Coastal Tech Ultimate Lockpick3 for 2006-2007 Prius

[csciguy]

I searched the forums today and didn't find any posts on anyone mentioning this. Has anyone checked it out or ordered it yet? I am aware of people complaining about their customer service. Does this still exist?

I hadn't heard of this being available for a 2006 until I saw your post. I just ordered one. Will post on how it works after it arrives. This could be between a week and never, depending on Coastal's stock supply. I have ordered several times from them and always had good service, so I am hoping to get it soon.

Just ordered mine. Finally! Now the Question is to either get an iPod with video or wait for the actual video iPod.

And it just shipped!

They're pretty quick with this, relatively speaking. The original was announced in February '05 (with a demo video dated November '04), but didn't ship until January '06.

I assume that you are all ordering the $300 option (ultimate lockpick 3).

I do not need video input... so it looks like I can get the basic model for $100, and it would unlock my NAV system on my '06. From what I understand... it would not unlock my phone.

It also looks like there is a "blue" model... but I am not sure if this works for '06 prius.

Please let us know if your installation causes any types of problems.

Well I ordered mine and hopefully lets see how this goes. I will let you guys know as well.

Jim, Why would you assume that we are all ordering the $300 one? I ordered the $229. My prius does not have bluetooth or NAV so I don't need the "Unblock Address Entry." I basically want the Video/Audio inputs and eventually add on the IPOD interface.

Has anyone ordered the $299 option? I am curious if it has the same effects as cutting the speed sensor wires for NAV and Bluetooth that messes up the mpg calculations on the consumption screen? I also wonder how they get the video feed without the "Check your surroundings for safety" message. How did they get the "DVD" voice command? I saw they just got the GVIF video input working with a few bugs to work out, but it looks like there's a lot of breakthrough lately on the '06 MFD. Lots of questions...

Are these kits one time use or can two friends share one? I know that's kind of a scummy question, but $300 to activate the address input (all I'm interested in) seems a bit steep.

My error. I saw a post regarding choosing the video device (video ipod). It completely slipped my mind that not all of us have NAV.

In my case... my priority would be:

1) NAV override (high)
2) Bluetooth override (medium)
3) Video input (no interest)

It looks like #1 alone may be available for $100... and that all 3 are available for $300. I personally have no need for video... so I would prefer to not get #3.

Bluetooth dialing would be nice... but right now, I just use the keypad on the phone itself when I need to press numbers... I would prefer to not spend an extra $200 just for that feature.

Greg,

I think that you can get the $99 option.

Since these are installed... I do not think that you can share them between more than one car
