Updates and Upgrades for MyGig RER 730N and SOX MyGig Update Download site mygig@soxag. Re: update the map. Usually you can update the map in offcial website of the map, and it is free. You can also check here,here are the different model car dvd with 2009 latest igo map, I have buy one from them. I can ask the harmon becker guys when I see them in a couple of weeks. I'm pretty sure there is different hardware in the unit which controls the nav. I recall seeing a post somewhere (not sure if here or not) that told of being careful not to try and flash the w/o nav units with the wrong software, or it could turn it into a brick. It was either that or that the w/o nav units wouldn't accept a flash of the with nav software. I have the last release of nav software on a disc from H/B. They had no problem just giving it to me, so I assume there must be some reason you can't put it on the regular mygig units that don't have nav. Otherwise I would expect them to be more careful who they gave it to. Typically the MyGig comes with either Nav (Infotainment) or with the 20GB of hard disk space (Entertainment). It may be a bit more complicated to ad navigation to your MyGig system because the Navigation is run through the satellite radio (and is on subscription). Most 2007 Chrysler models that had navigation did not have MyGig, and navigation was ran off a separate disk drive. I have had a few customers who purchased an aftermarket navigation system and have managed to integrate it with their Mygig system (like a TomTom for example), using the 'Aux' jack, or even the AC Outlet. Anyway, I'll ask around and see if I could get some more info for ya. I found this site. It seems like you can buy the GPS Antenna, but the real question is can we get the install software for the Nav part. I have also read that the update for the Nav will not work if you don't have Nav, obviously. So, can anyone get the software that is used on a new install? I doubt it can happen. AvengerRT, can you ask around and see if they can pull some strings for a software upgrade?? *edit* There would have to be these install discs available. How would the dealer reinstall the software on a corrupt system? I found this site.

How To Update Car NavigationHow would the dealer reinstall the software on a corrupt system? Almost down at the bottom of the page is this: [SIZE=+1] DVD geographic database discs:[/SIZE] Since the MyGIG radios store the mapping software on the built-in hard drive, vehicles that come from the factory with the MyGIG radios no longer include a DVD navigation disc. Future upgrades will be released on either a CD (smaller updates) or DVD (major updates). To date (October 2007), no discs have been issued. The latest versions of the MyGIG software are listed to the right. October 2007 Application Version: NTG4_9.561 Database: RS6-N-106 0642 Gracenotes: v534 Does that mean that the dealer can get this disc? Is this disc the OEM install software? Anybody that works in the Service department may be able to find out for sure. Also, there is no cost listed for this. Anyone can get the disc. I have the disc. There should be no charge for it, so if a dealer ever tryed, tell them you are not paying and get with Harmon Becker yourself. My concern is that aside from the external GPS antenna and sirius satellite stuff, there is some internal hardware that goes along with it. They just arn't going to include the GPS hardware needed inside the unit for free but load it with software that doens't use it. That doesn't happen, period. I work in the automotive supplier industry. We have parts that have mulitple levels and even though with the right level software you could disable some features, you don't ship them with all the components for everything. Files. Its all about penny pinching. Chrysler Navigation UpdateIf you can save.05 cents here or there, you save it. I understand where your coming from, its like a pc, just a software upgrade, but I really don't think thats how they do it. Either way, I will ask around and see, but don't get your hopes up. I think there is a link here or on another forum (nitro one maybe?) that someone has posted the cd for download. You could d/l and try, but do so at your own risk. It may turn your radio into a brick.
