Mc-
I have every option on 2011 Rubi except the ashtray. Mine is all factory installed since I ordered it. I have not encountered any problems with the 550chr or the nav/uconnect/sat radio. Only quirk, which makes complete sense and therefore is not a problem in my book, is that the GPS Speed reads 0mph. All the functions about eta, time to destination, etc are still accurate and functional. All steering wheel controls works flawlessly with Iphone. Uconnect works as advertised. The bluetooth streaming is a little shaky. However, it was that way BEFORE I installed the lockpick.

Ipod controls are thru the steering wheel buttons. Simple and clear cut. I didn't even read the manual on the chr550. I just figured it out. Everything is touchcreen menu and pretty self explanatory. You can see menu of iphone music on your nav screen. Album art is also shown on the screen once the song is selected.


The ONLY thing I do not like or would change in a perfect world.... the chr550 iphone connector is attached to a chord that could be used to winch out several Hummer H2's due to it's thickness and lack of flexibility.
That sucker is thick. If it were similar to an iphone chord, I would run it through dash and have it installed into the dash tray. Instead, I place the iphone in the glove compartment box.

If the cable to too thick from the CHR550, how about just using a 3ft extension cable like this

It says that its thin, so could just plug the thick one into this and run it to the dash tray. I'm thinking of getting the CHR550, so was looking for this.

I have had big dramas with the Chr-550 on my 2010 mygig. The DVD plays while in motion but none of the menus come up so no other functions (iPhone/pod cable or selectable camera options basically nothing else) work. I bought it off eBay and there is literally no customer support?!?! Not happy at all!! Buyer beware sure but just a reply would be nice

So for me it's been a very expensive lesson.

Sorry to hear this simosa. I bought mine direct from maker's website. I have a 2011. I have yet to have any problems or glitches. DId you make sure your pins are set right and then unplug and replug back in?

so far... so good. I just need to quit being lazy and install my rear camera into the bumper for proper viewing angle since I will be using to align a trailer ball.

So, I'm thinking of picking one of these up. I have the whole unconnect system with the USB port in the center console. Will I still be able to use this set up? Got a little nervous with the comment on how big their cord is.

Did anyone have an issue when installing the CHR550. Everything would be installed and connected and when you turned the vehicle on the MyGig would remain off and give a "ticking" sound. That is what I am getting from mine after installing it.
