On another note...anyone tried to go the website in the Mygig manual for updates? It doesn't work. I sent a message to DC but haven't heard a reply yet

www.chrysler.com/mygig/ is what's in the manual

Thanks to JKBOARD

i have had a mygig for several weeks and really like it. there are several things i do not like

1) when playing a song of the HD there doesnt seem to be any way to pause it, instead you have to turn of the entire mygig.

2) every time i start a new nav route i have to go into "nav settings" and turn off the audio prompts.

3) like people were saying above, it is pretty unprotected. i have had the top off for several days and have basically just been putting a trash bag over it when i leave. it wont be long till thieves figure out how to get past this complicvated security device.

finally- for those of you dying for unconnect: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jeep-...spagenameZWDVW

It looks like this device on EBay is just a noise cancelling mike and an Amp. If this works, why so expensive - and why isn't it available anywhere else?

It looks like it actually integrates with myGIG and adds the missing features of U-Connect - though I don't see (from the pictures) whether or not it actually adds voice recognition or the address book ... I just posted a question to the seller on it ...

Thank you - I had the same questions. Can you please post when you get the response? I am very anxious to get those features activated.

Thanks!!!

Got my answer from the seller:

Item: Jeep Wrangler Bluetooth and voice recognition for MyGIG (160111300623)
This message was sent while the listing was active.
nav-tv is the seller.

Hi Will !
I have a 2007 JK myself
Yes, All features work - Voice recognition, Bluetooth, Address
book. Check www (dot) nav-tv.com/download/chrysler/
BlueGIG.pdf for the installation instructions. You'll find that all
teh features in your MyGIG owners manual work as intended !
Moni 561-400-4444

So I went ahead and bought one! I called the number posted on the auction to see about a dealer referral, because I'm not really interested in LEARNING to solder on my new Jeep - turns out they have a dealer in La Jolla (about 15miles from me) - so within a couple weeks, I should have this thing installed, and can render an opinion! I'm running my Jeep with a Freedom Top - so I expect it to work when the top is up and MAYBE it might be acceptable with the "sunroof" portion out - I don't imagine it would be worth much with the top completely off whist flying along at 70 ...

I just talked to a service rep at the jeep dealer, he says that to enable video while driving you would "cut" a pink wire that runs to the unit but he did not give anymore details.
Has anyone tried this succesfully?

Rainuck · 05-09-2007, 12:29 PM

A few minor things...first, let me apologize because I haven't really had time to go over the manual.

1) is there no way to delete individual songs from the HDD...mine seems to only give the option to delete ALL music...odd.

2) Has anyone experienced song disappearing from the hdd. I ripped one cd in and a song was there for a couple of days and then vanished...I lost the first three tracks from that CD.

3) Updates: the website listed in the manual for updates to the MyGig doesn't work...I e-mailed DC but got no reply...has ayone found OS or gracenote updates available...gracenote fails to recognize many new cd's and I haven't seen where you can input track info.

Again, apologies if all this is in the manual...I'm being lazy posting here as I haven't found time to read it yet.

Thanks

Jason

I had a "spontaneous reboot" of my mygig yesterday...it was odd just like it shut off mid song for a second and then restarted the whole unit

Didn't last long at all and been working fine since

amr42 · 05-17-2007, 08:55 PM

Hey - anyone noticed the 'Show turn arrows in media/radio' setting in the Nav menu. if so, can anyone see these turn arrows? I have tried this set to on and off but cannot see turn arrows in the media/radio view. Anyone able to shed light on this?

spolebitski · 05-21-2007, 09:25 PM

Went to the dealership today to have my jeep serviced, went into the show room to look a bit. A salesman came over as soon as he saw me and was all about helping me. So I thought I would take a shot in the dark and ask if they had any Mygig's available (so i could see if i wanted to put down the money to buy one for the JK), salesmen was Mygig what's that, never heard of it, are you sure it's mopar / DCX radio, we have one of the best nav systems (old model Grand Cher). I felt like yelling at him and telling him to get to know his product line up (and features) but just went back to the waiting room.

JK-RUBIJON · 05-23-2007, 07:46 PM

does anyone know if you can wire a back up cam to display the image in the mygig screen, that way to keep it clean and not have two different screens

I purchased a BlueGig module from http://nav-tv.com/index02.htm

I finally got around to installing it this weekend.. it went fairly smoothly other than one minor scratch that I have no idea how it got there.

Anyways.. see the pics below to see the install.

Remove the top cover (note the satellite GPS module and the Sirius antenna are right there under the cover)

Remove the lower cover (note the clips at the top just pull out and then up on the cover)

Pull the radio and HVAC surround out after removing the 4 screws (two at the top and two at the bottom)

Remove the four screws securing the radio in place, then pull straight out and unplug the CAN wiring from the rear.. I did notice that there is an extra plug in the back of the radio that is not used. (I wonder what can be plugged in there.. I would suspect the rear DVD entertainment system goes in there.)

Plug all the associated wiring into each other that is supplied with the BlueGig and I found this nice little spot under the radio to place it. route the microphone wiring through the same hole the satellite GPS and Sirius antenna go through.

When reinstalling the radio/HVAC make sure you have all of your gold clips.. I lost 3 inside the trim and had to remove the side trim pieces to get them out..
