    Hi,

    do we have to install shortscript or not (this message let me understand that apart from transferring the files provided by godzilla, there was nothing else to do).

    Nothing in that post says not to follow the instructions (run Shortfuse). It was about whether the user needed to replace Cardinfo, and not modifying any other files on the SD. Shortfuse does not modify the installation SD, it modifies files on the headunit before installing the map update.

  2. I'm assuming you have the camera power wire connected to the vehicle's back-up light(s). That is why the split-screen goes black when driving. If you want to be able you view the camera while driving, you need to find a different power source. I ran a wire along with the video cable to the headunit and tapped into the red power wire. So the camera has power whenever the radio is on.

    But there seems to be another problem with either the backup sensor wiring or the setup.

    What happens when you shift into reverse?

    1. Do you get any different display or does it stay on the current media source?
    2. Do you get a black screen with the text warning?

    The answer will indicate the possible solution.

  3. I don't know enough about your car or the F840-BT to say whether that CAN-BUS test applies to your situation. Some cars use CAN-BUS to communicate between various components. You would need lots of technical info about your car to know if your parking brake has a CAN-BUS interface. Judging by that last picture, it doesn't seem to be connected via CAN-BUS. There might be more info in the F840-BT installation manual. Most cars just have a simple switch as part of the parking brake lever/pedal. The headunit just has a parking brake wire in the harness that is supposed to be connected to that switch.  Many people just ground that wire (to fool the headunit into thinking  the parking brake is always set) instead of connecting it as shown in the installation manual.

     

  4. Yeah, I'm starting to think this isn't a case of it being hard-locked due to 3 failed password attempts. In that case I'd expect it to prevent usage at all, while providing some sort of info on the screen at boot time.

    I see that Navi Settings is grayed-out, so it can't be used to check (via Connection Status) if the Parking Brake is being detected as "On". However in TestMode, # 22. External Connection Test shows its status. From the maintenance manual:

  5. I saw your other post after I replied to this.  I don't know anything about the F840BT. But I know that the Z-110BT also has that lock "feature". From the Service Manual:

    Quote

    If you enter an incorrect password three times, the screen is locked and operations using touch panel keys are disabled.

    There's nothing in the service manual on how to recover from this. So you may have to send it to Pioneer to fix. However, if it was me, I'd try manually going into testmode and seeing if there is any file in the USER\SYSTEM\SECURITY directory. However, it is possible that you might not be able to do anything interactively if the hard keys are also locked.

    To get into Testmode,  download SuperTestMode.ZIP and unzip it.

    Put the testmode.key file on a SD, put that in the head unit and it should boot to testmode. If it doesn't, restart your headunit. Note: do not use the Testmode.key file included with my Security Password Removal - that one only runs a script. This "super" testmode key runs in interactive mode.

    It is a horrible user interface, but Go into File Maintenance. Then navigate to USER\SYSTEM\SECURITY and see it anything it there.  If there is some file, it might be a "lock". So delete it. 

  6. Assuming you posted the screen shots in chronological order:

    The first time it failed on the REMOVE command, which deletes the file USER\SYSTEM\SECURITY\PASSWORD.DAT after copying it to the SD.  The only way I can see that happening is if the file didn't exist.

    Then you say you deleted the line that COPY line that copies the file to SD?

    Then,  second pic shows the error on the COPY command. Maybe the file no longer exists, since the file never existed.

    So, why where you running the script?

    Thanks man. 

    Wow, you still around these forums! You've been here a long time! 

    Yes, same headunit (Z110-BT) and same car (2010 Porsche 987C) that caused me to join. The car is now just for joy-rides so I don't care much whether the maps get updated. Last update for these units was 2017.

    Like I sd I'm new here. Not sure how things are reli working.   I'm not spamming anyone. .. U dnt hav to be rude buddy!

    I wasn't rude, I said "Please".  But you wrote 6 posts asking for help for the same problem (I deleted one that was in the wrong forum). That's spamming.

    I want to sell my F930BT i own now, so i will put a password i think for the new owner so if the unit does ask for a PW in the future at least the new owner has one to unlock it with :).

    New units do not come with a security password set. So you really are not doing the new owner a favor. In fact, he will probably be cursing you once he needs it and doesn't remember it. So unless you are selling it to your ex-wife, I'd say don't do it.

    1. Is the password deleted really PERMANENTLY from the device itself or will it ask me again for a PW when i would disconnect the battery/get a new battery in the future. Or if i decide to sell the unit, is there any chance the unit would ask the new owner for the PW?

    2. How do I put in a custom PW on the device if i would like to do that now?

    I have a F930BT.

    1. It should be permanent or until a new password is set

    2. I don't know, I've never done it. It's in the user manual. If you don't have one search for one and download a copy.

    But I can not think of a good reason to ever set one. A year from now if your battery dies, are you going to remember it? It isn't a theft deterrent. A thief will still smash your window and destroy your dashboard removing the radio. He won't know it has a password. But if he searches online he'll find the instructions here to remove it.
