kelsey.abstreiter@ Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 THANK YOU for this! It worked great, I was a little sceptical however it worked exactly as described and super easy. Saved me a lot of hassle and money! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bllarson Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 This also happened to me. I purchased a used vehicle, drove it for over a year. Got in a car accident. While it was being fixed the batter was unhooked and when I got it back it asked for a password. This worked great. Only problem I had was finding the necessary SD card in the house and an adapter to format it on my laptop. Thanks so much!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bad911S Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 I have an AVIC-X931BT, Subaru OEM. Bought car used. I used a USB memory stick as I didn't have an SD card and it worked great except I had the same problem as Paskishow44. Deleted the COPY USER\SYSTEM\SECURITY\PASSWORD.DAT SD\PASSWORD.DAT line from the script using Notepad and it worked great. Thanks for all of your help. Very frustrating problem. I was ready to take a baseball bat to the stereo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Sinter Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Just signed up to AVIC411 ... WOW, talk about easy ! Just got back from a trip OS (3 months), I disconnected the battery as the immobilizer tends to drain the battery. Didn't think about the radio ... re-connected the battery, and ERRR ... radio needs code. As I bought the car 2nd hand, I didn't have the code (and not in any of the doc's that came with the car). Google brought me here - did the small SD card thing, and BINGO ! - radio back on ! - SO EASY TO DO - MANY THANKS !!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fixation10 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Worked like a bloody charm on my F-930bt! Thank you so much, changed the battery and it locked me out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AKJ Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Thanks, this worked for us on a used car we bought and had to install a new battery. We had problems getting the SD micro card out of the radio and got the "red screen" but this $17 dollar solution (to buy the card) and down load your fix worked like a charm.

PoeticOfficer Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Worked flawlessly on my STI 2012's Pioneer ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobboEagles Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 You absolute legend Ronnie lad !!! Battery had been disconnected and my F940 was asking for a password.. previous owner told me what it was, but as it was fairly embarrassing “knock1out” (hopefully not in the car..) I assume the garage had re-programmed it and the guy/gal left.. This worked an absolute stormer! Again... thanks a million. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ci11126 Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hi RonS. I have the problem on the password with my AVIC F940BT (I had to replace my car battery). Just to be sure... Is your scriprt right for this navigation model ? Thank you. …... Hi RonS. I inserted this message without read the last one from RobboEagles. I used your script and now all run. Thank you very much!

Ytumer Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 THANK YOU SO MUCH. This script worked flawlessly for my AVIC F840BT. You saved me a lot of headache. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ytumer Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 As a follow-up; I had contacted Pioneer about my password issue and was waiting on a reply when I came across this thread. I thought I'd try the script instead of waiting for a reply, which worked perfectly for me. Turns out the Pioneer tech support team is extremely helpful. They sent through these instructions for me to clear my password. I haven't personally tried it as I had already run the script in this thread. If the script isn't working for anyone and you'd like to try an official alternative method to reset the password (not remove the prompt completely as this script does) please see the attached picture with instructions. I'm not sure which models this will work for as the reply to my email was specific to my AVIC F840BT. I'm sure other models with a similar password prompt will likely have the same procedure. I didn't think posting this would be more of an issue for theft than this script already is. Either method is easy and does the same thing so... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
