Create one on your PC, then copy it to the SD. Make sure it is named PRG.FLG Then in TestMode, select it on SD, then navigate to /USER and paste it. BTW, this may or may not fix your problem. But it won't hurt anything and is easily reversible.

That's not how you get into TestMode on a X930-BT. Download this file supertestmode.zip to a PC, unzip it, put TestMode.key on a FAT32 formatted SD, and insert it in your unit.

There's not enough information here to begin to diagnose this. My first thought is that this is a signal issue. That could be caused by an antenna issue, or a sensitivity setting in the headunit. If it isn't one or the other, its a hardware problem in the headunit. That usually means sending it to a technician. If you've got a manual, look at the FM tuner section. If don't have a manual, download one from Pioneer. First question I have is what station frequency does it keep returning to? Is it 87.9 or 107.9? (assuming a US unit). That might indicate that the tuner could not find a

This is a long thread. Which instructions were you following? I hope you didn't install HackMode.

Could be several things. I almost never use my radio, so you might need to look-up in the manual. Sounds like the tuner is seeking a frequency lock. There is a setting that affects tuner sensitivity. It might be accessed through the gear (settings) icon on the bottom of the FM screen. Do you get any stations while it is seeking? Any sound from the radio? Can you manually tune? I don't mean presets - there is a manual tune up/down. Also could be a problem with the antenna. Is yours amplified? Could be the power or coax wire unplugged. Or your tuner could be shot. Before tearing it out,

Auto-eq has nothing to do with the bypass. Where I was going before with my question (until he started jerking me off) was that many menu options are inaccessible (grayed-out) if the parking brake is not set. This would not apply if he had the parking brake bypassed.

Yes, I believe it is necessary to support Lightning cables. uCom is the microcomputer software. I believe that would include low level drivers. However, as I said, I never manually updated my unit. After installing 6.0, I now have uCom v8.12. So I assume that the v6 update loaded it. I'll let you decide whether that means it is safe to go ahead. Maybe someone else has some experience with this.

On the uCom Forced Write screen, what version does it show under uCom? Oddly, the instructions don't ever say to do anything other than check that version 8.05 is installed. BTW, I have never been able to get forced write to read from an SD. But I don't use a Lightning cable for my old iTouch.

OK, so it looks like you have some hardware skills and equipment. I'm not much use with diagnosing hardware problems, but here is a Z110BT Service Manual that might help. http://avic411.com/files/Z110BTServiceManual.pdf

That happens occasionally. Standard fix is to do a hard boot by disconnecting all power for a few minutes. Easiest way is to disconnect the battery.

Just to verify, are you saying that those hard buttons are never working? Do any work? (Vol +/- or Trk < >) It sounds like a hardware problem. It has nothing to do with the parking brake bypass. You might ba able to get parts, but unless you have pretty good electronics skills, you'd need to send it for repairs. Without the eject button working, you might not be able to run the diagnostics in TestMode. I've never tried it, but maybe you can run TestMode from a USB jump drive. In Testmode, there is a way to test the buttons. To get into Testmode, download SUPERTESTMODE.ZIP, then u

For those that don't speak French, that would be even and odd. In English - pair and impair have totally different meanings.

Try setting the parking brake.

Do not install anything - especially Hackmode. You'll have a 50% chance of bricking your unit. Search for and download to your PC supertestmode.zip and extract testmode.key from the zip. Put that on your FAT32 SD and insert into the headunit. This procedure erases any password in X and Z series headunits. The basic steps are: Put SD into HU Boot into Testmode Go to File Maintenance Navigate to USER\SYSTEM\SECURITY Delete PASSWORD.DAT Remove the SD Restart the unit As I have noted in many posts, don't password protect your unit. It won't stop a thief and will just be a big PITA in the fu

Several. What file did you clobber? Have you tried switching to the reserve program directory? Does /USER/PRG.FLG exist? If so delete it. If not create it. Have you tried installing the latest software (v6 2015 maps)?

Have you tried installing the map upgrade (2015)? http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/82391-avic-f10f20f920f9210f9220bt-evrope-maps-update/

I don't have an F series, so IDK if that bypass method works. On my Z series, you need to add a wire to the harness and ground both (green and new). On the Z, you can tell whether the PB is detected by going to Settings / Navi Settings / Connection Status. Your's probably does too.

Some settings will not work if the parking brake isn't detected. So either set it or bypass.

Yeah, its hard to believe that someone tries to make money selling 5 yr old bootleg software. And then annoys everyone by bumping the thread every month. I hope no one buys this crap.

It seems to me that your Illumination wire is connected to the wrong source. Go to Settings/Navi Settings/Connection Status. The value of "Illumination" should be "Off" during daytime and "On" at night. Normally "day" is defined as running lights off, and "night" as running lights on. This is all controlled by the orange/white wire. If it has 0 volts, the head unit thinks it is daytime. Otherwise it is night. Most people tap this wire to a running light power wire. However if your car has DRL, this gets more complicated. BTW, there are two independent functions that can be triggered by

I'm talking about the one in the installation manual.http://catalogs.pioneer-car.eu/Manuals/AVIC_F88DAB_CRD4952_installation_manual/ The brown one here. No yellow tag. That's the other one. You should plug your camera RCA directly into this. The installation manual also indicates a few settings that affect behavior.

Sounds like you are using the wrong video input connection for the backup camera. There are two video inputs. You should plug your camera's RCA into the brown input on the back of the unit (labeled BC In), not the yellow connector in the harness.

As I said above, those z150/US-Can guys were using USB. Maybe they were using the headunit (in testmode) to copy all the files from the SD to a FAT32 USB device? Then they could copy/archive the files at will.
