Assuming you already have at least a 2GB SD card and some sort of card reader for your computer...

1. Download the [TestMode zip file].

2. Extract the two folders in the zip file to the root of your SD card.

3. Insert the SD card into your AVIC and turn the vehicle on.

4. After the splash screen, and after a quick File Copy screen, use the included stylus or other small object to press the X in the upper right. You may also need to drag the title bar of that window down and to the left to be able to click that X.

5. (optional) You may want to * Recalibrate * the screen at this point to navigate a little easier. See instructions below.

6. After calibration and closing the Control Panel window, double click My Device on the Desktop.

7. Select My Flash Disk and click Edit -> Copy at the top.

8. Double click Storage Card in the same window.

9. Click Edit -> Paste from the top of the window.

Let the system copy all of the necessary files to your SD card. It may take 10-15 minutes to complete. Once it is done, turn your vehicle off and remove the SD card. Then copy the contents of this folder to a safe location on your computer for use later if you encounter problems with any hacks/mods.
