STS LOCKPICK's (Video In Motion) New Prices

[drjdan]

On 2008:

1. Does reset to the factory default each time restart car?

2. If not, how to set back to factory default?

3. If when activate it thinks the car is not moving, how does the navigation system do the routing?

The Video is for 2007+ STS Vehicles... 2005-2006 are different. If you put dip 5 down like in the video that would probably be your problem.

1. Yes, System will be off when vehicle is re-started.
2. Press the Mute button 4 times to activate it or press it 4 more times to deactive it.
3. Navigation system does not work in active mode. THe way these mods work is to trick the navigation unit into thinking you are not moving. Therefore you will not move on the map when you activate the system. If you want to use bluetooth while using navigation you can active the system, make your call and then re-activate it and the navigation system will recalculate you.

Hey Tomm, I am new to this just picked up a 05. The first thing I noticed was the lock out. So I just started searching for a solution and I found out about your research and development of this part. Well I never finished reading that your part was on backorder..and ordered the part of your website..... But It really dosen't matter to me I already sent a payment, and well just send me one when the become available.. Dont bother sending me a refund I can wait.. thanks AJ

Yet another mounting idea...



What I did was get a normal rocker switch from the local parts store. This style seems to be available at all of the chains. The square design is larger than the hole left by removal of the lighter/power port. Get the mounting plate from the store also because the hole is too large for the switch to mount alone. I cut the mounting plate down to fit behind the hole and set the switch inside.



There is gobs of room for the wiring once the power port is removed. The switch has a decent look and feel as well and works great with the system. This also makes for easy access for either the driver or passenger.

Is there any transmission codes that will eventually come out. I work at a cadillac dealership and saw an escalade with a lockpick in service. He brought it in because the service engine soon light came on and it would not shift right. They removed it and reset the system with the tec 2 and it was fine again. Has anyone had any problems like this.

PLEASE, PLEASE tell me that they would not even consider using GPS tracking information to decide shift points!!!

We received shipment confirmation that the backordered connectors finally shipped to us and we will have them next week. By Wednesday we will have stock again on the 2005-2006 STS Units.

Did you disconnect the unit as I explained in my earlier post before touching the toggle switches? I know you say you tried it in different positions but unless you disconnect the unit from power you can switch them all you want and it will not make a difference. We test each unit prior to shipping so its rare that something happens once it leaves here and 99% of the time if something is wromg its user error.

Disconnect power from the.... Make sure all DIP's are off... Not all ON... Wait a minute and reconnect. If there is still a problem send it back and I will test it. It also takes a week or more when you post to reply so when I dont hear from you in 2 weeks I assume you got it working.

Hello TOMM....i sent you a PM regarding a repair on my lockpick harness...thanks...

How do I get one of these for my 05 STS?

[tomm]

Ok, All backorders that were placed in the past 2 weeks were made today and some shipped today and the balance will ship tomorrow.

After taking into consideration the small profit we make and the amount of time we spend on making these, testing them and supporting them we have decided that we are are no longer going to make these mods. By now all forum members that wanted one have been taken care of. This was started just to service the forum members here and I think we have accomplished that. Glad I was able to help you guys out... Now its back to our normal business and time to retire the soldering iron.
