If you need an update for your mygig, or your hdd is corrupt, or you can't pair an iPhone with your mygig....

THERE ARE MANY POSTS TO THIS THREAD.

POST #3 contains SOFTWARE related information.

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 part: MOPAR 82210466AB - MOPAR® SIRIUS Satellite Radio Installation Kit for 07-10 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec
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.

Link to PDF: http://starparts.chrysler.com/info/default/k6860648.pdf

LOCKPICK2 MOD FOR MYGIG RER & REN & REN+RSC:
This part is required to unlock all blocked features of your MyGIG.
If you purchase and install this part ($199.00 on ebay) you will gain:
DVD Playback While In Motion
Navigation Address Input While In Motion (RER)
Enable Backup Camera Input For Aftermarket Installations
Enable VES (Rear Entertainment Mode)
Video And Audio Input For iPod, iPhone, Computers, Or Video Games
Programmable DIP Switches Enable Or Turn Off Specific Functions
Works With All MyGIG Radios

Link to manufacturer website: http://www.coastaletech.com/MYGIG.htm

Link to a seller on ebay that I can recommend from personal experience. This is based on price and extremely fast and reliable support:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/222438882042?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

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.
Link to PDF: see RER pdf

In 2010 the REN was replaced with RBZ.

iPod/iPhone INTEGRATION FOR RES,REQ,REN

The next two iPhone/Ipod cables are confusing. There are two options in the first listing. And the second listing is for the older part. Listed here as a resource.

Just bought a 2013 JKR and it came with the RES I believe with the external uconnect module. Somehow the uconnect is in Spanish! How can I do a reset on the module? Does the battery just need to be disco'd? Thanks yall!

11 pages and I'm still looking for a "real" GPS that does "real" GPS stuff, for my Jeep. I have a MyGig in my 4 door but nothing yet in my 2 door. Not impressed with MyGig. But the only thing worse is using a cell phone app. ;) But I guess that's for another thread.

Not sure this is the right thread, but I'll give it a shot. I have a 2006 WK, I recently put in a low speed rhr with the lock pick. It worked but it would cut out the audio and only the p/s would work and I could not adjust the volume. If I restarted the jeep after a few minutes it would go back to normal.

So I exchanged the radio and the lock pick as well as the harness that came with it. Now, it will sometimes cut out and come out of the p/s only. I am amble to adjust the volume.

Not sure what I need to do to track down what is causing this. Any ideas?

Seems I have got it fixed. I replaced my ignition switch for another issue and it hasn't done anything since.

It would seem so, there is a recall on the ignition switches that they don't have parts for. But apparently there is a fault in the power to them/through them that might have been causing this. It would also screw with the warning lights and other things. Quick fix, that seems to have fixed my radio issues as well.

press and release the Uconnect phone button and say "English", then Uconnect will ask if you want to select English.

I have searched as best I could without finding an answer so hopefully someone here can help me out. I just purchased a MyGig REN from a seller on ebay with the description that it was a high speed unit. After install, it only half the time will flash the Jeep logo at start up and almost immediately starts playing audio from SiriusXM radio. The screen is completely black (off?) and none of the buttons are functional. I took my ride to the local dealer and they said that only a RER unit will work in my Jeep. They told me that they were getting a message that said "lost connection" when they looked into things. From what I can tell from various websites a REN unit should compatible with my Jeep. I have attached two pictures showing the factory stickers in the hopes that someone who knows a great deal about the radios can help (the part # is P05064759AC). Did I end up getting an incorrect unit? I have a '07 Sahara two door with the infinity sound system/sub and SiriusXM antenna and no steering wheel controls. It came with the RES unit originally.

Hey guys and gals! I've recently started experiencing issues with the 430N in my 2014 JKUR. When you're using the navigation, the system will sporadically either crash to a black "Guidance by Garmin" splash screen, and will stay there for some amount of time before the maps come back OR it will randomly go to a "Test Mode" screen. Also, the USB port in the arm rest no longer receives power when starting the Jeep. It will randomly get power throughout the course of a trip (anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes after starting the vehicle), rendering me unable to connect my phone for charging or media streaming. Has anyone else experienced issues similar to this? I've looked around the forum, but haven't been able to find any posts regarding this issue. Thanks in advance for the responses!

I have read about others having similar issues and it ended up being a HW issue and the radio(s) were replaced under warranty.

Ok, I accidentally disabled the touch portions of the radio through the engineering portal. So, how to get back to the engineering portal to re enable the touch part of the radio. I tried pulling the IOD fuse to reset the radio, and it did reset the time and such, but it didn't reset the screen back so i could even go through the calibration, which I have done before.

Can anyone help, as to what my next step is?

So, I hope someone has the answer to a disabling the touch portions of the menu. While calibrating and in the engineering mode, I accidently disabled it, thinking I could just re enable it. Well, touch won't respond at all. I made a few calls to Chrysler, who had no idea. I finally got through to the company that originally used to service them solely for Chrysler (they don't anymore). and they told me I would have to replace the whole touch screen with a new, which they said would reset it, but that's $250, which isn't worth it versus just replacing (is what Chrysler wants me to do). I tried disconnecting the fuse to the radio, but all that did was reset the presets, time, preferences, etc. I read where you can downgrade the firmware, which automatically brings up the calibration menu, but no one including Chyrsler has the 9.1 version firmware. So..I am hoping someone has a work around, and if not, at least the info I have found so far is out there for someone to read. BTW, i have a 430 REN non Navigation radio.

You can add the microphone and turn on the Bluetooth. No A2DP however. Because of the HDD, I am not going to get the iPod cable. Not sure if it will work with the 30 pin to lightning adapter.

Just ordered my 2015 Rubicon Hard Rock without the Nav. Figured I would go aftermarket and got to playing with my buddies 430N with garmin and loved it. Went to add it to my order and too late, because it is a sold order they already put it in d status. If I order a late model 430N online is it plug and play?

I have sat radio, and connectivity/uconnect optioned out on the jeep. From what im reading I shouldnt have to add anything for the gps to work and all the voice command stuff should work as intended right?

Yes, this would be a PnP installation. The only small issue is to try to make sure you get the security code for the radio. If not, then you'll need to take the vehicle and a bill of sale to the dealership. They'll be able to place a call to get the security code and at the same time, they'll enter your VIN# into the computer system as the new owner of that radio.

can you explain this a bit better? I'm not really getting it.

1) What year and model vehicle do you have?
2) What year and model vehicle did the radio come out of?
3) What do mean by "unbootable"?
