2008 Silverado Nbs W/nav System

divrcddad2 · October 4, 2009

I have an 08 Silverado LT withOUT the BOSE system. No onstar, no BOSE, no XM receiver.

I installed the Nav, the Rostra rear view, and the Lockpick Gen 5.

I have sound problems (been told I need a 50w amp, but http://www.justanswer.com/questions/28b9v-...ado-4x4-ext-cab indicates it can be programmed to adjust for volume without the amp)

but I am more concerned that the Lockpick doesn't seem to be doing anything for me. I can't get the camera to come up in anything other than Reverse. I wired the camera power using the Common ground, and the BLUE Factory reverse camera wires coming from the Lockpick. Camera works fine in Reverse, automatically comes up and everything. But the window lock and mute buttons don't seem to bring the camera up on the screen in any other gear. I have the Video input plugged in to the GM cable interface, NOT the Video input on the Lockpick harness (going to try that tomorrow).

My Nav system doesn't seem to track correctly. It seems to be off by a short distance. It will lag as driving and then catch back up to where I am at. It has been sitting in a box for 6 months, but I can't imagine that will affect it that way. I am not sure if something needs to be reset or calibrated. That was all supposedly done before I received it. I spliced the VSS wire in at the panel by the parking brake.

So anyone with ideas about why the GPS tracking is a little off or why the Lockpick doesn't seem to be responding, please send me a note.

First time on here, first time posting.

Thanks

if you are using the loc pick at the time it will not track right you have so shut it off then it will... sounds to me you don't have it hooked up right you should have not had to splice anything. it is all plug and play behind the radio...... that is all i did and mine works fine except for it not tracking right when i have it on...

you hit the mute button on the wheel 5x to turn on then the window unlock/lock to turn it off
