Thanks seabyrd. I checked it out and I see that they're still $249. It would be nice to have for our upcoming road trip to Minnesota, but it looks like I'm going to have to divert those funds into gas money now! Gas just shot up to $3.05 a gallon and is expected to go higher here because a nearby refinery was flooded out with all our recent heavy rains here in Oklahoma. We have a Z71 Tahoe, and like yourself, we love the ride and it's a great traveling vehicle.

What kind of issues are you having? We have the GM GEN2 LOCKPICK.. from coastaletech the new GM GEN3 is supposed to be even better but I can't see how.. What issues are you experiencing?

Just pull it off.. it has several catches around the edges... be careful but pull firmly.. it scared me and I ended up mad and pulled it and it came off... get some teflon spatulas (they are thin) and slide in behind it... ease it around the edge (teflon won't scratch it) then when you have it lifted a little all around it will pop off.. If it scares you too much drive by the Chevy paint & body shop.. they'll probably pop it off for you for nothing if you don't tell them what you're doing.. just tell them you're adding something..

I pried from the outer edge.. its held on with plastic snaps half the snap is a part of the frame.. get under it carefully in several spots then use an even pressure to pull it off.. Once you get it off and see it you'll wish you had just pulled a little harder sooner... just make sure you don't pull it from just one spot.. Let me know how it comes out for you.. once you get it off you'll be finished in 20 mins. test it while driving before you put the trim back on !! Again.. good luck..

I installed a Gen II last December, ever since I have strange electrical issues, intermittently the radio will not power up, the back up sensors will not work, the radio will work but the Nav will not function, the shift indicator will just flash, or some other electrical module will not work. It took GM several months to determine that it was the Gen II. I called Costal Tech, they state they have not seen this issue before, and that they have thousands of happy customers. They are sending me a replacement unit, thinking that the unit is defective, or I screwed up the installation. I up-graded to the Gen III just for kicks. I will let you know if this solves the issues. George

I'm sorry you're having problems.. they sound strange too.. I hope the GEN2 is defective and the GEN3 solves your problems.. let me know..Good luck George... BTW in a lot of the earlier posts here people were having similar problems. They didn't have anything like lockpicks installed either. When they complained to the dealer they reprogrammed something and the problem was solved. I think it was mainly the first ones (2007s) that came out. You might want to take it out for a week or so and make sure you don't have the same problem before you install the GEN3. Next time your radio or other component won't power up. try restarting the vehicle with the driver door open. they say that made it work then.. Strange isn't it? Good Luck

GM Lockpick Gen3

I just installed mine last week and now I'm free of the "electronic nanny's" grip!!! It drove me crazy to get locked out once out of park. The GEN3 allows for a additional video input to be played on the screen, i.e a baby cam.
Removing the face plate involves a firm and steady pull at the various locations of the clips, yes it feels like you are going to snap it to pieces but it will come off.
Delivered the GEN3 was $260.
