Since it looks like a lot of us are buying this, perhaps they would offer the forum a group buy????

hi email Chris techsupport@costartech.com and ask him maybe?

awesome write up. i did talk to tracy on the bluestar today and literally, it sounded like he was on his home phone. superior quality and very clear with no echo. i sent a email to chris to see if he can do a group forum buy. i will keep you posted as soon as he emails me back.

Got an email from Chris. We can get a group buy with a discount of $29.00 each for a commitment of 10 people. It's up to all of you !

thanks for the reply, i actually found a kit that will allow me to play dvd's on my 06 screen, but i think i have to use an external dvd player...i think i can use the one in the console to play on all three screens. so far the only way to unlock the nav while in motion feature is to do the toggle switch on the vss wire like i read in another post.

hi cyclone53, if you use the switch to turn the vss off the gps will not be tracking at that time i don't think. What is the kit you found to play the dvd on screen for your 06?

[cyclone53]

its the universal kit listed on this website. the video show my exact model radio...

but i think i still have to use a external source for the dvd player, unless i can get the console dvd to work. i read about people using the switch method and they say they just flip the switch to input the address and then switch it back to resume normal operation.

Hi cyclone53, i think your right you need a external DVD player for your 2006 truck. With my GMX322 its not gps tracking if i am watching a dvd on the front screen with the lock pick turned ON. If i am just watching the rear screen with the lock pick truned OFF as it comes from hummer then the gps is tracking. Below is from lock pick. I am not 100% sure in your truck but its likely the same. So you would have to turn OFF the front dvd screen to go back to gps tracking. Hope this helps



**During the time that you are actively viewing a factory DVD or factory AUX video while in
motion, OR while you are inputting an address or taking advantage of the other radio unblocking
technology, active map tracking is not occurring (if you switch to the map view immediately from
an unblocked function, the map will not be moving or pinpointing your exact location). Press the
MUTE button two (2) times as mentioned above to immediately restore factory operation and
begin map tracking again. It may take several seconds for the map to recalculate your current
position.
**Use of the factory camera, aftermarket cameras or either of the 2 Video/Audio inputs available
on the GMX-322 while in motion does not affect active map tracking while on.
