looking for someone to update the firmware and maps on my f90bt, ive spent countless hours chasing dead links and torrents with no success, so if someone is in the new york city/ central jersey area and has the knowing of how to do this id be willing to pay someone for there services.... im in staten island and willing to travel to meet someone..thanks for reading and HOOPPPPPEEFFULLLYYYYYY someone can help me out here....
What r you planning on updating to ... i have found many files on here or somewhere else for the f900bt ... let me know and i can pretty much walk you through it on here
i just updated to pioneers 2.0008 from there website, my map version is 1.0006, imagine how frustrating it can get when ur maps are 3-4 years out of date..lol..... im looking for a user friendly update without any concerns of radio failure in a week or month down the line, .... so i would assume a 3.xxxx firmware update which im coming to understand is just pioneers x-series firmware with the newest map firmware allowable on my unit without risk of damaging anything, also i see there are some mods that people are re-writing in the firmware that seems extremely useful that i would be interested in .. im not very familiar with torrents and such, as ive never had to use them for anything else before which makes me more interested in doing it myself but the uncomfortabiity of not knowing makes my nervous reading other post saying there radio dont boot up and such... if u could help me with a detailed walk through id be glad to compensate u....
No need for money! I like hobbies and its just me sharing mine! 
but i will upload a torrent tomorrow afernoon that will contian the FW 3.1 install with the updated 2011 Q3 maps. I take no credit in building or uploading the new maps. All ive done is borrow, combine, and now sharing with you.
This download contains:
Windows CE firmware
X Series 3.0201 update
Complete TA 2011.3 Map Upgrade (USA & Canada)
I am going to do a fresh install on my unit in the morning and once it works ... ill upload the torrent
i really appreciate this 
...it means alot... ironically i just found new threads with working links for fx3.1 and TA.2011.Q3 maps .... i just saved them on my desktop, but i think i will wait to hear from u being that im sure yours will be a complete,all in one piece, with what i just found i believe i would have to update the maps seperately.... on ur update, will it have the mute guidance button and delete guidance on the map screen??? seems like i really convienent feature to have
this was the link i found at the end of the topic "FX3.1 Complete Firmware image" ( http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/27807-fx31-complete-firmware-image/ ) http://www.1radpc.com/private/FX3.1.rar im not sure if its what u have brewing or if this could help u in anyway, cant say what map package is on it, im gonna assume its 2009.....
this is the link i found for the ta.2011.q3 map pack http://android-zone.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3213&sid=147e97778ebc295c31b1be9dfc870e5d
hope im contributing to what i once thought was a hopeless cause..... lol
The original FX3.1 FW Image contains the 2009 maps. I am simply going to combine the 2 and upload the torrent in the simplest form so you guys can get back to your avics faster. Ill be out of work around 3 and if everything works with the 2011 maps . ill have the torrent live and uploaded by 4 with directions to install.
The problem i ran into when doing these map updates and some fw images is that the files are to big for the avic. Ive deleted some of the maps we wouldnt use. Like canada, texas, california, oregon .... and now the size is down around 1.8gb .... so hopefully this is helps if your already combining your maps.
it sounds like we are on the same page here...lol...
Ok. It works ... and it has the updated maps along with it.... i take no credit in creating these orignial treads. I just borrowed and updated my system and am sharing what i am currently running.
The process i used to install is the following.
1. Download torrent
2. Unrar ... no password.
3. You should see 2 folders and 3 files inside. Copy all those as they are right to a blank SD CARD.
4. insert it into your unit.
5. hold the eject, menu, map buttons and then press the reset button... if done correctly u should a blue screen that says press to reset... dont reset press the following codes in... up, up down, menu, left, right ... then you should see 5 diffrent catagories you can pick... pick "wince" then pick " wince sd/usb" it will read and a do its thing and when down it will say ... please reset you unit.
6. press your reset button and leave the sd card in... it should come into a windows looking enviorment.
7. next click on MY DEVICE on your desktop
8. you will see a disk called MY FLASH DISK .... click it and go inside and click edit , select all, and the under file hit delete.... and yes to all when it ask.... This will delete all files on your avic... if you want to make a backup it wiould be smart but if not your choice ... no a biggy for me
9. Now once it deletes ... takes about 10-15 mins
10. under MY DEVICE go sd card and click to open and select my flash disk folder and go inside and click select all and cut and paste under the my flash disk and your avic.
11. THIS TAKE LIKE 20 mins , so grab a beer and let it be ... i know it will say like 150 mins and then 300 min and ...... just believe us around 20 is all....
12. Click yes to all if anything pops up .....
13. once everything copies to the avic flash disk ... go and open it and you should see and folder call " APL " click and open it .... inside will be a bunch of files ... go and find a program file call " SYSTEMSETTING" this will open the settings .... turn off the backup camera..... i dont know why but it was on and left me puzzeled this afternoon ... but this is how i fixed it
14. close it out .... remove the sd card... and ..............................
15. Hit reset and follow you langauge and speech setup.
This is off the top of my head .... but should be good to go .... i attached the torrent file below , ive never uploaded one but i think i did everything right on uploading the completed torrent.

Worked perfect. I also deleted Hawaii, Alaska, & Mexico. Thanks rhauss.
your welcome !!! glad it work enjoy !
well,like everything else im having a problem, when i inserted the card into my radio it automatically switched over to the windows screen, did as u said but i couldnt delete the the apl,2,3,etc folders unless i opened them individually and deleteds the files first, the user folder i couldnt delete at all so when i cut and pasted over from the sd card i had to replace that folder, after the 20 minutes or so everything transfered over and i though i was done, when i tried goin back i can get into the apl folder but cant open the systemsetting file... i dont know if this is my problem but after i remove sd card and reset my unit, my splash screen comes up, the buttons light up white( dont color scan like they use to ??) and thats all i get from it like its not bootin up ( exactly what i figured would happen to me...lmao) i tried 1. reset,2. hold reset for 5 secs,3. hold eject and reset for 5 secs and no luck....what the hell did i do wrong?????? lol
humm, go back into windows and try and delete all the files of the flash disk .... then re copy them over from the sd card .... i dont know why you cant delete them ?
i did get to delete them just couldnt do it in the first screnn wit the gps folders...im tryin to redo it right now...stand by...lol
the folders i cant delete are in the user folder, so im just replacing them...im transferring from the sdcard to the unit right now
now the radio just reboots ,the windows menu opens for 3 secs and the radio crashs, sayin its missing files and sh%t, i cant cut and paste certian files over ... anxiety has taken over....and of course i didnt back up the original files
i need help!!!
i figured it out, because i wasnt doing that update at the blue screen with the wince from sd, that was my problem, i thought because the radio went to testmode on its own i just had to skip that part..... the amount of relief off my shoulders is a ton.. thank u so much rhauss for ur help... ill be seeding this for a while for anyone else cause i know how frustatin it was to find this...thanks again buddy, lets go kill people on mw3 like gentlemen now..lol
hey man sorry we were at the bar all day after work ... but glad you got it but yeah ill be on tonight around 9 and we can rock some noobs on mw3
Will this work on the f900bt?
