The links below will take you to the store page.
Manuals and Installation guides are below 'Add to Cart'
This is usually due to the GPS signal being weak and needing to have a stronger lock. Please try the following steps:
1. Drive around to sync the satellites with your unit. This could take up to 24 hours.
2. Unplug, then plug your GPS antenna connector – push hard to verify a good connection. Do not severely bend the cable since you might break the internal wire.
3. Re-position the antenna for better signal reception – verify no metal object is above the antenna. Window tint can also affect satellite reception. You could temporarily place the antenna outside of the vehicle just to illuminate any obstructions.
4. Change your region: select “DEST”, then touch the map (right side of the screen). Now select your region.
5. Eject the Map Disc and reinstall it.
If you're still having issues, please feel free to to contact the support department for additional assistance.

1) Send an email to Dodge Customer Care. Let them know that you've upgraded your system to an RB5 unit and that you need to have the sales code "RSM" added to your VIN. Tell them which dealer you use, since they will use them to authorize/perform the update.
2) Your dealer will contact you and quote you a price for adding the sales code. If you can bundle this with a backup camera, even better!
3) After you have agreed to have the service done, you will need to pre-pay the service charge. The dealer will then contact Chrysler/Dodge and authorize them to add the sales code on their end - again, the dealer cannot add the RSM code locally.
4) When Chrysler/Dodge gets the code added to your VIN, they'll contact the dealer and let them know that it's been completed, and the dealer should contact you.
5) Take the car in to the dealer and let them reflash your sales codes. After that, you'll have the "More" icon in the corner and Travel Link should be working fine.
Turn the vehicle off and let sleep for 30 seconds.
Start the vehicle and look for the XM icon. If it’s not appearing shut the vehicle off again and let sleep for 30 seconds.
Retry for up to 3 times and the icon will appear once the infotainment system recognizes the newly installed satellite radio tuner.
Please contact support if this does not resolve issue.
If your GPS location isn't accurate when viewing the navigation, your instrument cluster will switch between two directions (N & S), and possibly showing you driving relatively close, but may be haywire at times, please see below:
This is a cluster problem that can be easily fixed by disconnecting the GPSM.
The GPSM is typically under the center speaker grill.
This image is just an example of where to find the GPSM. Your vehicle may be different.
Your owners manual can usually tell you where it's located.
If you're still having issues, please feel free to open a ticket, or reach out to the support department directly.
If you have installed your HMI Module, and are getting this message on the screen with Navigation, then unfortunately the programming was deleted.
This can happen if your vehicle was taken to a dealership for help with the install, and they flashed or reprogrammed it.
We include warnings and advise installers to be aware it should not require any kind of programming on their part.
Please contact support below to obtain an RMA to send the module back for reprogramming.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Please attempt re-locating the GPS antenna to above the dash or on the roof.
Additionally, if the unit was recently installed, try to be patient while it calibrates. Be sure you're not in a garage, or around anything that could obsure the GPS signal.
If not effective in not resolving issue, please contact support.
To reset the unit to factory defaults please do the following:
•Navigate to Settings the the app drawer (should be on the second page)
•Scroll all the way down to System Information
•Scroll all the way down to Reset to Factory Defaults.
It will prompt you stating it will restart in two minutes. After pressing okay, please be patient and wait, It may appear it's not doing anything, but after two minutes the unit should restart and most likely show the SRT logo.
•Stay in vehicle
•Close the door
•Remove the keys
•Wait until the headlights, dash lights, and radio turn completely off
•Start the vehicle
The Navigation System in the MyFord Touch (MFT) models has two integral parts:
•First is the GPSM (Global Positioning System Module) which is a GPS receiver.
•The other part of the system is the APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) also known as the SYNC module which is attached to the rear of the MFT display.
The GPSM receives signals from the GPS satellites and then transmits that data over the vehicle network to the APIM. The APIM then uses this GPS data to “know” the location of the vehicle. Depending on other circumstances the APIM may also use data from other modules within the vehicle network.
It is important that both the GPSM and APIM have the most up to date software.
Unfortunately, it is not possible for the vehicle owner to determine the software level in the GPSM. The only way to know if an update is available for the GPSM is to go to the dealer or someone with the dealer vehicle software known as IDS and have them hook up to the vehicle and check for software updates.

If you're having any of the issues below, you may need to install the VSS kit (brown connector) which should have been included in your kit along with a set of pictured instructions.
Not all vehicles require a VSS kit. The VSS Kit was developed to solve two potential problems that might occur after installation. 1. GPS Tracking: •The navigation display doesn’t accurately follow me down the highway. •My current location vs. what’s being displayed on the navigation screen seems to be different. 2. Voice Commands: •After I input a destination and while I’m driving to that destination – the navigation system only gives me two voice commands saying “Proceed to the highlighted route” and “You’ve reached your destination”.
MyGIG radio/navigation units are not capable of streaming audio through the USB port (except for the RHR).
The USB ports are for charging devices, as well as reading data such as music or pictures, and copying them to the hard drive.
With some units, software updates can also be loaded onto a USB drive and applied to the radio/nav unit.
Bluetooth wireless streaming is possible on many units, if you pair your device with the radio/nav unit.
Both the RBZ and RHB have voice texting capability.
Simply pair your phone and allow it to access and download your contacts, make sure to press "Okay" on the message allowing voice texting.
When you receive a text the system will ask you if you want to hear the text. Follow the prompts to listen to the text.

If you are receiving this message, then you have either a Chrysler 200 or Jeep Cherokee.
These two vehicles use a Fiat based computer system and will on occasion need to have the vehicle programmed or "flashed" for the option code of the unit you purchased, either RA3(VP3) or RA4 (VP4).
This can be done at any Chrysler Dodge Jeep or Fiat dealership.

A dealer SYNC system reflash or update WILL affect this navigation upgrade.
Make it clear to the dealer NOT to do this without your permission.
If they want to do this to correct an issue PLEASE contact us first, we will be happy to cover any issues with our kit.
The navigation unit will need a hard reset.
Remove the positive and negative battery cables from your battery, touch them together, and then reconnect them to the battery.
This will resolve several potential issues with the navigation system.
If this does not fix the issue, there may be a possible hardware/software related issue that may need to be addressed. Please reach out to support for further assistance.
Please try these troubleshooting steps:
•Double check the cable you have connected is properly inserted into the device
•Swap the cable with the original cable that came with your device.
•Try the second USB port.
Follow these steps if above is correct:
•Verify your phone is in fact charging when plugged in.
•Do you have the Android Auto app installed?
-If you did previously, uninstall the app and simply plug the phone into your nav, it should prompt you to download it.
If the above fails, please read on:
"Connect Supported Device"
Go to the settings on the home screen on your navigation unit.
You should see "Android Auto Settings" and "Apple Carplay Settings".
If you're only seeing "Carplay Settings" your infotainment system is one of the first generation models and will need to be re-programmed/swapped to enable Android Auto.
The 2016 HMI 2.5 models did not originally offer Android Auto despite being compatible with it. This is a fluke/bug during the programming process that is extremely rare.
Please reach out to the support department if you do not have "Android Auto Settings" in your Settings.
If you just purchased your unit, the security code should be written on a wallet size card taped to the front or top of the unit. With some units, the code is hand written on the top of the unit (usually on the label) and it would be a 4 digit number.
If the code received with your unit does not work, please the following default codes:
RHR - 1234
RHB/RBZ - 0000
Sometimes we receive radios that do not prompt for a code, due to the canbus we use on our bench testing equipment. if you received a unit with no code and cannot find it on the label please contact support@oemautopartsco.com or oemship@gmail.com to have the code sent.
If you did not purchase from us, or you have moved your system to another vehicle and need the code, please contact our sister company NavRepair for assistance at support@navrepair.com or 1-855-628-7372 .

If you have paired your device to the unit, but you cannot be heard on a phone call, or the unit isn't receiving voice commands, please check your UConnect Microphone setup.
Ram trucks with an RA2, RA3 or RA4 8.4" screen might require a Ram UConnect Mic kit.
Please see the link below for price and availability.
The most common reason this message appears is because the GPS antenna isn't positioned correctly within the vehicle.
A GPS Antenna needs to be placed somewhere near the top of your dash, with no metal object between it and the windshield.
If your unit will not update showing your location after driving around a few miles, try checking the position of the antenna.
Next, check the port on the back of the unit where your antenna connects, and make sure you see a PIN in the center and is not bent or missing.
In some situations, for a GPS signal to lock with a unit, you may need to drive in a circle three times clockwise, then counter clockwise three times to calibrate the GPS.
Below are the common issues associated with the USB Stick Sync Upgrade Kit
"You have already updated your software successfully. Please remove USB stick"

Uconnect Access is a paid subscription service which allows you to download various apps to your phone that will work with your RA3/RA4. These apps provide certain features like the ability to remotely lock and unlock your doors, start the vehicle etc. It also provides access to a wifi hotspot within the vehicle.
RA4 units are Uconnect Access ready, however most vehicles that originally didn't have an RA4 won't have the necessary antenna to access this service. The antenna can be purchased through your dealership or Mopar. The rest of the process involves changing out the factory antenna, and then having your dealer change your build codes to show you have the RA4.
It’s an entirely doable process but sometimes not easily done. The hardest part can be getting your dealer to update the build codes, so that when you call UConnect support to activate it they show you have this unit
If your navigation does not accurately follow you, (a street or two off/not aligned properly) please follow these tips:
•Check the VSS plug which is the brown plug with the green wire.
This may not be getting a good connection.
•Check that the GPS antenna is not covered by any metal.
You can put the antenna on the dash temporarily and drive around a little to prompt the unit to update to your location, then relocate it just below the dash.
If you are still having issues please feel free to reach out to the support department for additional assistance.

If you purchased a RA3 or RA4 for a 2017 Jeep Cherokee and your original radio has the volume knob on the radio, and not on the dash bezel below the radio screen, this radio will not currently work with your vehicle.
We have posted this to our site to help keep anyone from purchasing this unit in error.
We are working on a solution and should have something ready around summer of 2017.
For now we recommend returning the unit for a full refund and checking back with us in the summer.
Thank you, and sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
If you are having any issues with your MyGIG such as frozen screen or black screen but buttons are lit up and/or the radio is still playing, you can try this first:
•Turn off the car and removing keys,
•Open drivers door wait a few seconds
•Close the door and restart the vehicle.
If this does not fix you can try doing a master reset. Below is a video showing how to do this.
Do not attempt a master reset if you purchased "in motion"programming when you ordered your radio.
THIS WILL erase the programming.
*The video states not to attempt if you have latest maps, disregard please, this will not effect latest maps.*
If you own a Challenger and previously had Sports Mode as a feature in your vehicle, and now it is not working after an RA4 install, please contact the support department directly for assistance, or open a ticket.
