They did not even address the sound dropping out.

I emailed them yesterday and they responded asking me some questions. I'm still waiting on the second reply.

The DVD situation is very aggravating, when I turn the truck off or stop the dvd and switch back to radio mode, the dvd is never at the spot where I stopped it.

I have a gmc denali with nav that does the same thing you're describing with respect to the DVD continuing to play even if it's not selected as a source. I think that's pretty normal for it to play unless you explicitly stop it. Totally different NAV unit however.

however, it doesn't sound right for it to be playing while the car is off. That is definitely bad!

Mine is not playing while the car is off. Before I turn the car off, I stop the dvd and put it on radio mode. Then the next morning I get in my truck and start it, it's in radio mode and I switch it to DVD mode and the dvd is playing. I think it shouldn't be.

My gut is telling me is that it has to do with truck thinking it has a VES. I do not have a VES but with the lockpick it now thinks it does. You can play a rear enterainment system even if the radio is off up front and I think that is what is happening. My wife has an Acadia with a stock rear dvd and it will still play while the radio is off.

Scotty, I have tried every permuation to get it to stop. If I am in the truck and driving along and I power down the mygig unit, the dvd still advances.

Hmmm......that's crazy. I wonder if mine is doing the same thing? It probably is.

What I usually do is press stop on the dvd, but as soon as I start the truck back up, it starts playing automatically.

That aint worth a ****.

I ran through a troubleshooting routine recommended by lockpick. It turns out that the unit stays active for 45 seconds after I exit the vehcile and hit the lock button and becomes active as soon as you hit the unlock button. This is why the DVD's are advancing. I am not sure at this point if it is the Lockpick, the mygig or a combination there of. I am going to remove the lockpick altogether and send it back for a swap and to see how it reacts after it is removed. This is an annoying issue.

Let me know. I don't feel like messing with it anymore so I'm just gonna leave it.

I don't mind it advancing 45 seconds when I turn the truck off, I just don't like how it automatically starts playing when I start my truck and it's in radio mode.

what about the audio cutting out when playing a DVD? Was that ever addressed by the lockpick people?
