I thought I read something on here maybe a month or 2 ago for around $90 for the lockpick, which enabled all those features, ect. ?
Maybe I was wrong, and if so, my mistake..

prob $290...
Well my mistake!
Well in that case, that's a good price. If I really used it on a daily bases, it'd definitely be worth it.

I am going to grab one locally - I found a place online that pretty much meets that price plus the shipping it would cost.

FYI the rear camera feature will NOT work unless you run a wire from the lockpick harness all the way to rear tailgate so you can tie into the factory camera's power lead. Basically, you need to give the camera 12 v so it will give you a picture on the navigation screen. It is not that difficult but somewhat time consuming . I decided NOT to do it since I really don't think I would use the feature all that often.
From Installation Manual : If you would like to enable full control and viewing of your FACTORY REAR VIEW CAMERA
while in DRIVE or other gears, the included REVERSE CAMERA POWER output wire must be
connected as the power source for your camera. This 12V power output will turn on when the vehicle
is placed in reverse and also when selected by the user using the radio buttons. Currently, your
factory camera is powered from the reverse taillight source. This power is only present while you are
in reverse.
If you choose not to connect the REVERSE CAMERA POWER wire provided by the Lockpick
harness to your factory rear camera, the rear camera view while backing up will continue working as
normal. However, because the rear camera will have no power in other gears, it cannot be activated
by the Lockpick and will display as a blank or flashing picture if activated manually while in Drive.
Installation of the REVERSE CAMERA POWER wire to enable factory camera operation in all
gears is simply a matter of running a wire to the factory camera and connecting it in place of the
original power wire. Remove any panels covering the rear hatch in your vehicle. Then use a meter or
indicator lamp to determine the reverse power connection on the factory camera connector. Make
sure you are measuring directly on the connector at the camera location and not further back in a
different location. This wire will switch to 12V while the vehicle is in REVERSE and will be zero at
other times. Then cut this wire and connect the REVERSE CAM 12V+ power connection from the
Lockpick to the camera directly. Do not reconnect the original camera power source wire or fail to
cut the wire at the camera. Instead tape it up and disregard it. The Lockpick will provide all
necessary power and timing for the factory camera. Failing to cut the wire or connecting the
Lockpick power and factory power at the same time could cause the reverse tail light to illuminate at
improper times. Also, cutting the wire at a different location other than directly on the camera
connector could possibly interrupt power to other functions such as the actual reverse taillights or
rear obstacle detection systems.

To hell with all that hassle and cutting stock wires
I'll get the plug and play for the in motion dvd and nav
Any catch to those functions?

Nope..Those functions will work as soon as you plug the lock-pick in. There is NO cutting of any kind for DVD and Nav override.
