Does anyone know how to enter engineering mode from the 8.4 uconnect touch screen? I Can't use the hot and cold buttons on center stack as I haven't upgraded that yet. I can get into dealer mode thanks to El Zilcho but looking to get into "engineering" mode. Thanks for any suggestions.

I know you said you don’t have them yet but I saw in a video that drivers COLD+HOT does it. That didn’t work for my 8.4”. Dealer mode (defrost+cold+hot) does work. I’m not sure why I can’t get into engineering mode

Thanks for the reply. Still trying to find away into engineering mode. I need to see if in the "logging utilities" menu in engineering mode can reset the logs. I keep getting this screen from radio.

I'm looking for a way to do it, but so far no luck. If I do, I'll let you know.

Thanks. I have been searching for days with no luck. Hoping someone might know a dealer tech or radio expert. Thanks everyone for the help.

I think if we do a factory reset it will clear logs also. Can't do a reset without getting into engineering mode. Where did you get your radio? Was it an upgrade or factory installed?

So it turns out on the newer radios you can't enter the engineering mode. You can get into the "dealer mode" only. In dealer mode you can only look at the settings you can't reset the radio. I had to send mine back to clear it. Once it was reset has worked great.
