thank you FXMAN. this worked for me, although i got the testmode and LU files elsewhere. i was nervous about deleting files from system but it worked out for me. i also plugged in a USB drive to the USB cable that is in the run for the iPod control and backed up my whole flash disk before deleting.
FYI, i have since found instructions on ebay with software etc for less than $20. If i had known about this on ebay i might not have tried FXMAN suggestions. If you are "scared" by the process listed then try one of the ebay options and let the rest of us know.
