I have used NavTV in my Dodges in the past. They do not have a application for the Sync. I had a Lockpic on my wife's Yukon and it worked intermitently. I watched the video on Coastal's website to get to the back of the radio and all I can say is reserve an afternoon. Holy cow is all I can say.

Geting the dash apart is easy, 30 minutes. keeping it working is not.

I got one for Christmas and returned it after watching the install video. I'm not keen on taking my entire interior apart for the few features that it adds...

I had a lockpic in my 2011. It is an easy install if you know how to get the dash apart. The new 2012's are a bit more tricky as they changed how the radio comes out.

My worked all the time. Could access the rear view and had an selection for an AUX camera. As well as outputs for rear DVDs.

One of the first mods I did to my truck was adding the lockpick and cameras for the front and rear. I just checked the lockpick instructions. "The Lockpick can also control a second camera if desired. If your vehicle already has a factory rear camera, this option will not appear."
Something in the factory settings prevents the addition of a second camera if the truck came with one.

Very easy to do. Most important part: disconnect the battery. Less than 2 hours of work including running wires from the front and rear of my truck.
