Has anyone tried to install the GM Lockpick in the Acadia?
This unit is a plug-in unit that is designed to unlock features in the radios while the vehicle is moving like:
* DVD / Aux Input Video
* XM Category Scrolling
* NAV Destination Input
* NAV POI and Route management
* Unlock Camera / Backup Camera in Reverse Input
* OnStar Dialing
The last time I checked at the end of January, they hadn't tested it with the Acadia yet, and I didn't really want to be a beta tester.
As a note, the this device apparently works by telling the radio that you aren't moving, and subsequently, I believe, that the NAV unit won't update your location while any of these options are in effect. You can however, turn these features on and off so you can switch between NAV and other functions while driving. You just have to wait for the NAV to recalculate your location.
The unit sells for $249, and is available from Coastal Electronics Technologies at http://www.coastaletech.com/GMLOCKPICK.htm
The users/owners manual is available at: http://www.coastaletech.com/Downloads/GM LOCKPICK GEN 2.pdf
They also have videos available on the site that show the device in operation.
