Hi, I purchased a F900BT in Australia (original version 3.0x software for AU - Australia).

Will this unit boot in testmode?

If it can, I have tried but without luck.

Have downloaded the aussie version of "AVIC-F900BT_AU_Testmode.zip" and extracted both folders to the root directory of a newly formatted 2GB SD card (MiTACAP and Testmode). There are no files on the root directory, just these two folders.

When the F900BT boots up with this SD card inserted, it just starts normally.

I cannot seem to find any posts that clearly state that "Testmode" will not work on original V3.0x units.

make sure it can read from SD. Insert it empty in Navi. Try with mp3 first, then reload the testmode files on SD card
