I installed the Lockpick 3. It eliminated the I agree and allowed nav and phone functionality while moving. I installed it last Fall, before coastal had the video on their site. The video is accurate, but I went very slow when removing the side (a/c) panels. The rest is easy. I believe there was another version available when I purchased mine that also provided IPOD interface. Hope this answers your questions.

I installed the coastal lokpick and it was the best thing I have done to the 2007. It eliminates the I agree at start up and provides full functionality of the nav system and phone while moving. It is great. My installation experience was somewhat longer than 30 minutes. It requires removing some of the trim to access the nav screen. Once there, it is a simple plug the lokpick in. Virtually foolproof and very easy. The slow part for me was the removing and reinstalling the necessary trim pieces. I went very slowly and deliberately as I didn't want to damage anything. There is a thread where someone else explained the process in great detail. As I recall, you start with the trim on each side of the shifter. After that is exposed, there is a screw at the bottom of the wood (actually plastic) trim on each side of the screen. Slowly remove those wood look trim pieces and then unscrew the bolts holding the video screen in place. Once that is pulled, the instructions are very precise on where to attach the harness. I suggest testing it before reassembly. Be sure to read the intstructions for making the nav system work while in motion. You have to press an icon on a screen. After you press the icon it wil go through a series of screens and then you can use the nav system. Good luck!

I just received the coastaletech "locpick" package for my GX 470, but the installation instructions were for a Prius. It said to pop out the dash center speaker which provides access to the rear of the screen. It is a simple find the right harness and insert the new harness. Does anyone know if the Lexus center dash speaker just pops out? The unit was delivered about 4 days after placing the order.

I purchased a GX470 earlier this year and the dealer installed the XM radio. Price was high, but it works well. I don't know which XM radio package they installed but there was no hesitation on their part. The XM antenna was installed on the dash as they said there had been problems with thefts when on the outside. I have no reception problems. I just received the coastaletech "lockpick" kit and will probably install it this weekend. Their instructions do not address how to access the wiring harness behind the screen. Their package does explain how to install it in a Prius, which is to pop out the center dash speaker and reach in. Does the GX470 center dash speaker just pop out and will that provide access to the right harness?

Soon after purchasing my new Lexus, I went to the local Sprint store to get a bluetooth phone. I am currently a Sprint customer. Imagine my surprise when the sales dude tells me that Sprint does not have any phones that work with Lexus. That store cannot successfully get any Sprint phone to work with any Lexus, so he recommended I go to another phone company. Sprint has mainly Samsung bluetooth phones so I will be avoiding the Sammys as I cancel my Sprint contract and move probably to Cingular.
