My Gig radios unlocked.



http://www.coastaletech.com/mygig.htm

Thankyou so muchfor posting that Dodge R/T.. Nice to see there is finally a superior looking alternative to FreeGIG/AllGIG/BlueGIG.. Now we just have to find out if it actuallyworks as advertizedlol

Slightly cheaper too, with more features. Definately looks promising.. Hopefully their tech support will be superior as well.. I waited over a month for a reply for a question about FreeGIG and am still waiting for a response.

Has anyone used this?

I just purchased it.. So as usual i'll let you know how it goes :)

I bought the wiring harness and a backup cam as well.. It's fun watching where youve been while driving.. You guys should know me by now.. Whatever takes my focus off of driving.. im all for it :)

Ironside took the plunge with FreeGIG and got screwed so I guess its my turn to see what happens with The MyGIG LockPick.

I nearly pulled the trigger on this the day I brought my RT home. I figured I would sit tight and wait for someone else to try it out. Thanks for taking one for the team..

I have heard that it does work as advertised.. but heard something wierd about it interfering with the starscan to the point that you have to remove it when getting updates applied to the car... Hope that's not true.

It's great that we don't have to cut into the radio to unlock this stuff though.. i had a REC in my mangum RT and if I wanted to add the rearview camera I would have had to send it out to have more circuitry added to the radio itself.. This is easily reversable if it doesn't work right..

Please take lots of pics when you are running the backup camera wires too..

Yeah thats going to be fun figuring out which way to run the wire for the cam.. Soo many options.

Now we need someone to try out a stage 1 and2 jet chip.. Im sure im gonna wind up jumping into that one too lol just not sure which way to go 1 or 2.. Obviously I would rather go with stage 2 but im really not in the mood to change out my exhaust.

I still have to update the pics of my amp and capacitor.. I upgraded them too but never got around to taking pics of them.. The capacitor has so many lights I feel like im getting pulled over by a cop when I have the rear seat down and the amp (600 Watt Rockford Fosgate 2 channel) is so over powered for the speakers I have them less than 1/4 volume limited and I still blew one of my subs. but theyre definately prettier than my current pics I have posted.. Well then again new is always prettier.

Ok, its been shipped and should arrive on the 29th..

Does anyone want to see pics of the entire MyGIG LockPick install or just the camera wire run?

Like should I make an installmanual or just pics of the highlights? :)

I am mostly interested in the camera wire run.. I think the acuall install is pretty straightforward.. it's an inline connector..

One thing that would be interested is if you can still connect via starscan and read the car.. I have heard that some people had issues updating the PCM with the mygig sitting on the can bus..

Does the camera you got have infrared as well?

I figured that you only wanted the camera run so thats why I asked before I start going crazy taking pics of everything :)

I just bought the camera on the MyGIG LockPick site as it just happened to be there so I bought it.. it doesnt have infrared but has a low LUX so im curious to see how well it performs at night.. Also im not sure if I can have multiple cameras with that system.. Looks like there are 3 video inputs but I wanted to be sure before buying more cameras..

If I can I will probably buy more like a front mounted one so I can get close to curbs without scraping my car.. or maybe one to get rid of some of the blind spots :) or maybe ill just get creative and find an interesting place to point the second one like in the engine compartment so I can watch the engine blow up one day or to the left side of the car so I can record the police officer pulling me out of the car and impounding it for speeding...

Maybe one camera for the front, one for the back and a 3rd that rotates 360 degrees under the car.. lol

If it works as advertised I will likely pull the trigger on the lockpick too.. That and a jet chip if the diablo tuner doesn't appear... :)

If you decide to buy one use the info at this link, there is a specialorder code to get an additional $30 off: http://www.wkjeeps.com/MyGIG_Lockpick.htm

ACK! Now you tell me lol

I'd love to see a full picture step through. Also, what exactly is starscan and how might this disrupt it?

Ok, I guess I'll be taking pics of the whole install then :)

Starscan is the device the dealers use to change settings in the car's computer.. pretty much if there is a setting that can be changed, the Starscan can change it. By having something in-line with the radio that interferes with the CAN-BUS signals it may cause problems when the car software is getting re-flashed or when a setting is changed.. Could cause failed installs, incorrect data readings, etc..

http://www.dcctools.com/en/starscan/index.html

Since the MyGIG LockPick is pretty much a CAN-BUS signal manipulator/blocker it can cause quite a few problems (Potentially)

I was contemplating on purchasinga Starscanbut I don't think it will do much good since the price is not worth the types of settings that can be changed.. Well maybe if you can change the vehicle's top speed it would be worth it. I forgot the exact pricing of the unit as I found a place that was selling them but I forget where that was as I lost interest in purchasing it.. Think it was around the $5000 range but that is just a guess because I really can't remember what it was selling for. If I find the site again ill repost the correct selling price and the site where it was available. (The Starscan is not officially available to the public however there are a few people that just want to make $ and use their dealer credentials to purchase the unit and resell it)

I have access to a friend with a starscan mobile.. so if I do pull the trigger on this, I can do some testing..

That would be cool to know.. thanks.. I dont know if you would want to do a software reflash but thats one of the biggest concerns I have is the LockPick corrupting a software flash.. but just knowing if the LockPick interferes in any capacity would be good enough to know.

Ok, thanks for the info. If the Lockpick just plugs in simply and doesn't have to be wired, can't you just unplug it before taking it to the dealer?

Yup, but pulling the radio each time you take it to the stealership will start to become tiresome.

I was hoping that in it's 'off' state, it doesn't interfere with the canbus.. I see that they make ya click the power button twice to enable it.. so maybe it sits there passively when off and only starts talking on the canbus once enabled manaually...

Ok, The MyGIG LockPick arrived along with the media cable and the backup camera.

I just finished installing everything and everything works as advertised. I tested the video while in drive, the backup camera in drive and the rear VESentertainment mode enable feature.. Everything works..

EDIT:The keyboard for the map screenwhile driving works as well. Just press the power button twice and the keyboard shows up.

I took pics of the install but I was freezing my balls off during the install since its like 10 degrees at the time of when I installed it so I kind of skimped on the pictures. I will post the pics that I did take soon..

I used one of the bolts that are used to fasten the license plate light to hold up the camera since I didn't want to drill any new holes. So the camera is situated right above the license plate and slightly to the right.

I snaked the Camera wire through the license plate light area since there is plenty of room between the light and the bumper. I then snaked the wire through one of the beams in the rear bumper to the right, and then up inside the car through a rubber grommet on the right side of the car above the right tire.
After that I wired it as a regular amplifier install by following the floor channels and running it under the carpet. There are 2 physical wires for the camera, 1 is a video out and the other is power.. The power wires are considerably shorter than the video cable so I ran them diagonally under the passenger seat to gain some length which worked out perfect as they just reached the power output wires that are built into the LockPick.

I was a little concerned about the performance of the camera in low light but the camera performs as if it was a infrared camera at night.. no issues in that area.. actually when cars are close it kind of floods the camera with light from their headlights. But you can see everything behind you perfectly on pitch black streets. The camera is also slightly fish eyed so you can see around your vehicle a little and not just in the very back of it.

I was wrong about the camera inputs.. There are only 1 camera input, 1 Video/Audio output, and 1 Video/Audio Input. Although I could get a splitter with a switch to add more cameras and switch between them.

Dip Switch for RER (Nav Enabled Radios) settings are as follows:
1: Down
2: Down
3: Up
4: Up
5: UP

Dip Switch for REN (NON Nav Enabled Radios) settings are as follows:
1: Down
2: UP
3: Up
4: Up
5: UP

Aside of setting the Dip switches, you just plug everything in..

The install went smooth and would have been extremely quick if it wasn't for having to run the camera wires. Can be done in under 10 minutes without the camera.. About 40 min with the camera.

Thecamera that is provided on the LockPick site doesn't need the Green wire connected to anything if you install it in the backof the car. The redgoes to the red of the LockPick's extrapower out and the black goes to the Black of the LockPick's Extra Ground wire. Otherwise you just plug the video of the camera into the cable marked Camera on the LockPick media cable (If you purchased it)

The system works simply andreliablywith no issues.. Very simple install. Its just a little annoying to have to switch to FM when you want to view in back of you while in motion, but the camera automatically comes on without any input when you put the car in reverse.

Most importantly the Navigation screen still works while viewing movies in drive or while using the backup cam which is a significant leg up over the Freegig system. Plus you don't need to use any switches to change between modes (Like the FreeGIG).. just press the on/off button twice.

All in all I would totally recommend it..

So what's your opinion?

Worth the coin?

Pretty warm there today eh? 10*F is pretty nice out.. It was about -22*F here yesterday.. (about -30*C).. I pulled my tail lights off in that cold.. that was not pleasant.. those plastic nuts are on there REAL tight.. and that friggin' ball socket on the outside corner of the tail light is a pain when it's cold. I'll post pics of my tint job at some point when I get the car cleaned up..

Well I guess it all depends on if you're willing to spend $ on unlocking those features... Personally I was pissed off that they were disabled and thatI didn't have a backupcamera so I was obsessed with defeating the blocks.. the camera is just a plus..

Personally I think it was worth it.. I was using my computer in the car to watch movies so not having to boot that thing every time I want to watch a movie makes it worth while to me and the feeling that I defeated something that restricted me in the past makes me all warm and fuzzy inside :)

Just that its cheaper and has more features than the FreeGIG also makes me feel like I got a better value for my $.

But I guess it would be like buying a DVD player for your car that you can actually use.. So if you look at it like that then I would say it was worth it.

The weather sucked so bad.. I snapped the plastic passenger kick panel in 2 while I was doing the install.. so pissed.. but I guess I should have had the car running while I was doing the install..

Futil,

Great info, and thanks for taking the test run for the rest of us. Can you keep us updated if you get the keyboard problem fixed? I currently have a MyGig RER without uConnect (when I had mine installed, I guess they were reworking the wiring harness from the radio to the mirror so they said I had to wait for that). The two items I was most interested in on the Lockpick were to enable the keyboard while in motion so a passenger could type in an address while in motion and it also states that it enables uConnect if it's not already enabled as long as you get a mic. So, I hope you are right and it was just a matter of getting the dip switches right :-)

Actually It wasnt really a dip switch issue, I just was so into playing with the backup camera andwatching DVD indrive that I only tested the keyboard in drive for like 2 seconds so I didnt spend a lot of time trying to get it to work and it probably works fine but I think I just didntdouble clicktheon/off button at the correct time.

I was REALLY sick yesterday and today with a really high fever so I didnt get a chance to check it out again but since thats what is holding you back from purchasing I'll check it out for you after I finish writing this post.

I did get some time to play with the rest of the features and so far I am really impressed with the unit.. very simple and most importantly.. it works! lol

By the way.. I also recommend the backup camera on the MyGIG LockPick site.. as I mentioned before it preforms excellent at night and works as if it had infrared but also they fisheyed the lens so that you can see all around the back of your car.. So much in fact that you can even see in the blind spots on the side of the car which i find amazing.. I went to the store shortly after installingthe system anda guy walked behind my car.. I noticed him in the camera long before I even could see him in my rear window which I thought was pretty cool..

Ok, I just hopped in my car and tested it out for you...

The map keyboard enabled while in drive and driving over 15mphDOES work.

As with all the other controls with the MyGIG LockPick, you just double click the on/off button when in the map's enter destination or any other area within the map that uses the keyboard and the keyboardappears and stays up (Doesnt disappear again when you slow down or stop then accelerate again)

So basically everything on this device does work as advertized.

Sorry I can't offer you any info on whether or not adding a mic will workas I already hada micinstalled in my car and didn't need to install that feature but im sure that will work too as this company doesnt seem to claimfeatures that their box can't do and they have been very straight forward with me whenever I contacted them.

The installation for the mic seems REALLY simple.. Just plug it into the middle plug on the radio.. So I don't think you will have any issues in that area especially if you purchase the micfrom them since it comes with the plug pre-installed. Basicallythe installation isso simple that I would be in shock if it didnt work. Plus $20 isn't that bad for a mic with the plug installed that you will need to buy anyway especially since the mic seems to be a high quality mic.

if you didnt check it out alreadyyou can see the mic installation here http://www.coastaletech.com/MYGIG_MICROPHONE.htm

They have this disclaimer on their site: Note: The microphone is available for use with the navigation MYGIG radio only. Non-nav MYGIG radios do not have the voice recognition and UCONNECT built in.

Since you have a nav enabled unit the mic should work on your radio.. but worst case scenerio you can just return the $20 mic if it doesnt work.

Also, so that you know, The MyGIG LockPick was tested on all 3 software versions 9.556, 9.561, and 9.707 and it works without issue on all software versions so you dont have to worry about buying it then not having it work when you upgrade your software.

This was confirmed from the factory and from my own testing.

Sounds like I'm definately in then! When I looked at their website before, I didnt see the microphone they sold there so I wasn't too sure what I would need to get, but I think that settles it. So now I just need to scope out a place to install it. Thanks for all your advice, now go get some sleep!

My Lockpick with backup camera and multimedia cable will arrive tomorrow, March 18. I was looking at where to mount the camera. Since there are two mounting holes in the camera bracketI'm wondering if just using one hole to attach it to the license plate light is going to be solid enough, considering all the vibration back there. Those little wings on the camera bracket don't look all that robust. I'd hate for the mount to come loose or break at the hole. Have you given much thought to long-term durability of this mounting method?

I've studied the area between the two license plate lights and it wouldn't bother me to drill two small holes, centered between the lights, and mount it there. Unless someone got down on their hands and knees the holes wouldn't be visible. Besides, the camera would be mounted there permanently and it would look like a factory install. I like symmetry and having the camera mounted in the middle gives it that centered look.

http://www.coastaletech.com/CAMERA%20SIZE.jpg

You can drill holes if you like if you don't mind drilling them but the tabs on the camera are made of pretty tough metal and the camera is on there solid.. I actually had a hardtime bending the tabsto adjust the camera.. Thereare no vibrations and you don't notice the camera being off centered at all even though were talking about an inch off center which in my case wasn't worth drilling holes in the car..

Also keep in mind I was freezing my ass off when I did the install so I didn't give too much thought about where I was going to mount it.. I just found the fastest way to mount it and threw it on.. But using the single tab/screw has been fine in the aspect of durability and stability.. It hasn't came loose since I installed it at all.. if you secure it to the soft plastic on the bumper you may introduce vibrations while trying to make it symmetrical so I would stick to hard plastic or metal drill points..Also.. Mounting it too close to the licence plate light may white out your camera at night as it is really sensitive to light which is also why I put it off center.

If you can find a hard centered spot without mounting it on the license plate light obviously that would look better and would be recommended but I just wanted to let you know that you don't "need" to drill holes if you don'thave too much of a problem withit not being symmetrical.

Also.. Mounting it too close to the licence plate light may white out your camera at night as it is really sensitive to light which is also why I put it off center.

Thanks for the quick reply. Wouldn't using one of the license plate light mounting holes to attach the camera make it closer to the light than the idea I had, where it would be centered between the two lights, slightly away from either one? I guess maybe I'll experiment with the view and temporarily mount it with some 3M adhesive squares.

If I end up mounting it to the plastic bumper I plan on using large fender washers to distribute the pressure over a larger area. Maybe even spray paint them black for a more factory look, not that anyone else would notice.

Okay, it's March 18 - where's my Lockpick? [:@]

Mounting it too close to the licence plate light may white out your camera at night as it is really sensitive to light which is also why I put it off center.

My Lockpick was waiting for me when I got home yesterday evening. I spread everything out on the table andsorted, studied, read, set the dip switches, etc., to be sure everything was there and that I understood exactly what to do. It doesn't look all that difficult if I take it one step at a time. I'm tempted to open up the Lockpick module and take a pic for anyone who is curious but I probably shouldn't.

One radical idea I had onany license plate light interference and the 0.3 low lux sensitive camera is to add a NC relay to the license plate lights. The relay would betriggered by the power output to the camera. Thus, whenever the camera is turned on, whether automatically when I shift into reverse or manually,the license plate lights would turn off. ;)

I'm tempted to open up the Lockpick module and take a pic for anyone who is curious but I probably shouldn't.

Curiosity has always been one of my weak points, so here are a few pics before I start installing.

The first one is all of the hardware you get if you order the Lockpick with the optional multimedia cable and backup camera. There are also some easy-to-follow instruction guides. They are the same ones that can be viewed on the Lockpick website.

Thesecond picis the "guts" of the Lockpick module.

I get he feeling that you own a different car than I do because I don't have 2 license plate lights.. Only 1.. So I couldn't mount between them.. But if you have 2 lights then it shouldn't be an issue as far as light sensitivity is concerned.. Plus the added light from the backup lights/rear lights/brake lights/and license plate lights actually adds a lot of light to the video when viewing at night.. it looks like you have a spotlight in the back of your car when viewing through the camera at night with your lights and brakes on.

You may not have any issues with vibrations by mounting directly to the bumper or soft areas but I wanted to say that as it is a possibilitybut I don't know for afact since I didn't try it.

It's Kind of funny that the day after I was telling you how strong the tabs are, They wereput to the test when someone tried ripping the camera off my car when I was parked inthe parking lot at my job..They bentthe tabsslightly, then tried unscrewing the camera by rotating the camera around in the base (Which doesn't do anything except rotate the lens)which is what tipped me off to someone trying to steal it as my video was almost upside down when I started to leave from work.. Afterwards I realized that there was another advantage to screwing the tab into the license plate light screw.. Most people don't carry Torx bits with them when they try stealing cameras so that made itdifficult for the person to rip the camera off (I also noticed they tried to unscrew the Torx screw as it was all scratched) .. If it was screwed into the soft plastic of the bumper I think they would have been able to simply pull the camera off..

Now I am starting to think that maybe I should relocate the cam to a more hidden or not so noticeable place as if someone really wants the camera they will be back with a Torx bit.. At least the camera comes with an RCA connector close to the back of the car that would make the camera easy to replace in the event of theft.. It would suck having to rewire the whole camera again on top of getting it stolen..

Wow, your camerahas only been on there less than a week and someone has already tried to take it. This makes me rethink some mounting ideas.

Yesterday I was looking at whatwould be requiredto remove the entire fascia. I have to take the top half loose anyway if I want to mountthe camerabetween the lights. The hardware packet has two "one-way" nuts withscrews and washers. No one couldloosen the screwsonce those nuts are tightened down without putting a wrench on the nuts. Impossible to do without partially removing the fascia. If I add some wide fender washers there's no way anyone could just pry the camera loose. The screw heads are just Phillips, so I might see if Home Depot has something similar in Torx or some anti-theft bit. They makes such things for fancy license plate frames.

ButI don't want people to even notice the camera. One option is to mount it to the inside of the fascia and drill a hole so just the lens is sticking out, flush with the surface. If I could find a locationthat would be aesthetically pleasing I might go that route.

My car is an 07 Sebring. I thought the Avenger setup was the same, as far as the license plate lights are concerned.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b355/roadijeff/P3200290.jpg

I see what you were talking about now.. The 2008 Avenger just has a single light in the center so I totally see why you were saying you wanted in the middle now and that's definitely where it should go..

Its pretty stable if you just used one screw on the center (I know you're gonna use 2 screws though because I can tell you don't like an unfinished look :) and should be fine in the middle of those lights as far as the brightness is concerned. Basically as long as there isn't a light shining into the camera you're ok..

That's cool that it comes with one way nuts.. I didn't even try using them so I didn't notice.. Considering that someone would pull down on the camera I guess putting washers on the back should distribute the pressure of someone trying to rip it off..

Cool concept mounting it inside the fascia.. I dont know if I would have the balls to drill that big of a hole but it definately would save you the trouble of getting it stolen.. I havnt really put any work into moving it since I installed the system.. I barely had the time to get the car washed.

After some thought I decided to go with the external mount idea I originally had - mainly because I felt uneasy about drilling a camera lens size hole in the fascia. I'll see how attractive it is to thieves.

I spent most of the day last Sunday, off and on,removing various trim pieces so I could route the camera wires next to the factory wire harness from back to front. Because the wires for the power were so much shorter than the video I soldered an extra 5 ft to them and moved the fuse holder so that it is behind the MyGIG. I figured ifit ever blew I, or the next owner some year, would lookbehind the radio instead of tearing up trim panels.

Although I'm currently only using the multimediaharness for the camera I have an idea brewing to mount some RCA jacks on the inside of the center console storage compartment for the 3 input connectors. It would be an easy way for my wife to connect her iPod and who knows what the video IN could be used for. I think this project would be a LOT easier than routing the wires for the camera.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b355/roadijeff/camera.jpg

The camera is so cool. I've turned it on while driving home at 12:30 a.m. and it still gathers enough light from the taillights to see things on an otherwise dark highway. I didn't know it would do this but even if the MyGIG is turned off the camera display comes on automatically when I shift into reverse.

I tested a DVD movie with the car in drive and it works just fine. Not that I would ever watch a movie while driving or anything - just a bonus feature. ;)

I also did this install with the Lockpick and the rearview camera. Have you noticed that the camera gives you a mirror effect image on the screen? Did I install it incorrectly? The cars coming from the left appear to be coming from the right on the screen.

You hooked up the third camera wire didnt you? ::hint:: ::hint::

I don't know what you mean by third camera wire

Sorry I was too busy being a wise ass to elaborate.. I'll stop acting like a jerk..

There is a positive, negative, and mirror wire on the camera as well as the RCA video plug..

The third mirroring wire should not be connected (I forget which color it was)

Thanks, I will check if it is touching the metal on the back of the unit

I just stole this from one of my previous posts..

Thecamera that is provided on the LockPick site doesn't need the Green wire connected to anything if you install it in the backof the car. The redgoes to the red of the LockPick's extrapower out and the black goes to the Black of the LockPick's Extra Ground wire. Otherwise you just plug the video of the camera into the cable marked Camera on the LockPick media cable (If you purchased it)

So its the green wire that doesnt need to be hooked up which will mirror the image if it is..

So its the green wire that doesnt need to be hooked up which will mirror the image if it is..

Yes, tape the green wire so that it cannot touch anything metal and thus ground itself or you will not have the mirror effect.

I insulated the end but taped it next to the black camera ground and left the little yellow sticker attached that says to ground it if I don't want the mirror effect. I figure maybe a future owner might want it the opposite way.

Is it just me or is anyone else unable to input with the keyboard while moving onthe Point of Interestscreen.
The computer keeps denying me access to the keyboard as soon as I move the car. Ithought Lockpick was supposed to disable all thesefeatures so that we could access them while moving.

Did you try double pressing the power button while at that screen? It should enable the keys after that.

Yes, I have pressed the power button twice just like for the other features. I've had the lockpick installed for a few weeks and everything else works fine except that feature for me.

That feature was a little different to activate and I only used it once to see if it worked in the first place but that was when I first purchased it so I am a little rusty in that area.. I will check it out in my car and let you know more info about it.

Is it just me or is anyone else unable to input with the keyboard while moving onthe Point of Interestscreen.

Mine will do that unless I toggle the power on/off button twice rapidly. Then I can use the keyboard while moving.

If I don't do that I get the "This feature is disabled while in motion" message,or something like that. After I toggle the power button and try it again that warning doesn't pop back up.

Well, this is interesting. After I posted that comment yesterday about my POI keyboard input screen working while in motion I got to thinking that Imight have been using the nav street address keyboard instead of the POI.

On my way to work I tried the POI keyboard and it worked without me even having to toggle the power on/off button. I tried it again on the way home last night, without toggling the Lockpick mode on, and it worked again. Maybe it has something to do with the v9.713 update.
