Upgrading 2010 Cali Headunit with Another Chrysler unit?

Could you ask your friend if would be possible to get a media unit like this to work on the Mygig?

I suspect that the software releases are given to them by Harman Becker. Possibly even engineering versions along with the ability to troubleshoot ST10 errors etc. In fact this reminds me of when the early mygigs were released, HB was supporting customers directly. There was some back and forth with customers through a support email address and a handful of software updates came out bypassing the dealers initially. Most notably the clock fix as its called. Later, Chrysler found out and the story is that they stopped HB from doing that so customers would get pushed through the dealer network and its been that way ever since. Its unfortunate thats what happened because a lot of radios with early HDD firmwares were messed up because dealer techs would flash them without knowing any better.

 

I replaced my head unit. No faults.

 

Hi

I actually have looked into this, some of these mygig units are can have sofware upgrades on them. The question here is what version do we have? On the keep units they have additional capabilities after the software update like streaming I think. I try to get my hands on a used unit and test it out.

 

On the original Cali, The Units aren't really worth upgrading. You'd be better off replacing the NIT. There is no inherent value in keeping the stock NIT from a pre Apple Car Play unit. You'd do better Upgrading to an Apple/Google carplay unit with cameras etc. People get scared about steering wheel controls, but that can be handled as long as you buy the correct conversion harness.
