I modded the Navi.exe file for 5.0 for my 120, but I don't understand where to get the testmode.key files that let me into the file manager.  Can anyone help?

4. Copy your patched NAVI.exe to the SD where you have TestMode.key and insert in the HU - should boot you directly into Testmode.

Did not work.. I put TestMode.key and the patched NAVI.exe on an SD card an I only got uCOM options.. No File Manager.  How do I do it correctly?

I went ahead and tried the above and it failed.

I then tried just the 5.0 update without any adjustments and it worked, but now I'm stuck with the nag screen.

I found a testmode.key file in the 5.1 update.  I put that on the root of an SD along with the patched 5.0 Navi.exe, but it only took me to something that wanted to write uCom data.  I didn't get the file manager.  How do I get that?

Am I the only one on here?

No responses?

Can anyone please answer at least one of my questions?  I have scoured this site for the answers and little is clear or confirmed.

Hi Everyone,

I have been reading the forums for hours and have not found any clear directions to removing the nag screen from the AVIC-z120bt unit.  I currently have the 3.001 software from this site (thank you).  I am planning on upgrading to 5.0 (not 5.1) from this post.  However, the instructions don't mention, but a user on a post here (I can't find it, I've read so much by now) said that we must use the cardinfo.cif file from the 2012 update in order to not brick the device!  Is that true?

Also, I would also like to integrate the nag screen removal hack from this post.  The instructions say to edit a Navi.exe.  I found one at this address in the pack: "2013 USA-CANADA MAP UPDATE\Update\USER\PRG\APL".  The edit is "At offset BEBFC, change 05 00 00 0A  ->  00 00 A0 E1".  I've done that.

Next, I'm supposed to go into test mode, but I don't have a TestMode.key file to do so.  Also, why am I going into test mode if I've just edited the update?  Shouldn't I just install the update now with the edited Navi.exe file?  Should I swap out the cardinfo.cif file too?

Can someone please give some clear, detailed instructions for us idiots?

Thanks in advance
