I was very pleased and surprised that the latest MYGIG Radio Software Update did download my present phone book automatically. You see this Verizon "Juke" by Samsung is nearly 2 years old, so I did not think the phone would allow this function, but it did!

RANT

August 3, 2010

First off I have just installed the latest software updates to my 2007 MyGIG/ Uconnect REP GPS Satellite Radio (2.107 June 2010 & Gracenotes DVD 2057) and now feel this could be the last Factory updating due to a new system for NITRO in 2011.

I now have the best and most updated software as used in 2010 in my 2007. I don't presently own a iPod or iPhone, but if i do in the future, they should work just fine, so what is the issue?

I'm I the only one that wants to run the latest software in my car, like I do on my computers? If not why is it so hard to do so?

Following this Site and TSBs and recalls I was able to have my Dealership update my system under warranty with the latest software three or four times at no cost. When I saw the Mopar Factory part number for one I just ordered it from their Parts Department and installed it myself. Cost for the disc was only $11.88.

When I asked about this latest update they could not even find it or knew where to look since I didn't have their part number. I do believe they would have had this latest update CD in their Service Department and would have updated my Nitro for a small charge but I wanted these CDs as backups for the future.

Why doesn't the Parts Departments push, stock and sell these updates? Why doesn't the Service Departments check each vehicle that they service and offer updated software installs for a small fee? I'm I the only one that would buy? Why did Chrysler give up their right to sell GPS map updates? Now you can only buy from NAUTEQ for $199 per year?

Anyway I did just purchase these update from MYGIG RER Software Set, Update 2.107 + Gracenotes 2057 - eBay (item 220640784965 end time Aug-19-10 13:35:34 PDT) and install with instructions went great so it was Chrysler's loss.

The software upgrade is covered under the 3-year/36,0000-mile warranty, and possibly under some service contracts. For specific details in your case and to schedule an appointment to upgrade your 730N radio (RER) for the iPhone 4 compatibility issues, contact your local Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep® or Ram dealer.
