Shown above is the first photo of Chrysler's newest generation MyGIG radio, model RER. The new 6.5" touch-screen model features a built-in hard drive with storage for 2000 songs, a front-mounted audio input jack and a USB data port. MyGIG premiered in 2007 models of the Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Nitro, Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger. Most other Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep vehicles were added to the list in the 2008 model year.

MyGIG is a revolutionary multimedia infotainment system that integrates radio, navigation, DVD, Bluetooth, USB and satellite radio technologies. The USB port allows uploads of music and photos to the 20 gigabyte hard drive, while the system also will copy files from CDs as they're inserted. Using the Gracenote database, MyGIG will find the artist, track and title for the music.

The auxiliary input jack permits passengers to listen to a portable MP3 player through the vehicle's speakers. MyGIG is a Sirius Satellite Radio player and also includes UConnect® —the hands-free Bluetooth cellular system. Controlling the system is easy, too. The 6.5-inch touch screen allows easy menu navigation, while the Advanced Voice Dialog System recognizes more than 1,000 words for audio, navigation, entertainment and hands-free mobile phone use.

Navigating traffic also becomes easier using MyGIG's real-time traffic information. Separate audio outputs allow passengers to listen to the car speakers while different audio tracks play through the system's wireless headphones. That means the kids can watch their DVD on the optional rear-seat entertainment system while parents listen to the radio in the front.


MyGIG models

To date, three different versions of the MyGIG radio have been released in North America, models RER (with navigation), REN (without navigation, and with or without Satellite radio) and REU (with navigation and remote display screen). Model REU is currently available only in the all-new 2009 Dodge Journey. MyGIG radios use two different Bus systems, high speed and low speed. Vehicles designed for a high-speed electrical bus will not work on a vehicle with a low-speed bus, and vice versa. See the Parts section below for more information on the different versions of the MyGIG radios.

The european versions of RER radios use the sales code REW. South Africa, Middle East "GCC", Australia, and New Zealand are model "REP".

Bluetooth compatibility

Not all Bluetooth® phones are compatible with UConnect®. For a current list with photos, go to Bluetooth compatible phones, choose the 2007 Sebring, and then choose “Getting Started.” Note that in some cases, the phone must have a certain software version or later in order to work; customers may need to have their phone provider upgrade the software in their phone (this is usually free).


Front seat video enable/disable

Due to certain state regulations, a function for disabling the front seat video option has been incorporated into the vehicle as a running change. This function will enable or disable the radios ability to play video in the front seat. If enabled, the radio will only play video when the vehicle is in Park (Automatic Transmission) or when the parking brake is set and vehicle speed is zero (Manual Transmission). If disabled, the radio will NOT play video in the front seat in any operating mode.

Certain state laws mandate that the Front Seat Video feature, on vehicles so equipped, be disengaged prior to vehicle delivery.

Vehicles equipped with the Front Seat Video ‘My GIG’ feature (sales codes RER, REN, REU), and delivered to the following states, must have the Front Seat Video feature disengaged during the New Vehicle Prep process, using the StarSCAN tool:

Connecticut
Florida
Illinois
Kansas
Michigan
New Mexico
Nevada
Oklahoma
Oregon
Pennsylvania
Tennessee
Texas
Maryland
Utah
Wyoming

For vehicles affected, the vehicle Navigation User Manual will contain a special insert providing the customer with specific details regarding this action.

NOTE: Some early release vehicles may be delivered without the special Navigation User Manual insert. For these vehicles it will be necessary to make a copy of the attached form 81-170-07055A and include it with the existing vehicle’s Navigation User Manual to ensure that the customer is aware of any legal requirements that may apply.

Dealer instructions for front seat video enable/disable:

1. Connect the StarSCAN®.
2. From the Home Screen, enter “ECU View”.
3. Select “Radio”.
4. Select “Misc. Functions”.
5. Select “Enable/Disable Front Seat Video”.
6. Select “Enable” or “Disable” as desired.
7. Select finish to exit.


Gracenote® database

The Gracenote® database will recognize 100,000 CDs, but it cannot recognize newly released CDs that came out after the database was installed. Future software updates will add to the database. The first update to the Gracenote database is due in late March 2008.


In-motion restrictions

For safety reasons, certain features such as video playback, parts of the address book, and the keyboard to enter information are locked out when the vehicle is in motion. Drivers can use the voice recognition feature, however.


Traffic Message Channel

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is provided by SIRIUS®; owners must have a valid subscription for it to work. For more information see Wikpedia's Traffic Message Channel page.

    About part numbers: Sales codes and part numbers for radios and discs can be quite confusing. A 3-letter sales code is assigned for each radio in a particular series. For each sales code, "RER" for example, superseding part numbers are assigned during the production history. Most part numbers start out with a series of numbers, such as "5064401". Revisions after that add a 2-letter suffix, as in "05064401AA" with later revisions followed by "AB", "AC" "AD" and so on. Revisions can consist of circuitry updates or changes, firmware fixes and changes, and minor cosmetic changes.

    In addition, sometimes changing a supplier for a particular part will result in an updated part number. In almost all cases the higher the last letter of the part number the newer the part. While parts with the same master part number ("5064401") are for the most part interchangeable with later revisions ("AA", "AB" etc.), there are exceptions in some cases. When upgrading to a new radio it is usually best to stay within the Master part number series that is assigned to your vehicle, as shown in the tables below.

    Bus systems MyGIG radios run on two different Bus systems, a low speed Bus (CAN B) and a high-speed Bus system (CAN C). MyGIG radios designed for a high-speed electrical bus will not work on a vehicle with a low-speed bus, and vice versa.

    Sirius Satellite Radio - All versions of the RER radios feature a built-in satellite radio tuner. The non-navigation version of the MyGIG radio (model REN) is available with or without built-in Satellite radio, as noted in the part lists below. In-vehicle entertainment has evolved with another innovative product from MOPAR. Sirius Satellite Radio will introduce a new level of depth and content to radio listening by providing up to 100 channels of digital entertainment coast to coast; 60 commercial-free channels of music and 40 channels of news, sports and entertainment. Programming varies from the Best of the 80's and Rock to Classic Jazz and Country sounds, ESPN Radio and The Weather Channel to Radio Disney and The History Channel. The system uses statistical multiplexing technology, which optimizes the fidelity on each channel, to provide superior sound resolution. The Sirius Satellite Radio System plays directly from your vehicle's radio with the installation of a special receiver and permanent mount antenna. A monthly service fee will apply.

    UConnect Hands Free Bluetooth - All versions of the MyGIG RER navigation radios feature UConnect built-in (a wiring harness is required for operation, see "Upgrading" section below). The non-navigation versions of the MyGIG radio (model REN) do not have UConnect built-in, but will interface with the factory UConnect system, if equipped. UConnect is the exclusive voice-activated, hands-free, in-vehicle communications system. It encourages safe vehicle operation and doesn't compromise driver control. UConnect allows you to dial your wireless phone through simple voice commands. In addition, UConnect mutes your radio before receiving or sending a call, allows you to store up to 32 names and four numbers per name (128 entries) in the system's phonebook, and is flexible enough for an entire family (up to five phones can be linked to the system). UConnect includes Bluetooth technology that enables your wireless phone to connect to your vehicle without wires or a docking station. This leading edge technology will allow you to store your wireless phone anywhere in the vehicle.

    The UConnect™ system is fully integrated with the vehicle’s audio system. The radio display will be used for visual prompts from the UConnect™ system such as phone battery status, signal strength, caller ID, and call type. NOTE: Your phone may not support all available UConnect™ features. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for UConnect™ system operating instructions.


    Upgrading to a MyGig radio

    Per the vehicle compatibilty list above, MyGIG radios can be added to vehicles that did not come from the factory with this radio option. When purchasing a unit, it is best to stay within the part number range for your vehicle as shown in the parts listings below. The higher the part number pre-fix ("AB", "AC", "AD" etc.), the newer the revision and production date. Some vehicles may require optional bezel kits, or, for UConnect operation in RER radios, a special adaptor harness.

    The use of a StarSCAN to retrieve and change additional radio settings may also be required. For example, if a vehicle’s backup camera does not display, the radio may not know that the vehicle has a camera. Conversely, if the radio thinks there’s a backup camera when there isn’t, the screen may display static when the vehicle is put into reverse.

    UConnect wiring kit for RER navigation radios - When you add an RER radio to a compatible vehicle, a special jumper harness is required to complete the installation for UConnect operation, even if you have the factory UConnect option to begin with. This is due to the conflict of having two UConnect modules - one in the vehicle, and another in the RER radio. In addition, if your vehicle did NOT come with factory UConnect you will still need a jumper harness AND will need to buy either the factory UConnect mirror with microphone, or the stand-alone Mopar microphone.

Tips on buying a new or used navigation unit online from eBay
or from non-authorized dealers

If you are buying a navigation unit online from a non-authorized dealer note that you will NOT have a factory warranty. It is important to buy from a trusted source with excellent references, some of which offer their own warranty. Be sure that in addition to the radio that you receive the correct navigation antenna, latest navigation disc and owner's manual. Assure that the seller will provide a non-DOA or longer guarantee, and that the unit will be carefully packaged.

The largest seller of Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep navigation radios, parts and accessories on Ebay is mr.cd1. In addition to a nice selection of navigation radios, mr.cd1 carries the latest issue navigation discs as well as a wide assortment of different adaptor cables and other navigation related parts. A warranty is offered for most items. Click Here to see mrcd1's latest list of offerings. You can also send mr.cd1 an email: mr.scsi3@comcast.net.

MyGIG Troubleshooting


  • For safety, some features (video playback, some parts of the address book, and the keyboard to enter information) are locked out when the vehicle is in motion. Drivers can use the voice recognition feature, however.

  • The voice recognition system is designed to work with the windows up, the HVAC fan on Off or Low, and the user speaking in a normal tone. It will not work as well if the windows are down, the fan is on high, or if the driver speaks in low tones. If the voice recognition system has trouble understanding a user, he/she can train it using a short procedure. See the navigation Owner’s Manual.

  • MyGIG radios designed for a high-speed electrical bus will not work on a vehicle with a low-speed bus, and vice versa. (Nothing will be damaged, but the system will not work.)

  • The use of a StarSCAN to retrieve and change additional radio settings may be required. For example, if a vehicle’s backup camera does not display, the radio may not know that the vehicle has a camera. Conversely, if the radio thinks there’s a backup camera when there isn’t, the screen may display static when the vehicle is put into reverse.

  • Emergency eject of stuck discs - Homemade CD-Rs or DVD-Rs that were poorly formatted may confuse the system, causing the disc to become jammed. On radios with software version 9.041 or later, you can force the disc to eject using a combination of keys. First make sure the display is open. Then, for an RER radio, hold the NAV button while pressing SEEK UP and SEEK DOWN at the same time. For an REN radio, hold the AUDIO button while pressing SEEK UP and SEEK DOWN at the same time. If discs frequently jam, using high quality media and better “burning” software to create the discs may solve the problem.

  • If the navigation system shows the wrong current location, use the Nav menu and make sure that the radio is receiving at least four satellites. Then drive the vehicle on main roads (which are more likely to be in the database) until the current location is correctly shown. This usually takes no more than 30 seconds, but it can require as long as 20 minutes. Once the current location is accurate, the problem should not reoccur unless the vehicle is transported while not operating (on a ferry, railroad car, transport truck, etc.). If it does reoccur, repeat the procedure.

  • Owners who plug an external device such as an MP3 player into the AUX jack should remember that both volume controls, on the radio and on the device itself, will affect the sound level.

  • If Radio presets do not seem to save on radio, please confirm that the following process is being performed:

    When listening to the selected station in AM/FM modes,

    - Press and hold the desired preset soft key on the right side of the display.
    - Keep holding the preset until the preset goes through a color change of green, then yellow.

    Once the selected preset turns yellow, the current station/frequency will be saved.

    Note: Mopar IPOD kits - Satellite radio station presets are lost when switching from the IPOD mode to satellite radio mode.


    Error messages:

  • Module Failure” message displays when trying to use satellite mode. Usually caused by an electrical short in the SDAR antenna, not the radio. This appears to be most common on Durango and Aspen. The SDAR antenna cable is usually the source of the problem. Check behind Driver's A-Pillar trim for possible pinched antenna cable and or loose and or bent pin at the back of the radio. "Module failure" message does not indicate the need to replace the radio.

  • "Navigation is being activated" message may appear momentarily when the radio is first turned on and in the navigation mode. This is normal while GPS satellites are being located. If message does not go away after driving on main roads for a few minutes, push the Menu button on the radio and select "System Set Up", and then "System Info". Check for "Tag Not Found" or "Not applicable" messages described below.

  • "Tag Not Found" - Displayed on navigation information page. Critical error, radio must be replaced due to internal HDD failure.

  • "Not applicaple/NA msg" - Displayed in Gracenote area. Critical error, radio must be replaced (non-navigation REN models).

  • "EMERGENCY UPDATE/ERROR(256): failed to flash update ifs" - Error when updating software. Disconnect battery negative terminal (or radio power) for one hour or longer. Restore power, disc should read properly and complete update.




MyGIG current known issues


  • When travelling on non-GPS authenticated roads, the RER radio Navigation distance to the next turn is actually the straight line distance to the next proximate GPS-authenticated road. This issue was corrected with software release 9.713, April 2008.

  • Occasionally upon ignition key on the RER Radio the DVD control is locked up and disc cannot be played. This issue was corrected with software release 9.713, April 2008.

  • RER Radio automatically previews navigation route when selecting navigation mode and entering a route. This issue was corrected with software release 9.713, April 2008.

  • Pairing issues with phones such as the Motorola V3m. New drivers to correct this issue became available with software release 9.713, April 2008.

  • Hard Start/No Start Due to Weak Battery - This may be caused by the radio not powering down properly and keeping the communication buss awake causing a parasitic battery draw. Applies to 2008 vehicles equipped with a MYGIG radio (sales code REN, REP, RER, REW or REZ) built before February 8, 2008. See TSB 08-003-08.
