Issue with Costal Tech "I agree" override
#16
MultiTasking Mom
the coastal product has been on my watch list as well, but their focus is the prius and highlander hybrid. although the harnesses and such should be similar to lexus, the fact that they haven't released lexus compatible products has made me wait.
the good news is that for those you of who have ipods, Vais, a new CL vendor, sells an integrated iPod solution that also presses I Agree for you after a few seconds. it doesn't do anything else, but the software override on the Nav in motion and the cutting of the VSS for the bluetooth solve those other problems.
we recently added the Vais unit and did the various hacks, and now we can (1) control iPod with factory controls and view song titles on screen, (2) turn on the car and I Agree is pressed automatically in 5 seconds, (3) have full BT functionality on the go and (3) input the nav hack sequence when, and only when, we have a need to (which is probably about once a week at most).
in any case, i know it's not everything Coastal's does, but at least it is compatible and there are absolutely NO adverse effects to the nav system or the BT system.

to program it you go into the simple mode by pressing Scan 8 times quickly. the screen will show Ipod Interface or Simple Mode. then press and hold Disc Repeat until you hear a long beep. that will activate the I Agree bypass. you can test it by hitting MAP and waiting 5 sec to watch it go away. if it does not go away, then most likely you do not have the I Agree bypass, in which case you need to contact Vais for a firmware upgrade (aka send the unit back to them and they will update it).

I have no experience, just went thru their website yesterday.
Note, it is a small outfit, and some people have complaints with their responsivness (in the past, anyway).

Quality Coastal Products
the unit that is being referred to manufactured by Coastal was never advertised, offered or sold as compatible with the Lexus. It was sold and advertised as compatible with the Toyota Prius ONLY. When Lexus owners called or emailed- they were told to wait and that it was not compatible. If you buy a product that was not made for your car-you can't blame the product.
It cetainly isn't fair to Coastal.
The lockpick series, released last week, is compatible with the Lexus.
We have released a really great product for Lexus owners and have updated our website with increased functionality for our customers, a secure shopping cart, and an application guide. The Coastal Lockpick unlocks navigation, bluetooth, ipod, video and audio and more.
Its a great unit! It is at http://www.coastaletech.com/LOCKPICK_MAIN.htm
Thanks so much!

Kelley (Coastdave), can you post or point to your installation guide for the Ultimate Lockpick (on a GX), I want to see what it entails before ordering (i.e. whether self installable with moderate skills, or I would need to arrange for a local "installer" to do it)?

Do-it-Yourself :)
Hello Brooks
The unit is a simple plug and play-no wires to run, no cutting, no soldering.
The car remains stock in appearance. JUst plug it in and go
You will get to the back of the screen to plug your connectors in.
Generally, a moderate install -half an hour or so-less if you've done it before.

I have the XM kit plugged into my nav screen for my '05 GX. Does your Ultimate unit interface with this unit or does it use a separate connector.

Hello
Different years and models have different equipment in them.
Unfortunately, all GX's are not made equally
We are adding models/years all the time !
