Is this too good to be true? Could it work? I just purhcased it from the guy, but won't be able to figure out if it works until my nav gets installed a week or so from now.

Anyone else tried this? does it work?

I think the newer ones are just a lock pick codes. I've seen them around $200 - $250.

$4? I'd risk it..

Yep, it works! I had my high tech son put in the code on my '08 H2 Nav and it works all the time now. You don't have to stop anymore. I know it's a diversion when you are driving to have the nav unlocked, but I'm extra careful when I punch something in while underway.

I called my high tech son and he said the code requires an "interface and is dependent on your radio code." He steered me to this site which will give it to you for 3 dollars, BUT you still need something to interface the code into your system. You need to go into the tech2 and then the theftlock.

ya....let me know. I purchased yesterday (he actually hasn't emailed the code yet though) and I am chompin at the bit to see if it works, but I'll have to wait a good week or a little more to get all the factory stuff installed. It would save a heck of alot of $$$$ vs the lockpic, which I've found is currently the most inexpensive way to unlock.

He CONTACTED me, the magic "CODE" is to hit the mute button on the steering wheel 4 times to unlock and 4 times to lock.....

Didn't work for me......:twak:

So far no go on an '08 Escalade... Did he give any further instructions like you had to be parked or under/at/over a certain speed to do it, time between hitting mute button or if it needed to be pressed for a certain amount of time,... or any other details...? By his feedback it seems it works, we must be missing something...

Guys, you need the actual hardware component for this to work. Its a GM NAV/DVD UNLOCK interface that goes between the radio and the oem harness. Than with this installed the 4 Mute button depressions works. NO CODE or SECRET way will allow NAV/DVD to play unless you get the interface. Links and pasted content from website below.

TIRED OF LOOKING AT THIS?

backnblack, the original poster (#1) was looking to unlock his Nav to input directions while driving... That's what the ebay guy was selling too, "Cadillac Escalade Nav Override Bypass unlock"...

We do not ned the $250 lockpick to do this, it is done basically for free this way:
http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16488

both the lockpick and the above method involve removing the radio anyway, so why spend the $250!

I was looking for the nav unlock on the Escalade also, as I have done the above method on my H2...

I bought that "code" from the guy and it was "Press Mute 4 times BS" and also said BTW you must have the lockpic to do this code. DO NOT BUY THIS unless you have the lockpic.
