The ultimate lockpick (with extra inputs for external A/V and additional cam input) is still not available. However the basic (gives you dvd/nav in motion) is. It is the cheaper of the two, and if you can live without the A/V input feature, get the basic, its available now. Yes I do have a tracking number with USPS. Again I called one more time today to confirm that it is for the HDD Sync, they assured me it is.

 

Okay, so when I saw that jlcook83 had been giving a shipping #, I went ahead and pre-ordered the unit as well. I got a call this morning telling me that the Ultimate Sync Lockpick (HDD based) was still under pre-order and would be so for another 2 months, but that the basic Lockpick was ready and shipping. Offered to refund me the $80 difference and send me the basic version out in the mail today. I took him up on the offer.

Should have it here by early next week since I paid for 3 day shipping (have a trip coming up, would be nice to have). I'll let everyone know how easy the install is and how well it works.


I decided to forgo the Ultimate version, because the only reason I wanted it was to add a front facing camera for parking front in. I came to the decision that I would want the camera to look clean, and could not figure out how I would mount it on the front, and also figured it would be expensive to have done right. Figured I would never end up installing the camera because of this, so I went with the basic which has pretty much all the other features.

If you don't need a 2nd camera and don't need to connect secondary A/V connections (dvd player, gaming system, etc...), get the basic version.

 

I wonder why the 2 month wait....I still want the Ultimate one....I'll add a camera to the front. Be sure to post up what you get....with plenty of pics!

 

FYI - Their web page now says available for the harddrive based sync lockpick and no mention of anything called "Ultimate". It does say that they have a video cable adapter avail. if you want to add a cam. I called to try and get some clarification but ring ring ring...........

 

Must have taken the Columbus Day holiday. If I'm not mistaken, there is another company that makes the by-pass, but it costs more.

 

I wonder if they decided not to offer the Ultimate package any longer. At least it shows a demo video clip on a F-150!

 

They also have a video of the install on an f150 --- way more involved than I was hoping for!

 

Piece of cake....I have the instructions from the workshop manual if you need them.

 

Do you mean ford dealer workshop manual for removing the nav?

 

Yes, that is the one.

 

That would be way helpful! I just ordered the lockpick and a cam today.
Do you have a hard copy or is it in PDF file or something?

 

I can scan it and send it in a .pdf format. PM me your email address.
