Hi guys,

As many others i've just recently had my car back from the garage and because they replaced my battery i am now stuck on the dreaded password screen its been 18 months since having the system installed, i can't remember what the pass is. I've tried numerous times to get the supertestmode.key to work but no such luck it will only load up the password screen again and again.

I bought a 4gb SD card (format FAT32 with 16 allocation size.

extracted the testmode.key to the SD card

inserted the card in my unit turn it on but it will not boot up in testmode.

Any ideas? does the testmode even work for my device? 

Thank you.

Have you checked out this thread, maybe not the right testmode key?

Also only the contents should be on the card, no folders, etc. just the files.

Downloaded that one just to make sure but still no luck, i only have the testmode.key file on the SD card as well. I also tried the hack which again didn't work

Only a couple of things I can think of right off. 

1. In other posts people have said that you could try using a different tool to unzip the file to your computer then copy to the card, WinRAR is one utility that i have    used.

2. The SD card is not formatted correctly.  Re-format and try it again. 

3. Try using USB1 port instead of the SD card
