I've searched many CL threads and I cannot find the answer so I am hoping someone on this forum can help.

Is there an advantage(s) of installing both the SL2Vi from Vaistech and an Ultimate Lockpick1 from Coastal Tech?

What I want to be able to do are the following and have them controlled through the Nav:
- use my Ipod for music
- use my Ipod for video viewing on my nav screen
- in the future, add/install an external DVD player and additional monitors
in the front seat headrests
- bypass/override the limitations of the nav and other stuff (bluetooth, etc...)

I know that either one of the above products allows some of the capabilities, and at the same time overlap (i.e. provide the same capabilities). But, neither one of them has all. So, I guess the question is not only what are the advantages (like can both be installed to take advantage of the total features), or is there an issue with installing both?

Any insight you may have based on either experience or evaluation or investigation, would be greatly appreciated. I purchased the SL2Vi during the recent GB and before having it installed, have been thinking that I also should get the Lockpick and have them installed at the same time if having both makes sense.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

I have the Vais tech video and everything works well the only problem is in order to play the video from the ipod the parking brake must be on. I am trying to find out a way to play the video while I am driving but so far There is no answer.

I saw your reported issue on the other thread(s). I am surprised folks haven't provided an answer for you yet on that one. Bummer.

I will let you know if I have similar issues when I get mine installed.

For all others, back to my question.... Does anyone have any feedback/comment on whether or not having both the vaistech and lockpick1 modules is a good thing or simply a waste of $?

Did yall purchase the SL2Vi from the vaistech site itself? I've seen these being sold on ebay as well for about $150 cheaper. Just tryna see if that would be a safe buy.

A while a ago one of my first cars i bought was a chevy Tahoe. I had flip down screens and a in dash tv/ dvd player put in. Had the same problem the monitor would only play the dvd's in park while the brake was on. My solution was i had a friend of mine that does that type of thing just wire it so that my brake light was always on therefore allowing the dvd to play. Then disconnecting the fuse to the e-brakes light on the dash. It worked fine for me.....but then again this aint no CHEVY!!!!
