My F500BT succeeded in a firmware upgrade from V1 to V2.006 but failed in the Pioneer Bluetooth update to V3.3. I let it go for about 20 minutes, but ended up powering off during the stalled process, knowing that it could be a PITA but with no other options.
When power is plugged in, the Bluetooth LED blinks once, then the device does not respond to anything.
I have tried the service combination [MAP, MAP, MENU, ENTER (Press down on the joystick), MENU then ENTER] without success.
Any advice on unbricking this F500BT? Does it need to go to Pioneer, or are there other service combinations that I can try, or can it be fixed from a computer? I have read a bit on the forum in preparing for a possible upgrade to V3.X, but I am lost even after some searching regarding this problem. Thanks..
