Does this update also work voor the F30BT?

It should. You'll need the right CARDINFO.CIF file. Maybe just skip step 4.  If the CARDINFO file doesn't match your model, nothing will happen when you insert the SD.

Use 4GB SD. Format & test for errors before putting all the files as in the instructions.

Why are you installing the 2015 maps when the 2017 are available?

To recover the use of your AVIC unit:

1. get TestMode.key from HERE; unzip and copy TestMode.key to SD
2. boot into testmode by inserting the SD into your radio. 
3. go into File Maintenance.
4. remove the file USER\SYSTEM\Download\StartKnd.log

this will kick the unit out of upgrade mode, and should restart into regular mode on next power up (remember to remove the TestMode SD).

Why are you posting this here and an identical one in the 2017 thread?  You aren't adding any new information. There's already a 2017 thread with detailed instructions. And there seems to be dozens of people posting their own instruction summaries.The problem with posting summarized instructions is - while they might make sense to experienced people - they leave out details. I'm probably going to clean-up and delete many of those posts unless they add value to the discussion.
