MyGiG REU "Dead"


Recommended Posts

Had a UK 09 Journey now about 2 weeks with an REU MyGig with UConnect, & Satellite. This evening started the engine and saw the Dodge logo, did not hit "Accept" - just left it like normal, next thing, the screen is blank, and there is no activity.

Standing still with the engine off I think I can heard the hard drive, and when lights are on the buttons are illuminated (blue) so suspect there is power... its almost like its hung and fails to do a POST check...??

Confused in case I managed to hit some combination which put the unit to sleep??

Any ideas... ?

Very frustrating though!

TIA!

Most times it will reset when you turn off the ignition and restart. The issue is it will happen again. It happened twice a month to mine until I updated the software for the Navigation. If this was purchased new then ask your dealer to check the software version. In North America the most recent version is 8.207 and this did not come available until after April 2009. If you have a 2009 then it was likely built prior to or close to April 2009 and may have the original version which was famous for failure. I have not had a single hard drive hangup since the upgrade. The upgrade package I purchased came with maps update and appearance updates as well.

Good luck

So, it came back to life the next morning... go figure :banghead: ! I checked with the garage and I do have the latest software according to them, so will need to keep an eye on it... They thought they had had a new software version come in in the last couple of day, but the UK Journey software (REU?) is not the same package as the one they received...

One other quick question... What is the latest Gracenote version for a UK Journey MyGig? I have 882 and looking at places like MoFv there are higher versions, but confused about which set (i.e.: 88x or 10xx) it is I should be looking at.

TIA!

Hi Stoogie,

Radio outage happend to me twice. 1st time out for 24 hrs. Second time I took advice from another Journey user and pulled out the 'big' fuse and replaced after 1 min. It does not actiually come out just up a bit.That fixed it.

Go to http://www.mofv.com/mygig/ to get UK journey gracenotes 1289. I have installed this and its fine but still get lots of CD's not recognised.

Cheers.
