Just curious but does the new Nitro have the update that removes the “Agree” screen at start up? (Version 9.561)
Thanks to this Forum and ResumeSpeed for the complete list of all Nitro Technical Service Bulletins, I had my Dealer order and install the software update 8-025-07 for my unit.
Works like a charm and the Acceptance Screen now removes its self at start up, instead of having to touch the screen, each time. Since my 07 was built late in July 07 I asked the Service Technician if all 08 MYGIG radios have this software. He said he did not know and I was the first to request this update.
Something else I found interesting was they gave me the DVD/CD update disk. When I told him that shouldn’t you keep this for others? he said no they would re-order it for that customer? Guess it is no big deal for them, and since it does have part # (68043349AB) maybe they charge it out under warranty.
If it was not for this Forum, how would any owner even know they could get rid of that screen? This disk works on 14 Chrysler models that have factory installed MYGIG Radios.
It took about 30 minutes to update and that is the only change I have seen so far. I would have thought maybe a GPS or “Bluetooth” update could have been part of this update but I guess not. Also I have updated our cell phones to Verizon’s Samsung Juke (U470) and they both were compatible and paired up correctly.
I know not everyone activates or keeps their SIRIUS radio active but why couldn’t they update MYGIG using satellite? My DVRs do this, not the phone line as in the past.
Chrysler really should notify all owners that this Update is available, free-of-charge, but that would cost money! They sent me by mail, a new engine tune label (Recall G-45) and told me to install it. I took it to the Dealer and the Service Technician got paid 0.2 hours to install it! They did not offer to pay me.
My 08 Nitro came with the .561 software(aroudn there anyway).
The newest software from the manufacturer is still not approved by dodge.
Thanks for your reply Ogar. On your 08 do you still have to touch the Acceptance Screen to remove it or does removes its self at start up. On my 07 I had to touch it each time I started it, but now with this latest TSB it removes it's self. I just hated to have to touch the screen to accept each time. It was really a dumb requirement. Now I am really pleased with the unit.(MyGig w/navigation & rear seat video)
Guess the only other dumb thing I could complain about is how loud the automatic locks are when the activate. Keep thinking they will wear-in and not be so loud. Are your 08 locks loud too? Maybe they added a 2 cent o-ring to the 08 Nitro (& Jeep Liberty) since no one else here seems to have this complaint.
It still makes me hit the accept button.
Its really an anoying feature that serves not purpose.
If you have any luck getting a dealer to do an install let me know so I can go back to my dealer and question them further

You need to re-read my first post and yes they ordered the revision and installed it under warranty. I did supply the Dealer a printed copy the TSB and they ordered it for me and called when it came in. Could not understand why they would not have it in stock, or why they gave the CD to me, but I am very pleased with this latest revision.
I thought maybe all new 08's might have come from the factory with this up-date since I have not seen anyone complain recently.
THANKS for responding and now you know what to do, too!
My 08 just recieved a new Mygig system due to defect and it is diff. then what came in car. The prompt you see automaticaly goes away after 10sec on mine.

Thanks for your info, so if you have to hit the prompt (as I did), either on a 07 or 08 you don't have the latest update and it is free and covered under warranty. But you do have to ask for it, and if do want it, I would print out the TSB from this Site and ask your Service Manager to order it for you. There were other issues addressed in this latest up-date, so it does not only eliminate the need to touch the screen to remove the message each time you start your Nitro. I would not know why anyone would not want to do this, or why Dodge does not inform all it owners, or why a Dealer would not perform this when you bring your Nitro in for service with out requesting it, or why they would not do this for any car/truck in their stock, or at least when it is sold? It would be good Page Ranking for Dodge, and more warranty income for Dealer Service Departments.
Hey Rick, just read your post. I have upgraded to version 9.713. I can't tell you all the specific updates, but the icons on the maps look nicer and have more detail. Also the text is easier to read on many of it's various screens. It's actually a smaller font so more text can be displayed, but whatever font they chose is sharper than before. I only updated a week ago, so I am still learning.
I downloaded this update from the net. Once downloaded, unzipped and loaded to disk, (DVD in my case) it was 413MB of data.
I have seen absolutely no hiccups from this update, but then again I have had no problems with MyGIG at all.
I want to point out something that is overlooked by many. While a stock MyGIG will not allow manual (touchscreen) input to program a destination entry while in motion, I have successfully used voice commands to program a destination more than once while in motion.

Thanks Tim for your info. I was aware of this yet to be approved Factory update and plan to just use their updates under warranty until they no longer service this unit. Maybe this will be the last, and if it is I have no problem doing my own updating (yes I have the DVD too). I have the I-Way 500C portable GPS for my Wife's car and I have updated it twice with a download. It will be interesting to see if the 09 Internet MyGIG version will be adaptable from MOPAR to our units.
