Its recommended to disconnect the battery....but i did notice in the video he did not...both my installer still did it for precaution

 

A few more questions. It looks like the wiring harness has a lot of slack. Did you just wire tie the slack to keep the plastic connectors from rattling? What about the lockpick module? Where did you mount it and how did you secure it? I'm thinking about putting the usb cable in the glove box to update the lockpick. Do our trucks have the second USB port? I've seen where people are adding the cable to make this extra port accessible. If so, I may put mine in the center console.

Thanks

 

Possessed007, If you press and hold the left side of the steering wheel media button do you get the backup cam to display with your version of F/W?

 

I didnt pay attention wut my installer did with the slack...but i know the unit itself he put it behidn the panel that pops out passenger side on console...but if u get a usb cable i would run the cable in glovebox or top center speaker....

abotu the second usb yes it works fine i did it i have it in my handrest ..i plug my ipod and put it in the sleeve that under the handrest.

 

well mine is the answer phone button on steering wheel...and also u can have the dvd playin with without having to go activate it if ur not in park..

One thing I noticed today is when i touch to bring up the climate controls on the screen it doesnt work for some reason all of a sudden...I will deactivate the lockpick to see if thats the problem

Keep us updated on what you find with the climate control issue. I have my lockpick ordered. Hopefully it will be here by this weekend.

Thanks

 

I sent email to coastaltech Wed 12:02AM and the same day I recevied a phone call from them to tell me the update is on their site a week ago and it fixes the A/C issue....WOW GREAT SERVICE!!!

 

My lockpick is out on truck for delivery today. I hope to get it installed this weekend. keep us updated if you have any other issues.

Thanks

 

I installed my lockpick today. I went ahead and installed the USB2 in the console as well while I had everything disassembled. It took me about 3 hours. I didn't rush any and disconnected the battery for 15 minutes as suggested. I installed the latest flash right after the install was complete. I am very happy. It unlocks all the features. While I'm driving the passenger can be watching a DVD, I can then switch to the backup camera, then input a destination on the nav, switch back to the DVD (still playing) and then the voice prompts to my destination play in the background. I definitely recommend the lockpick. You will need to purchase the USB cable to do the firmware updates. The instructions say it is included, but it was not. I ordered mine from Sonic Electronix and paid 229.00 no tax and free shipping. It shipped out the same day I ordered it.

 

I finally did the update yesterday....everything went smooth...A/C controls were working until at a certain point the problem happened again...

I shut down vehicle restarted and the A/C controls were working again on screen...I was told by them that the problem was fixed but it seems its still there...now I will try to see when does it happen...if anybody else experiences this please advise.

 

Can you still control the A/C with the buttons(not using the touch screen)? I have not seen this issue. Hopefully I will not. Is you update version 1.7?

Thanks

 

I have the latest one from their site.....i tried everything hasnt doen it again I will wait and see ....but before I did the update I had that problem then it did it once after the update weird stuff....

yes I was able to use the controls but no touch and not all controls are at bottom
