After combing through the threads here and talking to "Secret Agent Man" I discovered that it was the lockpick that was causing all my problems. I went with the NAV-TV ALLGIG-USB-HS like he recommended and all my issues were fixed and it even comes with a usb cable for future updates which the lockpick does not offer(which i ran into my glove box). Lockpick people are super nice if they think that they are going to get a sale out of you, after sale support - forget about it! I bought my lockpick on ebay and i sold it on ebay for a small loss. I would do the same if I were you.
They are at v3 and have the usb update and more that the navtogo. I own it already just waiting on my cheapo cameras.

I installed the lockpick v3 myself in my 09 about 4 days ago and I'm really happy with it. I installed a rear camera and a front one, worked as advertised. No audio cutouts so far. I did notice my sat function says control module not found but I never use the sat radio much and my subscription is up in a couple of months. I'm gonna haveto take out the radio and see if it accidentally got disconnected.

A majority of people would deem the loss of sat. radio to be a big deal... Keep the thread posted on the details when you find the root cause if you could. Thanks in advance and good luck.

Slowly but surely you are helping validate the experience I had with the lockpick people... Complete and utter incompetence.

Well I guess we are all driving pieces of **** cuz there are people in here that have had poor experiences with their vehicles. So all the trucks are ****. I have had good service from Coastal and I didn't even buy it there. They always answer my emails. I am just worried that after a month even if I sold something I wouldn't warranty it, especially electronics. They are aware I have not installed it yet. They have improved their product , I have been following it since I got my truck listening to the problems but since V3 the problems seemed to have slowed immensely. I bet the guy just unhooked his antenna, but if that was a problem I would not use the product and it would go in the trash if they would not warranty it. Like I said I didn't buy at Coastal.

Do you work for CoastalTec? You're awfully defensive of them...

72combo, i dont want to come up rude or nothing, but i suggest just install it, it will work, and just maybe you will be one of the few customers that are really happy with it, like i said, i am one of those...

Ya I got my cameras today not impressed with the cheap wiring that comes with it, surely not wiring that is automotive. So I will have to get some good wiring and some loom. I have the wire for the tailgate lock going thru a loom I think I could get these two wire thru but I am not impressed with the wires so I need an rca cable oil proof or whatever for underneath. Will check out local electronics shop.
