The Sure Fire Way to know 100% that you don't need an extra Module to make Uconnect and VR to Function is.... >>>>>>> RER..........or ........RHR.....these two sets of three Letters are the Units that have All Features That a MyGig system can have and to make each function work for you, you add the secondary Hardware....

Bluetooth and Voice Recognition.....

Standard Mic ........
Back-Up Camera..........
Camera and Harness and/or a Over Priced Hacker Box

Head Rest Monitors or
Other Monitors and Hacker Box



IF YOUR SYSTEM DOES HAVE RER OR RHR IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, YOU WILL NEED A UCONNECT MODULE TO MAKE ANY VOICE FUNTIONS WORK.......HAVE FUN

If it is a factory installed RER, the radio has uconnect and the microphone for it.

If it is an RES, no uconnect.
I know for a fact that my radio has "RES" on the bottom right corner, and I for sure have Uconnect. Bought it from the dealer brand new, so it hasnt been added aftermarket, and it is on the build sheet and window sticker. Mine is a 2013 though, im not sure if they changed things in the past few years.

rer.....and....rhr...

Are the only mygigs that have uconnect built in the unit....the unit he has here would have to have it added as a separate unit to make it function and he could have it done before picking it up or could have it added on anytime ...those units or any other model of these head units can easily have features added..

The new units that are only the ram, dart and 2014 grand cherokee are a whole different ball game.


The rer and the rhr just need a mic, a mic is not included with the unit....

The uconnect he has here is a module with a mic and that plugs into the head unit.....

Mine just says RDS and has a little disc logo, but when you press the Uconnect it says unavailable. So is this easy to make work or I should just get another unit?

Sorry I just looked. The 130 was RES. The mic is located in the A pillar plastic.
