What is MYGIG? Click here for an explanation and video demo!!!http://www.chrysler.com/en/owners/mygig/

RADIO CODES

Bottom right corner of the radio, you will see a 3 letter Radio Code:
RES - Single disk, CD, MP3/WMA. Media Center 130. Standard base radio.
REQ - Six disk, CD, DVD, MP3/WMA. Media Center 230 option.
REN - MyGig, non navigation model. Media Center 430 option. 1st Gen.
RBZ - as above, but the new model starting in 2010. 2nd Gen.
RER - MyGig, navigation model. Media Center 730 option.
All radios: +RSC means Sirius satellite integrated.

PRELUDE: MYGIG for Jeep Wrangler JK.
HIGH SPEED vs. LOW SPEED
MYGIG units are available in both HIGH SPEED BUS and LOW SPEED BUS.
The Wrangler JK requires a HIGH SPEED BUS model.
LOW SPEED is for Grand Cherokee and Commander, among others.
HIGH SPEED is for Wrangler (all years) & Liberty.
If you purchase a HIGH SPEED MYGIG REN or RER for your Wrangler, 99% of the time, it will work "plug and play" without any dealer involvement.

Anyone can remove their old stereo and install a REN or RER in a matter of 30 minutes with common tools and little or no experience. If you do have experience, expect this to only take 15-20 minutes.

MOPAR® SIRIUS SATELLITE ANTENNA FOR RER,REN,RES,REQ,RBZ
Antenna for Radio that has integrated satellite radio receiver such as RES, REQ +RSC. Or RER, REN.
If your current stereo has a SAT button on it, you already have this part installed.
It is the yellow plug.
Manufacturer Part No: 82210466AB
This is plugged into the back of your stereo. The antenna is placed on the P-side roll bar.

Link to PDF: http://site.justforjeeps.com/guide/82210466AB.pdf
for 2011 JK, the GPS and SAT antenna was combined.
more research needs to be done.

MOPAR RER MYGIG NORTH AMERICA
Integrated Satellite. Integrated Bluetooth UConnect module, just add mic $37.50, plug and play!
2007 to early 2008 = 20gb hdd.
Early-Mid 2008+ = 30gb hdd.
2007-2008 = You can only use the AUX input for iPod/iPhone. Control via device.
2009+ = iPod/iPhone integration cable is available, see below.
ALL RER = Single CD/DVD. WMA/MP3. Sirius, requires antenna (you may have it if your radio has a SAT button). Navigation, requires GPS antenna. Uconnect module is built in, requires a mic kit $.

Link to PDF for installation: http://www.quadratec.com/Assets/Installation/103140.pdf

In 2011 the RER was changed to GARMIN.

UCONNECT MIC KIT FOR RER
Stand Alone Microphone Kit for customers with RER. $ Cheap!
The UConnect module is already built into the RER. This is one reason the system is pricey.
You just need this mic kit. Not the module/mic kit.
This will enable hands-free calling & voice control to for RER Uconnect GPS radios.
Link to purchase: Jeep Wrangler Uconnect Microphone Kit
Link to PDF: http://www.mopar-accessories.com/en-US/imagehandler.ashx?id=14078
Roughly $37 from Justforjeeps.com or leeparts.com, you plug it into the back of the mygig.
The wire comes up right next to the top panel cover, and the mic sticks via 3M to any location
in that area. It's very stealth and looks great, works great, trust me!

GPS ANTENNA FOR RER
Manufacturer Part No: 5064350AA
This antenna is a must have for navigation features to function. Without this antenna, your Navigation feature will not function AT ALL. I've tested it.
This is plugged into the back of the RER Navigation system. The harness is blue. The wire is very short. There is a mounting dock already in your JK 2007-2010. The location is directly on top of your stereo, under the radio cover. It's to the left of your compass (if applicable). Installation takes minutes and there is no need for instructions. Most kits will come with wire ties or 3m tape to secure the antenna.
Link to purchase: RER GPS Antenna ('07-'09 Wrangler) edit, 2007-2010.

This ^ antenna above can be purchased for any MYGIG RER 2007-2010.
The antenna will mount like OEM in any 2007-2010. NOT 2011.
This antenna can also be used with a MYGIG RER 2007-2010 in a 2011, however:
You will plug the antenna into the back of the radio, and mount the antenna in same
area that it would in a 07-10 JK, but there will not be an OEM mount waiting for the antenna.
You must fasten the antenna with wire ties, velcro, or 3M to any area above the radio (similarly)
to a 07-10 installation, but you will have to make it work yourself.
The reason for this is simple. The 2011 JK MYGIG RER = Garmin.
They use the same antenna for both SAT and GPS.

iPod/iPhone INTERFACE CABLE FOR 2009+ RER ONLY
Manufacturer Part No: 82211853
IMPORTANT NOTES: Discontinued by Mopar -
SOME PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED ISSUES WITH THE LATEST VERSIONS OF THE IPOD INCLUDING IPOD TOUCH AND IPHONE. APPLE IS WORKING ON A FIRMWARE UPDATE. PLEASE CHECK ITUNES REGULARLY.
I HAVE DONE SOME TESTING PERSONALLY AND EXPERIENCE MANY-MANY DIFFICULITIES WITH THIS CABLE AND A 2009 SYSTEM. NOT JUST CONNECTIVITY ISSUES, OTHER ISSUES AS WELL.

iPod integration means you can navigate your iPod through your radio controls, RER only. With this simple "plug and play" hook up, your iPod/iPhone stays securely attached, out of view and continually charging. There is enough cable to reach the glove box and then some. But not enough to reach the center console.
IMPORTANT NOTES: If you have a 2009-2010 Jeep Wrangler with factory RER, this cable is for you. If you add an RER to your Wrangler, it must be a 2009+ model RER unit for this cable to work. This will NOT work with a 2007-2008 model RER. I have tested this, do not try it.

MOPAR REN MYGIG
Similar to RER except: NO NAVIGATION. NO INTEGRATED BLUETOOTH UCONNECT.
2007-2008 RER = 20GB HDD.
2009 = 30GB HDD.
REN + RSC = SIRIUS MODEL.
REN without RSC = NO SIRIUS (antenna required).
ALL REN = Single CD/DVD. WMA/MP3. HDD. NO Navigation.
Again, REN doesn't have the uconnect module. You need the module/mic kit $$.
Link to purchase 20gb REN + RSC: REN AM/FM/Satellite MP3 Player with 20 GB HD - Jeep Grand Cherokee, Commander, & Liberty - Item # 5064242AK, 5064243AL, 5064244AK & 5064245AL
Again, try to find a 2009 model = 30gb hdd.

In 2010 the REN was replaced with RBZ.

I'm getting closer....LOL....

TSB MyGIG RBZ / RB2
There's a TSB for the MyGIG RBZ/RB2. It concerns vehicles built between 05/01/2011 and 01/10/2012 and equipped with MyGIG RBZ/RB2. The MyGIG can wake up after the vehicle was shut down and drain the battery.

==> http://www.wk2jeeps.com/tsb/tsb_wk2_0802512.pdf

The problem will be solved by a software update. Even if your vehicle is pre-may-2011 built you can update the software of your RBZ/RB2. My RB2, for instance, had the application 08.03.02 and now the newest 10.00.11.

Since the site http://mofv.com/mygig/ does not support the RBZ/RB2 you can pm me. There's a German Chrysler Forum that provides that update. I can lead you.

The file size is about 17 MB only and it takes about 10 minutes.

UN4GTBL made a thread about how to update a MyGIG: http://www.caliberforums.com/forums/...ad.php?t=20106

If you are unexperienced with updating a MyGIG I recommend you to visit your Dodge dealer.
 
#114 ·
Ok....I have gone thru all of his posted and the one above, him saying his is updated to newest 10.00xxxx is the Last Update. The Update above , did it list your System as needing the 10......... and the last one with the 30.......your system doesn't seem to need that one..As I am seeing, they are not using correct terms , as All America is getting that way, theses seem to be a Firmware fix, not a Software Update, as in having new stuff....They are fixing Battery Drain Problems etc......I wish people wouldn't get so lazy with our words...Example, A Frig that has freezer on the bottom and two doors on top ...what does the Manufacture call it? A French door Frig.....WHAT!!! french door does not mean 2 doors... A French door is a Door with Glass panes sectioned in either 9, 12 or 15...Then it is called a 9 Lite french door, and if there is 2 of those together, they are called a Set of French doors.....UGH....LOL....I'm a Builder and hear everything....

I have combed through this site, thread, and other forums with no luck in getting my splash screen to update. I have an 07 jk that I installed an rbz into. My splash screen is blank with a uconnect logo, and the radio has been installed for three weeks. Is there a fuse to pull to reset the canbus? I have pulled the fuse for the radio and unhooked the battery overnight with no luck in getting the jeep logo. Any ideas or will the dealer have to associate the vin win this unit?
 
#117 ·
You will Prob have to have someone Program it, not sure Jeep will do that...The RBZ were never used in Wranglers so it prob doesn't know to change it, or gone thru it's max three Logo changes, Chrysler , Dodge, Jeep...Did you go into Engineer Menu and do a System Reset...you will Lose stuff

Hoping a mod has time this week, to clean up a page or two of communication here, the last few pages can use some raking.

Thx for you time and energy.
:2thumbsup:

When I see a thread that is years old, I generally jump to the end and work backward looking for a recent place to start. This thread was trashed with all the extra whining.
 
#126 ·
Thank you very much for all the info! I just purchased a 09 JKUR and was having issue's with the my gig. I had no idea how to run it and no manual came with the Jeep. This thread has told me everything I was trying to figure out. Way more helpful than the dealer. Thank You Sir!:highfive:

Hi - I just bought a 2010 Chrysler Town and Country and it has a Uconnect 430 RBZ radio in it. I'm a little confused honestly. I have been reading for two days and I can't figure out if this is the same as the MyGIG 430? Anyway, I'm hoping there is an update that applies to my radio and from what I can tell most of the updates mentioned in this forum are for the newer RBZ radios or the 430n???

Here is my info from the setup screen:

Application: 08.03.02
Audio CPU: 021210
Sirius FW: 08.00.17.5E
Gracenote: 4BB

System: 0101

Can someone point me in the right direction of any updates available for my system?

Thanks in advance! :)
 
#128 ·
Well I was able to get the radio updated to 8.5, then I tried to update to 10.00.11 - the application updated but froze at updating the Audio CPU. I eventually just power cycled and now my system Info shows the Application at 10.00.11 but the Audio CPU is still the older version.

Is there a more recent update that I can apply to my radio?

Thanks.
 
#129 ·
I realized that after upgrading to 10.00.11 - I lost the ability to import pictures, so I downgraded to 08.05 and the pictures button works again. I'm still interested in newer updates if anyone knows of any that will work with my radio. Again, I have the Uconnect 430 RBZ non Nav (the Mitsubishi one).
 
#132 ·
That information is for the radio SW only. The Uconnect module is an external unit and has it's on SW version. As for the getting names mixed up, can you give an example? Also what phone are you using?

I have a RBZ radio on a 2013 Limited, the info is as follows:

Application: 44.00.01
Audio CPU: 100412
Gracenote: 10F5

is there an update available? I'm having problems with the uconnect recognizing voice commands, it gets names mixed up...

Thanks.
 
#133 ·
Does anyone know where I can find a list of vehicles and mygig part mums. This thread does not appear to have all info.

I am trying to find a RHR high speed mygig for an 11 Grand Cherokee. On top of that there is a side mount vs top or front mount. Does anyone have any idea what a side or top mount is all I have ever seen is front.

Thanks

Currently have REN radio w/ Sirius and Uconnect and rear-camera.

Application: 9.214
Gracenotes: 881
HW System: 6839 006 3.3

Seems to be the factory install from 2008-09 and it is really buggy with the HDD. Lots of gremlins. I know I can update GN using the RER v4602. But what is the latest SW update for the REN? Latest I can find online for REN is 9.292. But even that seems to predate the HDD corruption fix that happened with v9.713 (for RER). Do I go with the RER updates to v9.713 and then update again to v2.402? Or is 9.292 the best I can do for REN?

Any help much appreciated.
 
#135 ·
Question about replacing res with sat buttons out of 2012 into my 2011. My res doesnt have sat buttons but id like to have that option. Does my '11 jeep have the sat antenna wired in it from the factory? Is this a plug and play type install if I have the wiring already there or does my dealer need to "flash" anything.
 
#136 ·
Help! Please

Well I've read lots of threads viewed lots of charts but I still can't figure it out, so in advance sorry for the repeated question.
Plain and simple
What mygig will work in my 2011 jeep wrangler jku it currently has a res bluetooth sat uconnect unit ...so what will be plug and play to upgrade to?
Thanks
 
#141 ·
Whichever radio that you decide on, you'll need to make sure that the radio is a High Speed CAN BUS unit.
If you want a direct plug 'n' play install, then you'll need to look for:
1) The RBZ if you don't want Navigation
2) The RHB if you do want navigation

Well I've read lots of threads viewed lots of charts but I still can't figure it out, so in advance sorry for the repeated question.

Ntg4 rer p05064400ai uconnect 2013 wrangler?

hi guys!!
I just tried to install my older NTG4 RER from my 2008 Liberty into my newer 2013 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited.
The factory unit is a Uconnect 130 cd/mp3 and Unconnect Voice command with Bluetooth built into the vehicle.
I can get most everything working, radio, sat, nav but the stereo is telling that uconnect is not available?
Any ideas?

issues with 2008 Mygig RER in my commander.

Had 9.665 and updated to 9.713 then update to 9.807, it doesnt update to 2.404. it says wrong disc. the mygig is empty, no music, gracenotes says N/A, and has 17 gig of usable space

gracenotes is N/A so i try to install it, it starts the update to 4620 and complete but gracenotes still says N/A for the version

I have a new navteq map disk coming with rer 2.404 software as well. should be here sometime this week. but was hoping to get this wrapped up today.

in the past ive updated my mygig on "CAIN" (2007 wrangler with a 2009 rer just fine) also i updated my ram's mygig with no problems as well. i dont understand what my hangup is here with the commander mygig
 
#144 ·
Got with navteq and used their 2.404 update disk that came with their 2014 maps. Installed fine.

Doing maps now and will attempt latest gracenote update later.
