    Door locks

    yep, first the driver's, then the front passenger, now the back drivers-side door won't consistently unlock. sucks. 43000 miles. 3 blower motors and 3 door lock issues. now the driver's side view mirror won't go up n down (just left n right). "At GM, Quality is job #1"...pffff

    GM Lockpick info

    ...and its locked inside your glove box out of site. not sure if the AUX input charges your ipod/iphone but the ipod lockpick does (while not in use) this, also. if i had an iphone, i'd probably go the AUX route instead of the lockpick (GM PAL) so as to be able to use the phone. my phone is...

    GM Lockpick

    if you're asking how to switch between the XM and the iPod, you push the oval shaped text button on the center of your navigation screen, that will take you to a menu where you'll see SOURCE...select that and then select RADIO (or iPOD), whichever you want. if you select radio, the nav screen...

    GM Lockpick info

    JDL - I think you caught me just a bit. Let me be more clear. The GM LOCKPICK 320 (same thing I believe as what you called the GMX320) is a NAV-DVD override that allows the driver, while in gear, to override the system and watch DVDs (yes, while in drive) on the front nav screen and it also...

    Seatbelt reminder

    2008 Tahoe LTZ - Gold Mist: Please don't jump my case about the safety aspect of this but does anyone know of any way to eliminate the seat reminder "dings" that ring out twice for a series of 5-dings if one of the 2 front passengers isn't wearing a belt? I used to have some Ford Expeds...

    GM Lockpick

    i sent an email to coastaltech and they told me to use the WINDOW POWER UNLOCK button to turn off the system and that the Nav would recover within a couple of minutes. That's what it says in the directions as well. Not sure that I'd say that actually worked but I need to give that a dedicated...

    GM Lockpick

    For all intents and purposes, I would say that the Gen4 Lock Pick and the factory Navigation system are "mutually exclusive". If I have a destination guidance programmed and try to fire up my lockpick to watch a DVD, I still get driving restrictions. Another issue: Once I've run the...

    Lock Pick

    One more thing, get a bath towel, lay it over your wood trim console. Once the wood trim is off, and you've taken out the bolts, lay the 2 bottom components on the towel, then fold the towel over the top of those 2 components and lay the NAV box on top of that towel. This'll protect your...

    Lock Pick

    There was not any "mounting" ... no brackets or any hardware. I believe my installer found a "tight" place to put it ... as I said, in that void area high and right inside the hole behind the NAV box. I suspect it was a slot that led to a void up behind the airvent. The LockPick does not...

    Lock Pick

    One more thing I'd tell you about the lockpick and this info is a little sketchy cuz I couldn't see in there really good during the installation. It appeared to me that, as you face the "hole" you'll create when you remove the wood trim and electronic components, there is a small gap or void on...

    Lock Pick

    Well...I'll tell you I sat in the backseat and watched my installation. There are 8 clips on the back of that wood trim piece. The guy that did mine started with the clip at about 11oclock (on top edge) and worked down the driver's side, then the same from top to bottom down the passenger...

    SHHHH! License Plate Rattles

    Okay...thanks...I was leary of just tapping into those 2 black squares...wasn't sure they'd thread. What the heck is the deal with predrilling 4 holes at the factory so license plates can be firmly attached?! I don't mind dressing it up with a frame but that's just more weight to rattle around...

    Lock Pick

    I have it for the Nav/DVD and for the IPod (in my glove box) of my new 08 LTZ. Both work great. CoastalTech is the website. I contemplated self-install but opted to get someone experienced to do it for me. While its straightforward to do the work, there are some tricks that an experienced...

    Just joined and have a couple questions

    i just bought a 2008 LTZ and had Gen 4 of the GM_LockPick and IPodUnlock installed by a local radio technician. Both work great. The LockPick opens up the DVD for viewing while in gear and the navigation system is usagle while in gear also. However, I prefer using Mapquest on my home PC and...

    SHHHH! License Plate Rattles

    I bought a new 08 LTZ Tahoe. Front and back only have 2 holes each for the license plate. I bought some nice Chevy logo'd frames for the plates but with only two holes on the back liftgate, it sounds like WWIII when you slam the door and I can hear them rattle. Has anyone purchased frame /...
