I downloaded the gracenotes and Sw update from here:
http://mofv.com/MyGIG/

Also, got an updated SW disc from Jeep at their My Jeep website by typing in my VIN and it came up and said my unit qualified for an update disc for the headunit SW update. Had the iPhone fix on it as well. It was the same SW update I had already downloaded from the MyGig site. Youll still need the gracenotes update though.

Like others said, you have to pay for the Nav (map) updates.

To anyone that has done the Gracenote update, I'm in need of some help. I downloaded a software and grace note update from the website linked above. The software update went smoothly. I then burned the grace note DVD (being sure to have only the folder and file in the root directory as the notes say you should), BUT...when I insert this DVD it just says DATA. No prompt to update like the software disk did. Any advice?

I got it to work. Ended up using Roxio and all went well. I can't remember the version now, but it was the most current that I found posted on the MYGIG forum. I believe it had come out earlier this year.

Thanks for all the feedback but I don't have a personal computer that I can burn this with. I have only my work laptop which will not let me perform this function. With those limitations, how can I get the actual discs to update my gracenotes and other features that are free to upgrade?
