I have read the "DVD Nav Override" thread - I still don't get it

[nosro]

This is my first post. I just picked up my DTS two days ago and it didn't take me too long to find this forum. Good stuff!

I have read the entire DVD Nav Override thread (DVD Nav Override? (I wanna play movies!)) and I still don't understand what is applicable to the DTS - the thread covers STS, CTS, old, new. But I saw nothing specific to '06+ DTS.

Has anyone performed the DVD override on the 2006+ DTS and confirmed a working method to play DVD movies and enter navigation destination while the vehicle is moving?

I think that the DTS uses a different NAV head unit. The override is not possible in the DTS.

I wish that you could enter a destination while moving.

Here is a site that may have what you want.....A little pricy tho.... http://www.coastaletech.com/GMLOCKPICK.htm

Has anyone tried the Coastaletech "lock pick"? From what I can gather, it spoofs the GM LAN so that the radio thinks the vehicle is in Park instead of Drive. I do wonder if this has any side effects.

Official Coastaletech response is that the LockPick does not work on the DTS.

I'm not giving up yet - both the GMC unit and the DTS unit are both Denso head units. If they use the same GM CAN database, it should work on the DTS.

i'm not 100% sure what this lockpick actually does... the site deisgn is garbage but it looks like it unlocks locked features from the dic/nav; i just cant tell which, or if i should care?

lockpick wont work on a DTS
the 1791 wont work on a 06+ DTS
there is no bypass
aftermarket replacement is the only way

I am starting to suspect that there are overrides for most Cadillac models, but the new DTS and STS cannot be helped. Is this a fair statement or did I miss something on the DVD NAV Override thread about the STS? I have an 07 that I'd love to override.

Is there a way other than purchasing from Coastaltech?
