I guess the revised instructions they posted on Feb 22 is the one to use, because Navtool's CEO just emailed me to ask the mods to unblock the rest of that post. He says there are more pictures to show the entire revised install. Guess Navtool is still following these threads.
Yeah, looking through everything there must be more to the story if the 2/22 post is the right set of instructions, and not the .pdf. If NavTool is monitoring this, they should also make sure future shipments include accurate instructions. Had it not been for the diligence of this forum, I would have installed mine with faulty instructions and risk the "major safety concern." Not cool.

If you look at the Navtool install PDF that only shows the driver's side install, there is some tiny print on the first page that shows the revision number and the date produced which is Dec 20 2015. The revised instructions were posted over 2 months after the PDF came out.
How you choose to install it is up to you since no instructions are being sent with the products. I plan on following the revised instructions and I'll post my results here afterwards.

I am number 69 on the list. Received tracking number on the 20th but no movement on the tracking number. Called on Thursday and was told that my interface was on the rack for shipping that day. Today is Saturday and still no movement on the tracking site. Has anyone on my similar range of the list gotten a date for delevery on the tracking site?
Thanks

The suspense is Killing me (I want one but have only owned a C7 since Feb so I'm not on "The List"). The allegedly post by someone from their Camp is absolutely Childish.
I inquired last week off their web site about the availability for my '14 C7. Their response was, "Hi we have it available $399". Nothing on delivery time etc. They did send a link.

Where ever the hell Secaucus, NJ is where my package is! I know where Red Bank is, I was stationed near there in the Army (Ft. Monmouth). I know where Hoboken is as I got off the train and boarded the Path to the world trade center where I worked. I know where Bloomsbury is as I lived there for 2 years. Flemington had the hospital that handled my wife and the birth of my 4th child. NJ has some funny names for cities! 
Must have been a lot of Native Indians running around there!
Oh well, still got a long way to go to get down here in Florida!
Pip, pip, old chap and all that stuff.

As an expat Brit I've got to applaud you at your attempt at typing in a British venacular. Whilst that might be how Brits talk in soap operas, it's not how we write, and your spelling and grammar slipped badly in later posts
P.S. I assume that as well as a Land Rover and Bentley you have met the Queen and hang out with David Beckham? Trolling moron

I thought I would let folks know that I received an email today from Vitaliy in reference to an earlier post I added to this thread. He says the connectors on the drivers side are different and the NavTool cannot be installed on the drivers side. He was also very clear that the installation is done on the passenger side. I have asked for a set of installation instructions. Hopefully they are forthcoming and we can clear all the install questions up.
Also I received another email a few minutes ago saying all the remaining preorders will ship Monday. Just passing this news along.

I had an email or two from Vitaliy this AM. Here is the text.
OK, I think I have it now. The grey plug is going into the side of the radio module which is directly under the BCM just under that thick bundle of wire on the left. I pull out the grey plug out of the Radio Module, splice in the Navtool grey plug and then plug the navtool cord grey plug into the side of the Radio Module (under the BCM). Then I snake the grey plug and wires over to the driver’s kick panel and plug it into the Navtool. I then disconnect the blue plug from the HMI and plug the disconnected blue plug into the navtool blue connector and then the 2nd blue plug from the navtool goes back into the empty blue connector on the HMI.
This makes sense now!

So the blue cables get routed to the drivers side for connection to the HMI?
I got this a few minutes ago from Vitaliy:
If you plug in NavTool into HDMI and something goes wrong you will lose your power steering abs brakes and more, simply unplug main plug of HMI and see what happened, so at HMI we interface video only, none of the vehicles vital parts are touched
Is he talking about the blue cables??
