Coastal Tech Ultimate Lock Pick 3 - Video!

Last week I had the same doubt as you.
Today I just installed the lockpick 3.
It took me less than 3 hour. (included 2 trip to home depot for tools...)
There is other third party for the video input. Coastal tech won the point because I believe its most integrated with prius operation system. And lots of prius here using it.
I have test iphone video output on tonight. sweet!
Can't tell the image quality since it's limited by iphone's mp4 compression.
toyota should seriously consider adding this to factory option.

 

That looks like a pretty nice mod. Once installed what kind of inputs are available (I'm assuming just RCA inputs) and will the video be displayed while the Prius is in motion?

 

I installed the Lock pick 3 and it works great. I have nav and the video is great quality. Every thing works while you are moving. They have no customer support at all, but it works. After the install you can dial phone numbers and trans the phone while moving. Greg

 

I forgot to answere the question about the inputs, they are RCA. I also forgot to tell you that my I Pod 5th gen does work but goes to black and white after about 5 minutes. My I touch 16 Gig works great, go figure.

 

You won't get any video if the blue cable isn't plugged into the back of the screen. That is the cable that taps into the video input on the MFD. Where are you plugging your video source into?

 

Gregvsandt,
Have you tried unplugging your yellow video input while watching video that is in black & white? My Zen does the same thing, but if I unplug the yellow cable for 1 sec, then plug it back in, it will return to color. Not sure how long it will last, because I just installed it today and haven't played with it much. 2008 with Nav and Ultimate Lockpick 3 +

 

Ok, my yellow video input harness went inline with an existing lead that was already in the MFD. The original MFD input has just a few wires (2 or 3). I have no satellite radio so I only had 1 vacant cavity on the back of the MFD. When you cycle through MODE, do you get CD, then DVD appearing in a narrow band across the top of the screen. If you can see "DVD" mode on screen, you then have to hit "audio" key and then the on-screen "picture" button. The "track up" button on the steering wheel will also get you there. If your unit won't display "DVD" when cycling through the modes, then there is a problem. I would recheck the pins on all the connectors. I found a couple of mine were a little difficult to seat all the way. The smallest connector on the lockpick goes in a lot deeper that the others.

 

Thank you for posting. I have an '08 touring with the top package and have been wanting to get video while in motion... yours is the first post that gives me any real confidence in coastaletech's LP3+ for this purpose.

How do you get your iPod hooked up if the inputs are RCA?

Does the iPod get power from whatever you're hooking it into to get its video on the dash screen?

Thanks for sharing your experience!

 

I only had 1 empty cavity for the satellite radio input. The lockpick filled that one and gave me a empty female connector to plug a satellite radio into. I will be working on installing a DVD player this evening. At least Coastal is attempting to fix your problem. Hope you get one that works.

 

Does this show everything on your iphone/ipad? Or just video playing?

I would love to know if this could be used to display the iphone navigation onto the Prius screen...
