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 purchase: MOPAR 82211860AB - MOPAR® MyGiG® Multimedia System with GPS Navigation for 2008 Jeep® Wrangler, Wrangler Unlimited JK & Liberty KK - Quadratec or check classifieds.
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.

Be sure order the part for JEEP, seller name " kimber1072 " is located in NYC.
When I get good service, I spread the word.

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.

Hello!

Ive read trough the thread, but could not find any information about it.

I know that the mygig lockpick from coastal tech is not intended for export vehicles.

BUT are there anyone here from around europe that have tested it? i dont know why it should not work, proberly the ntsc/pal video format? or are there any other ways of getting it?

iam mostly interested in the 4 camera options with the automatic reverse camera when the reverse gear is activated.

Cheers

and sorry for the grammar mistakes, did write this in a hurry.
