I'm not responsible of any damage/brick,
so all of this you are doing at your own risk.
Its working on my unit perfectly,
but its not 100% sure that it will work on yours!
FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY!
THERE IS NONE OF PIONEER SOFTWARE INCLUDED,
THIS 'HACK' IS MADE WITH FREE SOFTWARE,
= NO COPYRIGHTS ARE BROKEN!
!!!!!
On the new units standard testmode with windows explorer
is not working. Funny is, that on the newer units
there is no even explorer.exe!
Fortunately we've got GGS1080 with TESTMODE.KEY,
which is working on F30BT, and other units also, I think.
But plain Pioneers Service Mode is not handy and 'usable' for us.
To hack Pioneer device I used Pioneers 'service mode'.
OK, so everything what we will need is in the attachment.
Below are detailed instructions, but in few words
we need to delete Av.exe, and copy hackfiles to its place.
INSTRUCTIONS:
HowTo backup/use Pioneer UI - Video by JasonH!
pts. 1-9 = BACKUP:
download the archive, unpack it to root of your 'SD',
instert SD to your AVIC, Pioneer Service Mode will appear,
**navigating in service mode is little confusing, you've got to get use to the interface,
move down and enter FILE MAINTENANCE,
go to USER, select COPY on the menu,
move up, and go to SD,
select PASTE on the menu,
once it finish - BACKUP IS DONE.
now hold EJECT button for 5s to get to sd card, take it and connect to pc,
copy USER directory somewhere safe on your computer and delete it from SD,
insert again SD to AVIC, go to 'USER/PRG0/Apl' and delete Av.exe file,
**you've got to delete it first, because service mode will not overwrite files!,
go to 'SD/CONDIHACK', select ALL on the menu, and select COPY,
go to 'USER/PRG0/Apl' and select PASTE on the menu,
get out from FILE MAINTENANCE (home button),
reset - turn off and on the unit - enter again service mode,
**afaik its good to boot it again to service mode, I had few times problems with copied files - once they just disappeared after rebooting directly to system,
go to FILE MAINTENANCE, 'SD', and delete TESTMODE.KEY,
reboot unit, and done you can now delete CONDIHACK directory from SD!
To get into HACKMODE you need to have HACKMODE.KEY file on root of your SD.
HACKMODE.KEY is empty/dummy file to easy operate between hack/normal mode.
When Pioneer is booting it will search for HACKMODE.KEY file.
If the HACKMODE.KEY file is on root of SD - it will boot hacked, to file manager.
If the HACKMODE.KEY is deleted/renamed - it will boot to normal/stock Pioneer software.
Also if you have already turned ON AVIC (and for example car engine ON also),
then you can easly jump into HACKMODE - just insert SD with the file,
AVIC is scanning SD every 15s, when it will notice SD with the file,
it will quickly reset and after few seconds you will be in HACKMODE!
Its handy, you dont have to turn off the engine!
And one more thing - you can easly jump out from HACKMODE,
just by closing file manager! After close it will run standard Pioneer software
(also it will not scan for the key in every 15s! after restart it will be back).
Thats all for now. I wanted to give you nice mortscript menu,
but it just doesn't working. Many of commands doesn't work.
It was very hard to get everything working, the devil is in the details!
But after many hours of bricking and unbricking my device, here it is - the HACKMODE
Thanks guys for all 'good luck' words If you have any questions then just ask.
HACKMODE was checked only on my device, so please be careful in any actions,
Please check if it works with other models!
NOTE FOR UPGRADED FW UNITS:
If you've got upgraded from lower model unit,
like Z110BT to Z120BT, and hackmode
is not working correctly (cant run normal mode),
then probably you've got only PRG0 with new version
of firmware, but PRG1 is with old version!
You will have to:
make another copy of your backup PRG0 directory,
rename unmodified copy of PRG0 to PRG1,
delete PRG1 from the avic,
copy prepared PRG1 to avic (should be with same content as PRG0),
install HACKMODE normally like in instructions above the note!
Oh and one more thing - please dont get me wrong, I share it free for all,
but if you want to buy me a beer, then I will drink for you
And as abb1 wrote on his topic - any donations will be greatly
crack/modify EU090BOT.PRG - to pass modified wince img EU090PLT.PRG? (maybe not needed),
in-script check for fw updated units (PRG.FLG related),
internet browsing via bluetooth from mobile? with Internet Explorer?,
usb mouse (and propably keyboard) are working - enable mouse pointer?,
change ShellFolders - Desktop directory to NAND, to get permanent not-erasing on every reboot desktop? (need registry/EU090PLT.PRG hack..),
run emulated image of our devices on PC,
integrate different GPS software instead of stock pioneer into the system, it should work with standard Player, Bluetooth etc,
connect usb 3G/GPRS modem to use independent internet access, to load traffic info (for GPS software, that support it).
...any suggestions?

Moderator Note: This has not been updated since 2012 and has a very high likelihood of bricking modern units. DO NOT install without a full backup. Testmode is currently recommended in place of hackmode.
Thank you thank you!!!! I just unlocked the X930 BT in my wife's car. Awesome!
