okay great, im used to doing interior modification stuff, from my own car that i wont reveal because i would probably get run out of town, and i wont have a problem with the trim stuff.

is it just a matter of plugging in the wiring harness and mounting the antennae? I also have the facory sirius, does that connect back into the mygig?

thats what i like to hear, we are really leaning towards the mygig, how does the stored music play? is it just a long list of stuff or can you break it down into folders?

Podedwards · 07-03-2007, 09:44 PM

By album, artist, song, year and/or track

As you install it from a CD it breaks it into a playlist. Usually whatever the CD is titled just like you would view the names on your computer.

Because I am cheap at times, I borrow CD's from my friends for about 15 minutes and upload them on the MYGIG and give it back, they say I thought you wanted to use it,,,hehehehe I did, I copied it onto my stereo already

You can edit the names of the playlists and songs if you like and delete individual songs as well, I found it quicker and easier to copy the entire CD and delete the songs I dont like if there are alot of good songs on the CD

nice! thats what i like to to hear! can you shuffle all the songs you have on there?

Hey folks, just wanted to add my bit on Mygig. we totally love it. I didn't want it at first, but it was in the jeep that had the other options we wanted... bonus for us!

the Nav is far superior to my former 2004 Cadillac SRX Nav system, that thing was aweful. love the road under construction notices, very accurate right to the door!

They did a really nice job with this product. the USB and jack on the front are very welcome additions to any stock system.

OK... I've just got my 2007 Sahara with the MyGig and I must say, so far I am not that impressed. My GPS Nav is off A LOT! I was driving to the boat ramp on Sunday crossing the bridge and it showed that I was driving 1/8 of a mile off the bridge and driving through the water, which I wasn't...

And then today, I'm driving down I-95 South and I look and the NAV and it shows that I am driving West and then turning East then making circles all while continuing to drive straight and south. I then turned it off and back on, with no change. It finally got back on track almost 45 minutes later after the screen flashed to solid blue and then it was back on track.
I also don't like that when I save a location that it doesn't allow me to give it a title or specific location. And why when on Sirius can't you save a favorite song playing like on XM?
I know that I am still leaning it but I am very familar with Garmin GPS's and I find this one very basic and challenging. I haven't given up on it yet, but I am not sure I would spend the $1500 on it again.... OK I've thought about it and no I wouldn't spend the money on it again...

Sounds like you've got a fishy unit. I'd wait awhile longer and if it still doesn't know where you are going I'd go back to the dealer. I've had very good luck with mine, it's much better than the portable GPS unit I've got. I do wish it would let me browse the POI's while I'm moving but I understand that's a safety thing. The satelite radio is very nice as well but it does lose the signal quite a bit.

Maybe I'm mis-discribing it. My XM allows me to save a favorite song that I hear on to a list that when ever it's playing on any XM channel it will tell me and I can change to that station. That's really what I mean and miss.

My MyGig is totally not working correctly. Last night again while driving straight, the cursor just took off and ran a big 100 mile loop around and near Orlando all while I was still traveling straight. I took it to the dealer today and they are bringing in the local Jeep rep to look into the problem. I'll update this thread once I know more.

iambeekay · 07-11-2007, 09:50 PM

there are a few folks on this post that mention the same issue ,it was either a reset or a replacement. My unit works perfectly, so far, always right on the road, and all that stuff.

Sirius: I know what you are saying with the favorite song feature. sirius does it, but so far, I have not found out how to do it on 'this' unit. When I had a portable player, I could simply do that with a push of a button.

for the Myiggers who have problems with the GPS - i think that is definitely a glitch. you should not have to sit with the jeep on waiting for it to acquire your location. i just get in an go in mine and it works perfectly. also, i havent run in to any missing roads but that may just be my area. im interested to see if Ben gets his unit fixed. i hope you get everything worked out because i think it is a great unit overal. i still cant figure out how to pause a song when its playing on the HD though ha. any suggestions?

DieselJK · 07-12-2007, 09:57 PM

What I do is just turn the unit off. It picks up right where it left off when you turn it back on. Of course this strategy is slightly flawed if you are using the GPS when you want to pause. Don't have an answer for that one yet.
