The Lockpick 360-2 is no longer available and was a 350.00 waste of money. If we sent out 10 of them 9 would come back with issues.
I in the end would refuse to sell one of these to a customer. Major pain to install and they just did not work. This is why Coastaltech does not offer them anymore.

Thanks for recommendation
especially when you take into consideration the selling of your stock nav unit to offset the price
example
Kenwood DNX690 package 900.00
add ipod and camera for 70.00
that's 970.00
Sell your stock unit for say 500.00
that's 400.00 out of pocket.
The Lockpick was 350.00
camera was 70.00
that's 420.00 out of pocket
20.00 more than the Kenwood would be and you get more features and much better NAV

Does anyone know what changes GM did to my 2013 GS NAV to support bluetooth - usb - miniplug audio that earlier NAVs did not have.. Also with steering wheel support.. Can the new additions support camera or video..

I don't "need" the HUD data but it's there and I want to keep it. Not changing out until then.

Thanks. Just to let you know, adding a monitor (4.3") in the pics added,
one must be willing to forego the vanity mirror for the driver. In my case, I never used the mirror, so it was an easy decision to make.
I do have a PDF file with instructions of how to insert a monitor into the Vanity mirror cover, and attach it to the visor.
1) The visor has to be removed from the car in order to do this mod. Instructions can be found on this forum, but if not, I do have those saved.
2) The vanity mirror has to be taken out of the visor. The wiring for the mirror and homelink is left in place, and the on/off button can be cut out of the circuit and wires taped.
3) The monitor power supply can come from the back up lights.
4) All the wiring from the camera to the monitor is run under the windshield side pillar moulding, so all wiring is hidden.
I have PM'd you the PDF. If you have any questions or concerns, please PM me.
I bought the monitor and camera for less than $40.00. It takes patience and a few tools to cut out the hole in the cover to fit the monitor.
Counting all the material including the 1/8" rod, I have about $50.00 in this mod.

I know this is old, but can you tell me how you run the video cable up to the monitor and did you get power for the monitor from the vanity light? Looking at mine it doesn't seem like I can run the video cable via the sunvisor tube.
Thank you

Your right, there is no way to run the video cable through the sunvisor tube. The hole will only accommodate the wiring for the vanity light/Homelink.
I ran my cable behind the tube, and used black wrap around the tube/ and cable to hide the cable. I ran the cable through the side of the sunvisor material, the part that is tucked inside. I snipped a piece on the corner to pass the cable through and into the visor behind the monitor.

I have the Alpine ILX007 I dash media with back up camera in my GS and love it. Going to add a front camera for curbs. Wouldn't want any other I dash unit. Alpine rocks.
But then again, I'm more tech savvy. I think all the major players in the audio game have great head units so good luck deciding on which one if you choose that route.
