I cant say WHY it stopped working, but can suggest some things to try. I'd first disconnect the battery for 10 mins, then reconnect it. Oddly, that worked for me recently.....My ,yGIG stopped working at all (after I had disconnected battery for about an hour), but started back again after I did a 10 min disconnect/reconnect.

If that doesn't work, I'd pull the unit out of the dash and disconnect, then reconnect the mic cable (making sure it wasn't crimped or otherwise damaged).

All this considers that the mic is in good shape, hasn't gotten wet recently, etc.

Good luck!

I have the mic from the lockpick site. How much is the mopar mic? Maybe it's the mic that is the problem. It's not old at all...

You might want to check your mic. I also had the lockpick mic, and it to stopped working (and it didn't even work that great to begin with.

So I had the mic I got with my allgig, so I switched them. I was recently going to sell the coastaltech mic and when I went to ship it, I noticed one of the wires had become disconnected. I wonder if it was just a sh!tty job on my mic or in general.

I do not mean to bash them at all, but I was disappointed with the mic. I LOVE the new one. It is much more noticeable but have NO complaints from people when on the phone with them and the radio gets the voice commands right every time. With the coastaltech mic, I stopped using voice commands, I constantly a different station that requested.

Then again, it could be my Jerzey accent.

Just to double check the obvious. Did you try going into the setup menu and double check that when you installed the new update that it didn't somehow disable JK/VR? That would be a much easier fix than getting a new mic, but at least the Mopar one isn't real expensive.
