had an extra SD card. After copying the files to it, I inserted it into the unit and was prompted for another password. I entered the Device ID and the POI Media # (also included in the CNSD-130FM SD card package) on Pioneer's website and got my second password. It quickly updated and I now have a ton of POIs and new categories!

Not only does it finally include a Restaurant Category, it contains all of the Restaurant Sub-Categories now (American, Chinese, Mexican, etc.)

What are the exact steps you took?

I've just tried downloading the file again from Pioneer's update page and I still get the "Cannot be used with this version" message. The link on my update page points to a file named AVIC-U220_POI.zip, which seems to be the update data for the U220. Is that the same file you've downloaded?

I've bought this card way too long ago and would be really nice to finally have the POIs working.

Thanks.

I followed the steps above to a tee.

The file I downloaded was also titled AVIC-U220_POI.zip

I copied the "NDB" folder and "CARDINFO.CRF" onto a blank formatted 4GB card I had.

I used the password that Pioneer's site generated when I entered my Device ID (from the device) and Media ID (from the sheet of paper in the box titled "Media Number Card, Model# Optional POI for 2010 MAP CNSD-130FM/UC.")

Once it copied over I installed it in the device. It asked for the password and it restarted. Nothing else needed to be done after that.

Very odd... I've followed the steps on the Pioneer update page exactly also. Pioneer must have changed something on the newer cards to accept the update file (if yours was purchased recently). Hopefully they'll have a fix soon for those of us who still have the error.

Were you using a different/blank SD card for the POIs? After I installed the MAP update from the included SD card, I never used that card again.

The POIs were copied to my own blank card as instructed by Pioneer.

Yep. I transferred all of the contents from the AVIC-U220_POI.zip file to a completely different card.

Just got my update delivered from Pioneer Canada.

Installed smoothly but really did take about 20 minutes. My connected iPod continued to play throughout the update!

POIs were also added, but the SD card with the POIs has to be kept in the unit to use them. Not a biggie. I had a 2GB card available.

Haven't played with the interface that much, some things have changed, others have not.

I have the parking brake grounded but some menus do indeed disable when the vehicle is moving. I've seen mostly settings menus turn off.

I was able to choose a poi and make a phone call from my contact list. I suspect that entering an address or dialling a number no longer work while moving.

It's a bit annoying as my passenger could/should be able to enter this. But the lawyers obviously got involved. I'm glad that I didn't buy the previous poi update.

I don't feel to bad about paying for a software update, map update and additional POIs for $115.

Would anyone be willing to host or create a torrent of the SD card? I know that there is already a hack for the z110 and I believe that it uses the same map software. If I can get my hands on the contents of the SD card I will try my hardest to get it working for everyone.

I would also like the file. I just got the U220 unit and it claims that there is a free update for the POIs once I've registered. Well, I registered and there is nothing about it anywhere. I tried to find an email to contact Pioneer but it's broken. [http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Support/Contact]

Anyone know where I can find the file? Thanks

Pioneer just sent an email about the availability of new 2010 Maps and additional POI in single SD card.

 

Not sure howmany will buy this at $120, but it seems it is better option than just buying POIs for $100.

Did anyone notice that the instructions say the "CARDINFO.CRF" file, but the file I see has a file extension of "CIF". How about yours?
