testmode for avic-f90/f900/f700 v2.6/2.7/3.0101 UC/EW (Page 2)

Hi

I have a few questions to ask.. not sure this is the right place.. I have a 500BT with a few modded ( house number displace, traffic camera warning, newers map...etc). Im going to update to the new 2.06 and eventually 3.0 firmware. My question is do I need to restore the unit to the factory standard (old map, old DATA.ZIP..etc) before I can upgrade the firmwares? or can I just copy/ upgrade the new firmware over the old one? thank you

I've always just 'copied over' the files. It has so far, worked for me. Just letting you know my story. Hope it helps.

Just wanted to say thanks to carver for the testmode.

For all the noobs like me you simply download it from the link given by the OP, extract the contents (using winrar), you will get a testmode file which you copy and paste onto a formatted sd card and you are all set. There is no miticap required like with the previous testmode. Just put the sd card in before you startup your unit and you are good to go.

Thanks again Carver!!

I liked the mitacap, because, you put everything in there on your pc and it copies to the desired lokation! Haven't tried it with the new testmode, hope this still works..

I am new to this whole thing and i've been working on it for hours. I just can't seem to get it to work. I have an F90bt, and version 2.006. I got onto windows mode with the new testmode file downloaded onto my SD card. It goes onto the windows screen and thats it. There is no "copying screen" or anything like that. I can't get it to copy any mod files. Can someone help me out. I must be doing something wrong....

On the Windows screen, triple tap on My Computer, tap My Flash Disk to highlight, tap edit copy, close out back to Windows screen, triple tap on My COmputer again, this time highlight you card location click edit, then past.

Voila, wait on the files to copy - it will take a while then turn off the key and eject the SD card. You flash disk contents are now on your card.

BEFORE YOU START- make sure you calibrate your screen if your tapping is off you could possibly choose to CUT your flash disk instead of COPY it. If this happens, it will ask to confirm - just choose no.

Hey Carver,

Did you create this, modify the old one, or were you able to source this pure sweetness from someone inside Pioneer, etc...?

Problem with Testmode 2.3 File!

I can down the file but upon "un-raring" the file the CECMD.exe file throws up all kinds of error, Tried WinRar and WinAce on two seperate machines and get problems with both sets, Any ideas anyone or can someone email me a working copy?

Thx

After updating my unit to 2.006 it now starts with splash screen and then goes dead/blank. All lights are off and nothing is working.

I updated to 2.3 testmode and I was able to get into testmode without the unit shutting down. I know it must be a software issue. I triple clicked to get into "my flash disk" to see that there was only like 80kb of files with over 1.8g free. What happened to all my info that was on my flash disk??? I'm pretty sure this is causing it to shut down after splash screen. It was working 2 weeks after I installed 2.006 but all of a sudden it just wont turn on.

I dont have a bigger SD card atm so I cant find someone else flash disk and just paste it to mine.

Can anyone confirm how many files are in " my flash disk" after updating to 2.006?

Thanks in advance.

Props to the OP Carver - new testmode file works terrific on my F90BT running (legit) 3.02 firmware! Am able to keep my phone database current now that I'm running the latest software.

This link is still working good, but the link on the first page is bad or incomplete.

Well,I used this software to get into test mode and it worked good. I was aiming to remove the annoying beeps and was able to successfully remove them and replace them with silent wav files.All I did was made a copy of the silent wave file and renamed it to match sound files on the program.Save these to sd card and entered test mode.Accessed the program file and navigated to sound files,erased current sound files and copy and pasted my silent files from SD card into the sound directory.Works good.

Good answer comrade!! Helped out alot of people! Maybe u can enlighten us what all the other utilities are for since u know so much?

Posted Aug 24, 2009 · 00:20 UTC#47

If Google fails you, you could always try them...

And people who bump this question up for a month have absolutely no business running this utils or being in Testmode in the first place.

Posted Aug 24, 2009 · 00:54 UTC#48

Is'nt this site is supposed to help people out and find answers to problems and stuff? I could'nt find out the answer to what the other utilities are used for and alot of people have been asking?
