I'm about to finally cough up the £120 for an official pioneer update card to get the latest version 4.0.
Question i have is basically, how old is this update? Will pioneer shortly be releasing another update? (i can wait if there is one in the pipeline-soonish)
I've e-mailed pioneer but they haven't responded to an e-mail sent over a week ago.
Any pointers?
I was just checking this on Pioneer's website and there seems to be a CNSD-300FM coming out or already released for 2011...

Excellent, not available in UK yet though! Will wait.
Good news, just got a reply from the best caraudio dealers in the UK :
"Hi Ricky
I called Pioneer UK this morning and can confirm that CNSD-300FM is due for stock release on Friday 15th July in the UK. Price will remain as quoted and orders can be taken for delivery week beginning Monday 18th July.
Please call us on 01491825700 if you wish to order this item.

Is this just the map or software update as well? I still need the 3.0 update =(
There are a couple of software tweaks, but it is mainly the maps you are paying for. This package does include every update, so even if your unit currently has v.1, you can upgrade to 4.whatever in one go.
For those in Canada (and maybe this'll apply to the US as well), according to Pioneer Canada customer support today (when I asked via email about 2011 maps):
" Good Day
The New map should be available for purchase by the end of the month."

I asked this question to the support folks at Pioneer U.S. and here's what I got:
Michael,
Pioneer will not be releasing the CNSD-300FM. The most current one we have is CNSD-200FM.
Thank you,

Soooo...does that mean we're not getting any more map updates? I'm still running on the original version, and I'm not sure if it's worth $120 for two year old maps on the 200FM update.
Are there any updates on this? Has anybody heard anything about 2011 N. American maps for the F700bt?
