Picked up our WP Tricoat on August 8th here in San Antonio, TX. The wife has already gave the front valance a little scrape. I was really bummed to see it this weekend when I gave her her first coat fo wax. Has anyone on here had any experience (good or bad) with either of these companies? http://scratchwizard.net http://www.paintscratch.com

Yes the Navigation features is what we will use however the lockpick does allow video to be displayed while moving as well (I don't recommend because the driver will still look). Only other features are three more video inputs if you want to add more cameras, etc. There are programming features available to enable a front view camera once the vehicle is below 7mph but in drive (would work best for lifted trucks) or left camera view when turn signal engaged.

I have contacted coastaletech.com to inquire if they will support a group buy. I will create a new thread with the details once I get a response. I am not trying to add a rear view camera as i have the 302A package but I can't stand the unit locking out the majority of its features when the car is in motion. GM gives the option of having the lock-out disabled but not Ford. UPDATE: I received the response and sadly they state they do not have discounts available at this time. With that said, I am going to be purchasing my unit through solidsignal as they list the product $30 cheaper. FWIW I did call and ask numerous technical questions regarding this unit and I will try to pass on these answers as their website lacks in the details. If you have a factory camera you only need to install the three main plugs from the harness. The camera will operate as normal however now you are able to view the camera at any time aside from being in Reverse.The unit is basically a pass-thru device. You can install MFT/Sync updates and it 'should' not affect the operation of the unit.The device looks in the CANBUS for the code from the PCM saying car is in motion then blocks this code from the MFT system thereby keeping the entire system operational as if you are still in Park.The USB update feature on the lockpick is mainly used to update firmware to support additional vehicles or change the originally referenced code if a major CANBUS change comes out.You are free to leave the lockpick installed during dealership visits as the only issue you may have is the freedom in motion feature may stop working and then you only need to unplug for 5 minutes to resync to MFT.

Just joined the hybrid car owners with our 302A equipt'd SEL wearing White Platinum Tri-Coat. Originally the wife said since this is replacing my daily commute car that she would like to occasionally drive it. She hasn't let me drive it since we bought it a week ago! I have to sneak in late night store runs to get behind the wheel. =) We love the car and look forward to hopefully joining the 600 club eventually.
