No. But, I've got one on order. After knashing my teeth about it for several months, I finally came to the conclusion that I liked the all inclusiveness of the unit and the 3 year warranty. I've got the RES in my Grand and, from a navigation and entertainment standpoint, it does pretty much everything I need. Plus, as I mention above, I'm also convinced that you'll eventually be able to buy parts to make the U-Connect operational, though they may be intended for a different Chrysler vehicle.

 

I will probably break down and get a MyGig as well. I wonder if a dealer would install the U Connect bluetooth bits and pieces but not the microphone. I would like the caller ID features that bluetooth would offer as well as dialing from the contact database (if that is possible through U Connect). I can always use a bluetooth headset for the actual call so I could care less about having the microphone part of the system.

 

Jeff can probably answer this better than I can. But, I think, unless Chrysler comes out with an official add-on, you would be hard pressed to get a dealer to install the parts in a Wrangler that they weren't originally intended for. They wouldn't want to held responsible for any operational issues. Of course, it doesn't hurt to ask.

 

Being a techo-junky at heart, I can't wait to play with a MyGig... if you factor in what you would have to buy, 1 ipod, 2 DVD player, 3 GPS, 4 SIRIUS radio, etc, its not actually a bad deal at $1600...

The u-connect I can live without... what's it do that my cell phone w/speaker phone doesnt do?

 

Does anybody know where I can track down info on the MyGig system? Namely, I know some aftermarket head units will not play DVDs unless you are parked. Is this the same on MyGig? Also, does the unit have any pre-amp outputs for hooking up an amp? Is there a rear-view camera available for it? What about hooking up additional lcd monitors?

Any help would be appreciated.

I just ordered my JK with the MyGig. No rear camera option that I know of, and yes you must be parked to watch a DVD. Still questioning whether or not UConnect will work with. I have heard from a few members that it wont. Yet anyway. Mygig has the voice activitated nav, so I am hoping the UConnect will work. It has some cool options, like the storage for pics and music, and the Sirius. Hope this helped

 

You can be assured that the UConnect feature is not going work when you get your Wrangler. That does not mean you may not be able to buy parts later to make it work. But, the feature is not offered on the Wrangler now. It's a shame, but in Daimler Chrysler's infinite wisdom they have elected not to make it available.

 

Yes it's the same ...it won't play when the vehicle is moving.

Also... I'm told that the twenty gig hard drive in the MYGig gets mostly taken up by the music program
and the maps that are on file, leaving you with a wopping 6 to 8 gig for your own files.
And one other thing...You can't add your own maps to the nav system,
like if you wanted to maybe put some topo maps in there.

I've posted this elsewhere on this forum, but it seems to me if you're willing to buy other parts to get UConnect, why not research other bluetooth companies, like Parrot, who have kits that will work w/just about any OEM head unit, and give you hands free, dim the radio when you're on a phone call, voice recognition dialing, and other features.....I think it's only a little over $200.

 

There isn't any reason why you shouldn't research other options. But, if you can eventually buy an auto dimming mirror w/bluetooth embedded in it that plugs directly into MyGig for about $250, why wouldn't you wait and see if it would work? Theoretically, it should. There are Chrysler vehicles being built now with MyGig that are connected to a mirror as I've described above. Sebring, Nitro, 300, whatever.....if the female connection on the back of the MyGig is the same (I can't believe it wouldn't be), you ought be able to take applicable parts intended for other vehicles and use them with the Wrangler when you have MyGig.
