One more thing - I was using the prius plug in under the seat unit in my GX before the Lockpick - if you still have this setup, sell it and get a lockpick - I had no idea since I put it in when I bought the car, but tones of stuff didn't work right with the prius unit. Sometimes it would take a few miles before the unit would figure out I had moved at startup. In tunnels etc it would just stop tracking the vehicle and the voice guidance didn't work except to tell you that you arrived - the lockpick works great with none of these issues!

Got my Ultimate Lockpick and it works as advertised. DVD picture on front screen is unbelievable as to quality. Rivals the picture on my DLP in my home theater.

 

I just wanted to announce that CoastalTech has just become the newest vendor on ClubLexus!

That means, among other things, that they can come on here as a company and that things like group buys can be initiated in the vendor forum.

 

i installed it was well...

ultimate lockpick 1 with RSES.... everything worked as promised except DVD... called Dave at CoastalETech...they shipped me a new one....

There was an issue with some of the DVD's not working in the front.. its resolved... I'll tell you when I have it all working

 

Silver Lady .....

One must put a "e" between Coastal and Tech, to get to Coastal's website.

Thanks, Cap. They should also have an official contact right here on CL. I'm not sure if it will be the one on the vendor list, so I didn't want to post the wrong one if it might not get checked.

 

sounds like I was not the only one with the DVD not working...still waiting for my replacement unit...2weeks and counting. Glad to hear units are going in and working as expected.

 

It was Saturday (9/9) when first installed the lockpick and found out the DVD feature was not working so I sent CoastaleTech an email and left a voice message. That Monday (9/11), I couldn't wait so I called. I first spoke to Kelley who later transferred me to Dave. Dave knew what the problem was right away. Apparently he had just found out there was an issue specific to the GX470 with factory DVD in the center console. He simply had to make some software updates so that it would work properly. He said he would ship a new piece out right away. On Wednesay (9/13), I received a call from Kelley asking when I needed the part. I said if they can send it overnight, that would be great. Well on Thursday (9/14), the part was delivered (from FL to CA). I installed the lockpick that night and everything is working GREAT!

I really want to say that coastaletech has been excellent through this issue. They have provided prompt and professional service.

To further my experience, I had mentioned to Dave that I wanted to add headrest monitors and use the factory video out. He included a separate video plug with RCA output that I just had to plug into the existing wiring (like the lockpick). Best of all, they did not charge me for this. I highly recommend coastaletech.

 

I recieved my replacement as well it is working with a factory DVD and RSES

thanks.... they are a pleasure

 

Do they have the ultimate lock-pick for the 2006 GS 300?

 

Are these pretty easy to install and does it come with step by step installation instructions? I just ordered the ultimate kit. Anyone try the ipod kit? Does it work with the nano 2 gig?

 

Just got shipping notice on my replacement unit. Seems as if others have had a slightly speedier response on getting thier new units - as I am in my 3rd week of waiting for the replacement. I think I was one of the first ones that ordered these and Kelley indicated they were out of stock when I was in need of the replacement unit. I will agree, however, the customer service and reponse from Coastaletech has been good! I dont mind waiting so long as the unit works as promised - and sounds like the DVD issue has been fixed.

 

New unit arrived - installed 10min later and all works perfectly!!

It was totally worth the wait!

 

Glad to hear all went well! I am looking foward getting this done.
