For a temporary fix I ordered an acrylic tablet holder to slip over the iFit screen of my Tour de France 5.0 pro form exercise bike. I dug out an old Samsung tablet that I have and that’s what I’m using to watch RUclips and work out watching movies. I figured I’m going to wait for your next video where I can skip having to mess with my router. I searched online for AT&T router parental controls. I couldn’t find them. Perhaps if I put another router with it. I haven’t had time to try and figure it out. Looking forward to your next video.
Lori, my latest video has been uploaded to RUclips. Here is the link. It will show you how to access a Secret iFit Options Menu where you can block iFit updates without having to do anything on your router.
@@NelsonMunoz0714 I just posted under that video. I saw your video when it came out but I haven’t had any luck so I gave up. I haven’t tried to do anything with my Att router because I haven’t had any luck finding parental controls even in their apps. I guess I could call them. I do have a linksys router I bought new just before switching to Att internet. I think there’s a way to take your AT&T router and hook Linksys in series with that. Then I could probably going to the linksys router tied into the AT&T router and block websites. Then do a factory reset. I really don’t know that that’s going to make the 10 top work it hasn’t worked yet. Any ideas are welcome.
Hi @@yadealone, so the bad news is that the Tour De France display does not have the capability to go into privileged mode. I did some research and your display has a limited ability which includes several built in workouts but not the premium iFit trainer-led workout videos. The only easy to integrate iFit is thru an external display.
Using a 2018 or 19 model 1650 I reset the machine and before logging in I set the URL block across the network as a whole. So far so good though. It can't update so far but everything working I've tried. About do a live run, so that'll be the next test. Thanks!
2:08 this no longer works. I have a pinhole and I used it to reset my machine and I did exactly as you did in this video. After I reset it, I did the 10 tap technique when it restarted and it does not load privileged mode. Instead, the gray box pops up for a few seconds and then goes away and I am stuck with the same screen I had before. It's the regular iFit menu, but without privileged mode. This sucks.
Yes, this video you are watching is part of a 5-part series that provides you steps to block the iFIT updates and gain back control of your machine. Here is the link so you can view all 5 videos: ruclips.net/p/PL51SVPYH54Ffiwau8glNnz29eolzZOCqK
Ok, I need your help, Nelson or anyone else ☺. I just spent the last half-hour manually resetting my s15i using the pinhole and the console restarted but all the software and the whole system updated multiple times and I can't get access to privilege mode, so it was all for nothing. It's asking me for a code again. So frustrated with Nordictrack over this! Your videos are great, Nelson and thanks for all your work to help with this!
@@NelsonMunoz0714 Hi Nelson, no I didn't make changes to my router... I can try that tonight and see how it goes. Is that the key to stopping the updates? Thank you!
Hi Nelson, it took some time, since my router settings are quite different than yours, but I did manage to block the website, and all is good and I can access privilege mode again! Only thing is I can't update my ifit, but I'm hoping you address that issue in your next video. Thank you again!!
Gold, I just uploaded Part 4 in the Battle for Privileged Mode. It concludes the video series and has steps to block iFit updates without having to configure your router.
Nelson, I think the app has "more settings" for a registered user. If you have the blocks in place, then I highly doubt you actually "updated" the app, but it is possible some features are "streamed" in rather than "baked" in.
Josh, I went back and you were correct. When I was looking at the iFIT app originally there were fewer menu options because I was not logged in. lol. Good catch.
Nelson, this whole thing may be because Peloton+ is now controlling resistance on their bikes. Could it possibly be that loading the peloton app on the norditrack machine could mess up the preloaded drivers? If so, I could understand them freaking out, but like we are all saying, the machine is ours, not theirs!! We should have access!!
Hi mrsgoyen08, thanks for coming by and leaving a comment. I don't believe the Peloton app can control any of the drivers because the NordicTrack machines are proprietary in nature. The push for locking privileged mode is based on money and customer service support. If iFIT is the only option then their subscription revenue is higher. If customers have other options like Netflix then their revenue may be reduced. Also i am certain their customer technicians are receiving a lot of inquiries about privileged mode. They would rather lock it down and eventually reduce their customer support calls. Many of us believe like you and me that we should have final say in what we can do in our machines.
Hi R Evans, sorry I didn't respond sooner. Have been dealing with kidney stones and sometimes the pain is almost unbearable. Hoping these stones head on out (of my body) soon. Can you elaborate on maintenance mode? Not certain I understand what it is you are saying about maintenance mode?
Hello followed your instruction and was able to down load Netflix on my Nordic track S22i however, the videos won’t play continue to get an error message can u help???
Just want to make sure i got this. So I should do a factory reset, block the mentioned website on my router, turn the treadmill back on and do the 10 tap trick. Set a password and restart the machine again…… then update it. And it wouldn’t remove the privilege.? And another question do you think it’s better to just leave it on or turn it off between use.
You got it Esther. There is always a chance that you may have to rerun the steps, but I ran thru the steps with no issues. Many other subscribers have successfully completed the steps and regained Privileged Mode. -- As for the machine, I turn mine off after every use. That is what NordicTrack/ProForm recommends.
No, it's a catch 22: - Once you block access to iFit Urls in your router, you cannot update iFit anymore. - If you unblock your router to update, you also get back the new "iFit admin" which will kick you out of privileged mode. The only thing that worked for us is export the latest iFit app that is installed on your machine after the update to your own apk via apps like "app extractor" and use this one after the factory reset to reinstall the latest iFit app (see other comments for more detail)
Thomas, you are 100% correct. The only way to have the latest and greatest iFIT app and still be able to access privileged mode, is to allow updates so you can have the most up-to-date iFit app, then back it up and save to an external source. Afterwards a factory reset and blocking the URLs will get you back to a "clean" system. Then you can reinstall the updated iFIT from your backup. Though curious as to how the backup knows where to install the iFit app?
@@NelsonMunoz0714 thank you so much for the info everything work until I restarted my treadmill. Somehow it was able to update everything tho I blocked the URLs. I don't know if anyone else had this issue but on my D-Link router blocked off the internet on the treadmill completely. So I had to remove the two URLs. Fortunately, part 4 resolved that issue. Everything is working perfectly now. Just need to find apks that work for my model. Prime video and Netflix are working just not Hulu RUclips. Your but best thanks again😉
When I hit the reset button on my machine it did 3 or 4 updates and restarts before finally blocking the Privilege mode again. It also just did a brand new update this evening which I had my fingers crossed was going to fix it. But nope still blocked. I really don't want to have to fuck with my modem. Fingers crossed they unblock it. I really do appreciate all of your content and effort though thank you sir!
Gold Thumb, look for a video to be released where you can block the suspect host names without having to touch your router. A smart viewer provided the idea to use an app called Hosts go. Essentially a vpn client that bypasses the locked- down local /etc/hosts file and does the job. Sounds complicated but it's not. Don't give up hope.
@@NelsonMunoz0714 I am familiar with and have a vpn I am being patient and looking forward to other options. I appreciate and look forward to all everyone is trying to do to figure this crap out.
Well I've managed to be able to get into privilege mode but my IFIT refuses to work. The screen just stays blank where normally all the workouts show up. The hamburger menu works though. It does not let me login to IFIT and when checking for updates gives an error. Curious if anyone with a new machine has had this issue?
No - unless you are using a router that blocks the iFit update Urls. In fact, you will else lose privilege access eventually anyway, even if you don't power down. It just takes a little longer.
Depends on whether you blocked iFit updates. You can block them from your wireless router or by using a Secret iFit Options Menu. To learn more watch my BATTLE FOR PRIVILEGED MODE video series.

PROFORM PRO5000 I try the tap 10 technique and for about 2 seconds the priveledge mode pops up with a set of 6 numbers and then says cancel and submit at the bottom of that mini window. Since it goes off within 2 seconds it doesn't allow me to really click on anything. I wanted to get your input on if you saw this?
Hunter, if the privileged mode code window pops up, no matter how brief, the only way I know to get past is to do a factory reset and make certain you are blocking the iFit websites.

albee, my apologies for not responding sooner. Your message must have alerted a RUclips algorithm that looks at content and determines whether or not it is Spam. Yours was highlighted as possible spam, most likely because of the version number. Once I realized I had comments that needed approval review, I immediately approved yours. ----- As for how I got an older version? Yes, i blocked the iFit web sites then did a factory reset of my X22i. I am making a guess here but each machine will most likely have a different version depending on how old it is. If you factory reset yours and have the iFit websites blocked you will probably have a different version than mine.
Do you have to factory reset the system? Or can you enable privileged mode to just stay on? My bike always asked me first if I want to update and I foolishly said yes, thinking that I bought the machine... I should be able to access every part of the tablet...I unplug my bike every time I am done using it. Just curious if factory reset is required.
Even if you don't choose to update manually, the system will eventually update - that's our experience. It's just a matter of time. The only thing that lasts is blocking the iFit Urls in your router.
Thomas, I believe we can now block the iFit updates using the Secret iFit Options Menu. My Part 4 of The Privileged Mode Battle has steps on how to gain access to this Secret menu. PART 4: ruclips.net/video/RHlVTASUtAk/видео.html -----
Whenever I turn off the treadmill privileged mode is lost (unless you don’t do the updates). Initially after the update i can still access privileged mode but the restart installs the admin app update that I assume was downloaded at the same time as the regular iFIT app. Any suggestions ? Are they both downloaded from the same domains? Would be good to be able to install the iFIT app without installing updates to the admin app.
@@NelsonMunoz0714 is it possible to download the main iFIT app update without downloading the IFit admin app(which is the app update which prevents privileged mode). I’m pretty sure if I remember you were able to update the main ifit app without updating the ifit admin app in the video.
@@HorrorFanBoi, that is an excellent question. I believe if you block the updates you can manually upgrade the iFIT app by downloading an iFIT apk from APK Pure or APK mirror... one of those. Will put that on my list of things to do.
@@HorrorFanBoi When I pulled iFit off APK Pure, it ran, but it did not interface to the machine.
