Do I need to unfreeze my CR's before using Cap One Auto Navigator or any other pre-app site?

I am thinking about utilizing either Cap One Auto Navigator to see my options before heading out to my GMC dealership this time around.  All 3 of my reports I have a freeze on.  I wonder if these need to be lifting prior?  I am kind of excited for this time around than in 2020 when I drove off with my 2020 GMC Terrain Lease.  Due to previous credit I was approved but left having a $599 monthly lease.  Flash forward to now and my enhanced fico auto scores are all over 700 with all three having a middle score of 709 so I am thinking whatever I decide on my auto payment should be lower.  Any other thoughts or ideas are appreciated, thanks!  For a quick comparison, back in March 2020 my scores were below 600.

Yup, you need to unfreeze them, or you'll get an error message.

awesome, thank you so much @Gmood1 .  Would this also apply to asking my current CC for CLI?  I think this may have been why my apple CC was denied a CLI recently.  Thank you again!!!

Not sure about the Capital One CC. But yes, some lenders do soft pull for CLI. I've been denied CLIs because my reports were frozen.
