if you are going to take the dash apart again take you $50 and put it towards the lockpick and mic go to http://www.coastaletech.com/MYGIG.htm and take a look, you can rout the wiring harness so you can access it through the glove box hole so you can add a camera later without taking the dash apart again. Then buy a camera that suits your needs from eBay that's what i did

I read that this can be done in engineering mode. I get to a screen that warns me about it I press ok and then nothing happens? Running out for the night but will be researching more tonight and back at it tomorrow. Any help would be appreciated. That site you told me about mofv.com/mygig/ is great!

The site doesn't seem to list an update for the RHR unit. I'm still looking around. I have 2.1 installed. If the sirius works the antenna is working, so I think the nav needs a recalibration or maybe time? I read this on the mygig forum "Also, if the radio has been out of touch with the satellites for a while, it can take a long time to recalibrate itself. 20 minutes or more of driving on a main road."

Yes my jeep has a working compass on the dash. When I hook up the Sirius antenna the satellite radio works. While driving the arrow on the nav follows me, but it doesn't adjust the map to my area.

It seems to come down to the gps/satellite antenna. Since the new model combines both into one plug, the sirius antenna doesn't seem to be compatible with the gps/nav in the deck. with the sirius antenna hooked up the deck still seems to be showing the code of a missing gps antenna.
