Language and UConnect.
Dec 11, 2007 1:09AM PST

Actually no modification required for the radio.
just plug in the mic into middle cavity of the radio and route the mic wire.Software update will keep the same version as original and dealer will never figure out that software has been updated.
Language settings are very simple.
Need to go to "Menu" "System setup" "Language"
Select "Set language as English" and it will do it.
Please note that the language should match your cluster language settings.

Language and Uconnect
Dec 11, 2007 1:35AM PST

Middle Cavity of the Radio is that in the back of the Radio ? I have to remove it from its resting place. ? Any type of Mic will do this ?

As for Software where do I obtain this, currently I have even searched through the Makers of the software that runs the Navigation system ... I was informed that the dealership does not ship the upgrade dish with the vehicle anymore after October 2007 for the Wrangler Series.

Language? No I tried that it was stuck in Spanish. No amount of pushing buttons changed it Amerustech.. the dealership asked me where it was made and the serial no, for the truck. If it starts with 1 it was made in America, 2 in canada, and 3 in Mexico. I did notice when it was stuck in spanish it was on Sat 6, and when it miraculously changed back to english one morning after starting it it was on SAT 8... so go figure.

Letter to Amerustech to fix Jeep Wrangler 2007 Uconnect ?
Dec 11, 2007 1:47AM PST

I am including the letter to Amerustech in hopes for a answer, I will post a reply, so everyone else who doesn't have Uconnect in these models can be lead in some direction.

Good Morning,

I was informed that your company fixes the difficulty with the MYGig Navigation systems that are
installed in the 2007 Jeep Wranglers. Currently the systems are disabled for the U-connect and they do not
have a Mic installed for the usage of the system.

In my research I was pointed in your direction in hopes to obtain a Upgrade disk for this situation to enable the
Uconnect, as well as a Mic that will work with the U-connect MyGig Navigation system...

Any information would be appreciated,

Thank you, a Jeep Owner

I emailed the Amerus Technology and they told me they do not make any upgrade for the Jeep Wrangler and the Uconnect system

Wrangler UConnect available

This is a wrong information. We have microphone kit to enable UConnect on Wranglers, but only with MYGIG Navigation system.
What radio do you have?

Re: Bluetooth in Wrangler MyGig Nav
Jan 21, 2008 12:57PM PST

I just purchased a 2008 Rubicon. I was told the U-Connect (bluetooth) hands free is not available for the Wrangler Jeeps. Sorry. The excuse they gave was it was a convertible and the microphone is designed to mount above the sunvisor and this can't be done with a Jeep because the top can be removed. Dumb excuse I know but if anyone hears otherwise Happy

MYGIG mic kit
Jan 23, 2008 6:38AM PST

I too am a new Jeep Wrangler owner caught offguard by misleading literature. I've pursued explanation with Chrysler and the dealer to no avail. Both provide no explanation whatever and both point me to one another. There should be a group action on this as the glossy brochure is shadily ommissive of Uconnect among other MyGIG features but does not explicitly note that this part of MyGIG is disabled. The Jeep web site (check out building your own purchase online) continues to this day to advertise voice recognition as a feature for Wranglers. They also play a game, as noted on other threads, pointing Uconnect questions to the Sebring. In the end many buyers aren't aware of being shortchanged this way until they take possession.

In any case, I might as well pursue the ART upgrade. Reading this thread I note ART is temporarily out of stock. Does anyone know when the kit is coming in and can somweone clarify that the rest of the software functionality e.g. next time the nav or gracenotes update is downloaed it wil not be affected by or override this ART download?

Does anybody have the details for copying pictures to the hard drive?
The manual in the car is too vague. I've tried copying to a CD and tried the DYNEX card reader/writter with a USB without any luck.

Does anyone know how to get the dual DVD/CD player to play a different DVD on each screen. I believe that it can be done.
Thanks
