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

Remove this ad
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.

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.

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

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

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?
