I probably would not have purchased it if it didn't have the MyGIG. I have done several software application updates to keep up with the latest upgrades but the MyGIG in my Sebring has been a fun toy to play with and a convenient resource when driving.

Replying to: tedebear (Oct 23, 2008 8:14 pm) I have had so many problems with it since week 1. I also keep it updated with the latest versions. Many times the GPS refuses to work. I was once in an unfamiliar area and asked the system to "Guide me home", but it was calculating the route for more than 20 minutes, until I shut it off. I had to use my Verizon Wireless VZ Navigator which worked perfectly. That's besides that the VZW has always updated information and nearly 13 million POI which I think is more than double than those of Chrysler's. And recently I got an offer from Chrysler that they updated many roads and added millions of POI's, but they're asking for the update CD a whooping $200. No, thanks. Then I have many problems with my volume. Many times i turn on my system, everything shows up but you can't hear anything. Even the volume does not show up on the LCD. The only thing I could do is wait a few hours until it kind of "resets" itself to a regular functioning unit. This makes me so crazy. Then I have a problem with my Uconnect system. When I get the first phone call, or dial out for the first time after starting the van, there is no sound from the system until I hang up, and only then I hear the "Phone call completed" notification which means that from that point on I could make phone calls as usual. By the way, this problem appeared only after my last update of the MyGig system. It was very good before. In overall, the interface, the LCD resolution, the features, all are much behind competitors. Examples include: - Does not read the phone book from your cell phone; - Does not read the picture ID from your cell phone; - You can not see during song playback a progress bar so you have no clue how long this song will take to end. - You can not sort your songs in a particular order (Alphabetical, for example). I have some MP3's in order like: 1) 08.mp3, 2) 02.mp3, 3) 11.mp3, and so on, in no specific order. - The hard drive is very noisy at times. Sounds like the computers with hard drives of 20 years ago. It's time to move to flash based drives, especially in a moving vehicle. There is so much more. I don't remember everything at the moment. In general. when you should read some reviews and comparisons about navigation systems and entertainment systems, most reviewers will agree that Chrysler's are from the bottom on list. |

Anyone experience a leak around the area of their rad cap? The dealership has changed my rad cap 2 times thinking it was the problem, but I noticed antifreeze on the driveway today and alot of spray in the area of the rad cap. I took a mirror and looked for a crack in the plastic, leaky hose, etc could not see it. Back to the dealership it goes. Almost seems like once the cap heats up the antifreeze escapes out the sides of the rad cap somehow..

Replying to: frank944 (Oct 26, 2008 2:50 pm) Fuel injector service pertains to the fuel injectors themselves. These injectors shoot gasoline into your cylinders at presice time intervals and volume according to the the demand. They can become clogged or partially blocked which requires, cleaning or even replacing to ensure your engine is running the way it should. This can effect your fuel mileage as well. So no this is not the same as servicing on your spark plugs. Those are usually a change out item and they may do this with a fuel injection service you will have to ask. |

I have a question. What if I sit in my van full of passengers and I get a phone call on the Uconnect system. This discussion can not be for the public, so I want to answer it on my cell phone, not through the van's speakers. Is there a way to do it? Most other bluetooth systems DO have it.

Replying to: samnoe (Oct 27, 2008 4:53 am) Here is what it says in the online MyGIG owner's manual. I've never noticed if there's a mute button but you could probably just turn down the volume control. UConnect allows you to transfer calls between the system and your cellular phone as you enter or exit your vehicle, and enables you to mute the system’s microphone for private conversations. Hmm...now that I've studied that I think it is referring to muting the call so that you can talk to someone inside the vehicle and not let the person on the phone hear you. Anyway, you might try turning down the volume control on the MyGIG and seeing if you can still hear the person through the phone. A lot of information in the online manual. Here's something else: Transfer Call to Cellular Phone The UConnect system allows ongoing calls to be transferred to your cellular phone without terminating the call. To transfer an ongoing call from the UConnect system to your UConnect paired cellular phone: 1. Press the VR hard-key (bargin-in). 2. Say TRANSFER CALL |
