OK, latest update.
I had a co-worker take my SD card home. He formatted it in Vista. Titled in all caps, no spaces.
Still no love. The 700 still says there is not enough space.
Thoughts?
S.
Do not click on "myflashdrive" and copy it to the sd card. Instead open myflashdrive highlight all of the files and folders then click copy, navigate to the sd card and click paste. There have been other that have ran into the same prob and that is how they got it to copy. Good luck.
I had a question about the backup process.
I got past the available space issue by changing the name of the sd card.
But when I copied the flash disk to the card I got an error message about some file it couldnt copy. It didnt mention a complete file name. I think it was just a letter. I think a 't'. I tried it multiple times including turning off the radio and going back into test mode.
It did copy 1.61 gigs which I verified on my computer.
I just want to make sure there isnt anything missing that would stop me from restoring after applying one of the full hacked installs available for download.
I can try again to get more about the error message if the above is too vague.
forgive the noob question but, to restore backup, i just copy "myflashdisk" to formatted sd card and insert into avic f-900bt and turn on????

and then you have to do the process of copy and pasting
Here we go again....Backup your files this way..
my apologies guys, but thanks
i had already made a backup of my unit, my question is to re-install the backup onto the avic do i just put the sd card with "myflashdisk" copied of my comp back into the sd card reader on the unit and power it on? or will i have to manually copy the files of the sd card back on to the avic?
This is old, I have a 2GB formatted SD Card FAT32 (Sandisk Ultra II) I have put the 2 folders from testmode.zip into the root of the SD card.
Placed the SD card into the unit, then turned the car to ignition, and it just boots up as normal.
Any clues?
UPDATE: Tried a 4GB Panasonic card still the same, no testmode.

Problem solved, was using the wrong testmode zip version. Phew.
I'm at the beginning of trying to get testmode on my 700bt. I put the files on the sd card as instructed. The pioneer does not go to a white screen. It boots up normal like I don't have a card in there. Advice? I'm failing step one. 
The following file was ADDED to the sdcard (2gb card, named but with no spaces) file: device.nng
I reformatted the disk and still isn't being seen.
I copied an MP3 file on the sdcard the pioneer can see that and it became an option in the music source and it's playing the song.
thanks.

Where is the link for the updated testmode zip? I've had the exact issue. The how to steps and sticky hacks and mod link needs to be updated. Searching this forum is rather difficult.

As of 13Jul2010 this post has a working testmode for systems with 3.02 upgrades: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=32520#p218494
This link or file name should be updated to reflect this. There are several links with "old" testmode. A noobie is not going to know one from the other, ever. Thanks to BorisM for help via PM.
