Default Lockpick install ???

I would like to hear from those who have done the locpick install on nav C6's themselves. How hard was it, what did you have to take apart, where does the ipod plug in when everything is finished?

Also, I have added the cd changer in the back. Would that affect the installation?

Thanks in advance!

Do you also have XM? It should plug into the jack/ connector for the XM box...On coupes the box s/b located on the drivers side behind the panel over the rear wheel. On a vert, its located behind/ under the waterfall... Once installed, it should display your iPods playlist on your nav screen and also charge the iPods battery.

I've heard of people not being happy with it. I just had the PIE adapter installed and it works great. www.pie.net

OK Question not answered. I am trying to find out what grief people have gone through trying to install aftermarket adaptors. Don't need links to sites that provide no new info.

Lock Pock is a ten minute install once you have access to your XM box... I must have got a bad one... Mine wouldn't time out/ shut down when I turned my car off.... Per dealer tech it was pulling 3amps/hr after the ignition was shut off! It drained my battery within a few hours. When I emailed/ contacted Costaletech, I got no response. I've read and heard of others with similar problems.... Also no returned calls/ emails. If there is a known problem, they should fix it/ replace bad units! Not ignore people who paid over $100 for your product!
