Just in case anyone else forgot their password for their X850BT, here's how I got a hold of mine. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First, some disclaimers: If you stole your unit, please give it back, save money, and buy your own! Otherwise, this is my: RUN TESTMODE AT YOUR OWN RISK statement! I searched this forum and Google'd like crazy, and there, to my knowledge, is no other documented method for retrieving the AVIC-X850BT's password specifically, sorry if this is a repost. ------------------------------------

I figured it out! There, to my knowledge is no other known method for the x850BT. But the way I figured it out is as follows: [FYI: I POSTED THE LINKS TO EACH THREAD I RESEARCHED BUT PROVIDED THE LINKS IN THIS HOW-TO SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BROWSE AWAY FROM THIS PAGE! =D ] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEP 1: Get the right Testmode file. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I went here: http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/36681-avic-x50-hack-general-topic/

Anyone else get TestMode working for the x850 yet? I bought mine about a month ago from bestbuy and put a password on it when i tried taking the security panel on and off. When i took out the radio to install the ipod cables i ordered, i forgot the password.... pisses me off, but I guess since im within the return policy i can just exchange my unit but i didn't wanna do all that I just wanna reset my password. Thanks again if anyone else has some info.
