kwirges Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Anyone figured out a way to play video on the MyGig while the vehicle is in motion (yes, I know it is illegal). Just curious! I have seen units that cost around $300 that will do it - but I am certain there HAS to be some sort of override "code". :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 yes, if someone knows how to override that, it would be great to have, kid in the center and passenger get some entertainment. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hit-By-Thunder Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 yes, if someone knows how to override that, it would be great to have, kid in the center and passenger get some entertainment. steve There is the lockpick for doing all kinds of locked features. Go to You Tube and type in MyGig in the search menu. There is a guys who has a Caravan and showed how to do it but some of his comments say it doesn't work for them. Be worth a try if you have the same set up, Let us know if it works. The guy had a DVD playing while the vehicle was on. He pushed the Audio (I think) button when that screen came up, he put the vehicle in Drive and while in Drive he went back to the DVD and it was playing <_< Don't know if it will work for but let us know either way would be great Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwirges Posted April 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Yeah, I saw that youtube video sometime ago and literally RAN OUTSIDE to my car to try it. However, it did not work on my Journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 i did discover that the older systems could be bypassed, i suppose everyone ought to try to see if your respective vehicle will work mine would not. here is what works on older models w/mygig: turn on vehicle start dvd movie push watch video while still in park now push audio button shift into drive then select done on audio screen the machines that havent been fixed will start playing the movie apparently the journey has the bug fixed also, try the same procedure w/the menu button steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amylite Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I have an '09 SXT FWD in IL. My video was completely disabled in my REN MyGig. I took it to the dealer and asked the service guys to Starscan tool it and they did, making videos play while in park (which is legal in other states, but I guess IL says no video screen in the front seat, period?). Anyway, on a subsequent trip, I asked my accomodating service guys to see if they could make the video run while in motion. They were great to try, but told me if I had the upgraded MyGIG with nav, it could be done. But not on the non-nav REN model. Oh well, worth a try! ab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf L. Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 look at getting mygig lockpick v.2. It unlocks several features including running the backup camera while driving, and installing a park assist front camera (avail from the same people). It 290 bucks at this site - http://www.coastaletech.com/MYGIG.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W_A_Watson_II Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 which is legal in other states, but I guess IL says no video screen in the front seat, period?ab If that's the case, I'm real glad my Journey came from MI rather than hear in IL.

amylite Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I admit its cool to be able to watch a movie in the car, but it rarely gets used being that you can only do it in park. I go to the car sometimes at lunch and sit and watch, but have to be careful as I lose track of time! Now that the screen is enabled, my son wants me to throw it in park at every red light. sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is there web site. http://www.coastaletech.com/MYGIG.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booker T Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 If that's the case, I'm real glad my Journey came from MI rather than hear in IL. It's illegal to watch a video in Michigan while driving, but not in park. My Mygig with Nav and rear screen works great. I'm considering the lock pick because it is impossible to change any movie setting or start location for young kids sitting in the back without killing yourself arching your back over the front seat to see it in the rear screen.
