Lockpick for 2006 Prii

Lockpick for the 2007/07 Prius became available on 12/13/06. I received mine on 12/15 and it works great.

Well worth waiting for.

 

Check with CoastalTech. With the basic kit, you can use the Navi while moving, but I believe automatic "I Agree" removal is part of the A/V kit.

It says that, it doesn't do that. You will get address unlock with basic, but you won't get "I Agree" until you add the part that plugs into the MFD. I think there was a poster in another thread that got confirmation from Coastal that both the basic unit and the MFD unit are needed.

In any case, I installed the basic unit first and drove around for a few days before adding the other parts. "I agree" was not pushed automatically even though it was listed as a feature on the instruction sheet.

$300 for bluetooth! that is insane.

I had the same experience.

No "I Agree" until I hooked up the MFD unit.

That's amazing!

1. That you got an email response! I think that's the first I ever heard of anyone getting one from Coastal.

2. That they say the $99 kit will do the "I Agree" when all the early adopters report otherwise.

Please let us know if it actually works.

I received the basic lockpick on Monday and can confirm that it does press the "I Agree" button and it does allow me to input destinations while driving. The I Agree screen appears for about 3 seconds and then the button is pressed by the system and goes away. The installation literally took 30 seconds.

One of several. There are several mentions in that thread string and others in another discussion. As well as similar reports in the Yahoo! Prius tech group.

You focus on the "I bet" line at the end, I am looking at "The "I agree" override will not work in auto with only the Basic unit installed. Someone else noted this in the thread stating they called CoastalETech to confirm before they closed for the holidays. "

In any case you will be able to answer this very soon when you get your basic unit and take the 5 minutes to install it. If it does work for "I Agree", then the basic unit contained in the higher cost units is not the same as the $99 version. That seems strange.

Until your previous post above, I have only seen people complaining that Coastal never answered their emails. They definitely seem to be improving in their customer relations (though I've never had problems in 3 or 4 different orders).

That settles it - I was wrong. The full price version must have a different basic module. The instructions are the same and they say it does the "I Agree", but several of us have confirmed that it doesn't work without the MFD part installed.

Thanks for the info!

Scott-

Shipping was pretty slow for me too. The package ships from Florida, and it took over a week to arrive. I also had the "Billing Information Received" message for awhile.

 

I have had several emails and phone conversations with Coastal Electronics Technologies regarding the lockpicks for 06/07 Prius only. Yes, you can order the $99 basic lockpick and it will unblock the Nav and remove the "I agree". BUT...if you order the Ultimate Lockpick 3, the "I agree" will not be removed by the simple DVD mod alone, you have to hook up the mod behind the MFD before the "I agree" is removed. HOWEVER...if you want to unblock the NAV, remove the 'I agree", AND unblock the bluetooth phone on 06/07 prius only, you MUST order the $299 Ultimate Lockpick 3 version whether you want the audio/video features or not. You can't just order the Blue lockpick for $149. I spoke with Kelly at Coastal and told her that some of us were misunderstanding the website and she is going to see if it needs updating.

Also, my mods were shipped out UPS ground the day after I ordered and from Florida to Texas it took eight days including the weekend. It was out of Coastal's hands within 12 hours of my order. I say that is FAST shipping! They make Excellent mods and have prompt service, but just like any supplier, have occasional backorders and holiday complications due to supply and demand. They apparently have a family run business so they may not provide the instantaneous email or phone support some are used to but they have high quality products and stand behind them.
