seeny Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 In one word: testmode, or lack thereof of a truly functional testmode in the x930bt. In my old x910bt, and using the collective genius of the people in this forum, I was able to do the following to my old x910bt: 1) hack it and play any video content any time 2) completely eliminate any and all 'disclaimer' and 'driver warning' screens - yes, I get it, it's dangerous 3) put a mute navi voice button on the map 4) put an instant route to home button on the map 5) turn the arrow into a pic of my car 6) steering wheel controls - i know, nothing to do w/ testmode but so nice Sure, the x930bt is a faster unit, no doubt, and the musicsphere, pandora, and aha radio are nice features (assuming you don't have iOS5). However, I can't tell you how liberating it is to press the map button while driving and then to NOT find that annoying disclaimer about how dangerous it is to use the navi while driving and then try to press the 0.5cm 'OK' button as my finger wobbles all over the screen. Additionally, I had another obnoxious problem with the x930bt and my ipod classic 160gb- when starting up the car, it would not resume from the last ipod song! It would always start on a different input than ipod, like HD Radio or bluetooth audio instead of ipod, even when I was using that input last. I tried all the advice on similar issues on the forum and nothing worked. Oh, and by the way the x930bt has REMOVED all voice recognition features from the x line, which the x910bt had. But in fairness, voice rec didn't work too well for me on the x910 anyway. I even got a great deal on the x930bt- $500 after rebate- less than what I paid for the x910bt. So, in the end was it worth the effort of selling the x910bt to keep the x930bt? Not for me. Best, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arizzle Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 *sigh*... I feel your pains and appreciate the functionality you went back to with the 910. Is it true there really is not testmode or have we not yet figured it out / had the inside knowledge leaked out yet? I really want to get into the filesystem of the 930... there HAS to be a way.
