CodeBuster Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 How did you get into test mode? From SD card? Can you post the files used as I have problem getting into test mode on this model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ServXtrem Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hello Guys, I got an F970BT that came with a Fiat Stilo I got recently. Unfortunely, unplugging the car battery asked me for password, no one knows it. So I have past 2 hours and finally got the testmode for Android AVICs. testmode_a.rar Extract Testmode_a.key to an empty, formatted usb (fat32). While the unit is ON, pop in the stick in USB1. The unit will auto reboot, into test mode. Perform Initialize To Factory Defaults. The screen will go blue, then reboot. No more Password. Tested OK on F970BT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrpunani100 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 ServXtrem . I get into the system but it doesnt work according to how you said. There should be something in File Maintenance where i can get the password. Hope to hear from you asap. Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't usually make an account just to thank someone this much but this works an absolute treat on my AVIC-F960DAB. Tested 01/07/18 and it still works! Saved me tons of time and money trying to get the previous owners details to ask them or pay Pioneer to come out and use a back door program themselves. Just make sure you're not a complete melon like me and remember to EXTRACT the files from the original zip file (even though it was made clear above). Thank you so much! Not all heroes wear capes...

TheDutchTango Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 I bought a used F960DAB today from a garage, was a real steal, but the guy selling it told me the password was lost. I took the gamble and bought it anyway (only 40 euro's including the cable for the power). This afternoon I already downloaded the code and put in on a usb-disk, powered the unit on while I had it on my bench, there was the password request, put the USB drive in, HEY PRESTO! The thing went into test mode after a couple of seconds, factory reset, DONE! Luckily I've currently got a F900BT installed and I can re-use the GPS antenna so that is a big plus for me, also looking forward to streaming bluetooth music again, god I missed that a lot. Does anyone know if I can just plug in my stock (electrical) antenna? I drive a '99 Volvo C70 so FM was kinda the thing back then haha. I've never owned a DAB radio before and read some some conflicting info about the DAB antenna's so I wondered if my old antenna is just plug and play. Many thanks for the upload you're a big help much appreciated!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L3x Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Will this work on an f980 DAB ? If it doesn't , do i risk bricking the radio in trying the provided zip ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattB50 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Awesome - thank you for this, my dad came up for Christmas, had a flat battery on the way, which was changed by roadside recovery, then his Pioneer kept asking for a password which had been set by the previous owner. With this file I was able to get his Satnav accessible again - thank you @ServXtrem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
