Default Coastaletech GMX550 Vs NAV-TV Barracuda

Hi Guys.

Anyone owned a Coastaltech GMX550 or NAV-TV Barracuda for longer than a few months without issues? Or anyone review these products first hand that can point out if either is A) worth the money, and B)better than the other due to specific features or shortcomings... To me (if it works right) the GMX550 seems like the best due to IPOD features, but if someone's already shelled out the money and installed, then had it for a while, I'd be willing to know their experience.

GMX550

All these views and no opinions? Maybe just sharing anything about what the products do/don't do can help others like myself decide which to get.

May be that noone has heard of NAV-TV Barracuda. I know it's the first time I've heard of it. Try searching the forum for CoastalTech as there has been some discussion of them in the past.

yup try Google for other info or call the companies. I am sure either one would be fine, just depends on what you want to do.
I only want to unlock the DVD and NAVI functions so the 6th gen lockpick for $240 is all I would get at this point

gen 6 lockpick does all of that for $240, pretty easy decision if you ask me - none of us have heard of the other one you are talking about so you are on your own there
