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.

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 install manual or just pics of the highlights? :)

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...

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...  :)

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..

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 purchasing a Starscan but 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)
