Lockpick3

I just ordered the ultimate 3+ lockpick for my 2006 with nav/JBL. From what I have gathered it is in fact a plug in installation that is completely reversable. However, while the "remove I agree" from the Nav is a 2 minute install requiring no disassembly, the others all reguire disassembly of the dash. I had mine apart already to install the factory XM kit, and it was not particularly daunting.
I was a little concerned about Coastal's customer service from many of the posts here. I was surprised to receive an email notification from UPS that my order was shipped less than 30 minutes after I placed the online order. I asked for 2nd day air shipping and UPS shows it in transit to me and on time.
I'll post again after I get it installed.

 

A big thumbs up for Coastal ETech! T
he lockpick 3+ that I ordered on Tuesday, arrived today. I got it installed in about a half hour. The Nav unlock took less than a minute to install with no tools or disassembly. Just slide the driver's seat back.
Everything works as advertised.
Partial disclaimer, I am a competent mechanic with proper tools and workspace. However that is not what I do for a living. If you did not want to install the audio connection to the radio, I am pretty sure that you could install it through the opening for the front center speaker and not dissasemble the dash or remove the display.

 

I am curious what the Lockpick 3 provides for the cost. Yes I have looked at their site. From reading, there appears to be 3 versions of the Lockpick 3, from $99 to $299. I'm not sure which to get.

 

All I really want to do is enable folder view of a MP3/WMA CD when the car is moving. Does the basic lockpick do this? That device seems awful expensive for this tiny little function I want to enable.
