Default MyGig issue. help!

My mygig unit has been resetting itself every 30 seconds for the past 2 weeks. It's driving me insane. It reboots every 30 seconds and I'm ab to lose my mind. Does anyone know any kind of fix? Ive tried pulling the fuse and pulled the battery cables off for a bit. Neither helped. I'm out if warranty... Stealership wants 80$ to flash it, but if it doesn't fix anything I still have to pay, or replace it for waaay too much. Blows my mind that they won't diagnose an issue, just customer pays to flash and/or replace. Anyone have any ideas? I will be eternally grateful... Thanks!

One of the downfalls of the increasing amount of electronics on modern vehicles. The service guys turn wrenches. They are not electronic technicians.

Yea I was hoping the dealership would throw me a bone w the flash. If it works I pay, if it doesn't id pay for the time....

Hopefully someone with experience w these things can chime in... I'm not scared to pull the thing apart, I just need some direction

Thanks for the info... I popped my cd in to update the software, it started as it should but the damn radio still reboots, so it can't start n for sure can't complete. Any other ideas... Could it possibly be a short that I can test for? Any ideas anyone?

Thanks again

Hmm, well the only other thing that I cant think of is to go ahead and remove it from the dash and make sure all of the connectors are completely seated. I would pop them all off and then re-seat them.

Hope that helps
