I too have a F910BT (same as F710BT). Tasman, did you use the pioneer firmware from this thread, or the one for your model? thanks, need to get mine sorted for next weeks holiday!!

I left a message yesterday but it seems to be missing, soz. Yes I did use firmware here but had to flah my disc as described in the general board like I mentioned in my post using the WinCE files included in the download here. I is also important I feel that you use a windows machine not a mac. PS you won't need to flash your disc if you can unmount it as described here bu I could not.

so has anyone been successful with this process on the F700BT?

Hi everybody.

I’ve spent days crying at the (sadly known) boot-loop problem with my AVIC F700BT.

And even more days at the PC screen trying to find out a solution.

Tried many fixes that were looking nice.

But all failed.

And this one worked.

Thank you so much vitorvieira (may I call you vitor ?? )

Just one short modification (for me at least):

At the step:

Dismount "DSK1" and then click on "NEW" and name it "My Flash Disk".

I could not create “new†and name it as requested.

Then I’ve tried the only other option offered.

Which was to “format†the DSK1(or “delete†? Sorry, I’m writing here from memory, I don’t dare launching these wizard tricks again. I’m too happy that it works now).

And I also had to use firmware found on Pionner site rather than the one listed here.

Sorry, I’m no specialist at all.

And honestly, I have no clue what “dismounting “means.

I just know it worked and that I’m so greatful.

Thanks again Vitor.

Whoever you trust in, may he (she) bless you.

Please let me know your e-mail address and I’ll send you small present.

(or: you come to Belgium using your GPS and I offer you as many beers as you can drink).

(there you know who I trust in )

Hi

Yes it did with mine.

See my post above.

(nb: as often written on forums: "it worked for me. I can"t take any responsibility for others")

Good luck.

To all the others that asked me some questions, i want to apologize for not being able to answer. I'm not an expert...I'm just a guy that had a bricked unit, just like you, and didn't rest until i figured how to save my investment.

I'm very happy to see that i could help you!

Cheers from Portugal

installed on my avic-f700bt with success

...great forum...first post...

I also have an F900BT...and it's rebooting...have tried various different solutions to fix this problem...but all ultimately fail...

...this looks like a great thread, and special thanks to the OP for taking the time to help others - I've downloaded and extracted all the files to SD cards...question though - before I try this, does anyone know if this will work if you have Version 2.0090000 currently installed?...the reason I'm asking is that the Pioneer web site suggests that if you upgrade to Version 3 (which this seems to do) without first having CNSD-100FM installed it will totaly brick the unit?

Cheers

i tried to download the files from http://213.244.172.244/files/support/avic_apl_upgrade/AVIC-F700900/09%20model/AVIC_F700BT_F900BT_CNSD100FM_VER_3020200.zip ,

i did this several times and was timed out ..any suggestions or alternative links

and when this is installed where would i get us and canada maps...this is only for europe..thanks

Seems like pioneer have moved servers

heres the working link http://85.112.25.57/files/support/avic_apl_upgrade/AVIC-F700900/09%20model/AVIC_F700BT_F900BT_CNSD100FM_VER_3020200.zip

...well, finally plucked up the courage to try this...and it worked (thanks and total respect to the OP)...but only for a day!!!...did everything as noted, and for a day I had super fast tough screen control, the latest maps, no booting problems, etc...but when I turned the ignition this morning - nothing...I'm now at the point that I'm convinced this unit is never goinna work (has anyone ever had a F900BT that has worked as intended without any problems?)...

...I've now tried every solution to get this re-booting issue fixed, and I'm out of patience...

...right now I feel like stripping this piece of utter crap out of my car, smashing it into as many pieces as possible, and sending it back to Pioneer with a note telling them that this is what I think of their product, their customer support and their after sales service...

...anyone got any recommendations for a replacement unit in the £300-£400 price range?...that isn't a crap Pioneer?

@roverguy,

well it's a rover and it's over...

anyway your problem is probably disk full. go into testmode and try to delete some countries you will never visit to free up some disk space.

..hey there bitman...thanks for replying...

...not memory issue...tried that earlier...however...turned out the unit is still covered by warranty...and also turns out that it isn't an issue with the unit per se after all...took it back to the dealer and it seems as if there is a known problem with certain car electronic management systems sending signals to the unit telling it when to turn on and off (or rather not sending)...not Pioneer software, hardware, memory, installation, handbrake byepass, reverse camera, WinCE update, GPS temorary file issue, etc...

...since it's covered by warranty they'll take care of it, but if it hadn't, it seems as if the solution is to fit a byepass switch that would enable the unit to be switched on and off by the driver direct from the fusebox rather than through the ignition...which may actually be a good thing...as long as you remember to turn it off...

...this is worrying for all those folks out there who have sold on 'bricked' units for buttons which in fact are only incompatible with their particular cars management system, with the next owners car perhaps being fully compatible with the Pioneer system...it'll work fine in their cars...a perfectly operational £900 unit for next to nothing...

You're almost my hero.

Just 1 problem, after dismounting DSK1 i can't create a new partition.

Do i need to format the DSK?

Thx

Thanx to Vitormvieira i'm almost able to update my avic.

I've copied all the files from the backup to my avic but when i'm trying to update my firmware, i'm facing this screen (in attachement).

Does anybody has any idee what to do next, it tells me that i'm using incorrect software?

As written by vitormvieira (can't find his link) i need to update my firmware with the update on pioneers website (100FM).
