#90 of 91 Re: Fitting '08 TnC with VES [trooper_sam] by tedebear Aug 25, 2009 (7:05 pm)
Replying to: trooper_sam (Aug 20, 2009 12:02 am) Does anybody have any experiences to share regarding this? I know there are aftermarket devices such as the ALLGIG-USB (do a Google search) that will enable the VES, so there should be a way for the dealer to do it. I'm sure they already tried the StarScan tool to see if there's some setting they have to turn on that enables the VES. It shouldn't be all that hard for them to get working. On the Sirius TV it would probably cost a lot and I think another antenna has to be added but it can probably be done. Check out the link below. It has a lot of excellent information on doing things with your MyGIG that you won't find in the owner's manual. There's also a very active MyGIG forum that might be able to help answer your questions. Unofficial MyGIG Information Site Replies to this message: trooper_sam (Aug 25, 2009 11:33 pm)

Replying to: tedebear (Aug 25, 2009 7:05 pm) Update: The dealer was able to get the VES system working, and all is well. There was a minor hitch when they forgot to hook up the backup camera, but they took care of that this morning in less than an hour. As for Sirius TV, I haven't been able to find whatever module Chrysler uses for it, and I'm not going with aftermarket, so we'll do fine without it.
