Actually that has been a common problem after installing the latest software.. I had a few people tell me that they were able to re-enable that feature in the Engineering menu, and others tell me that it came back after pulling the radio fuse.
I personally was not able to find an option in the Engineering menu.. (But then again I dont have the rear entertainment system installed)
I will let you know when I get a definitive answer to that issue.. In the time being you can try pulling the fuse, checking out the engineering menu, and as a last resort reverting the radio to its defaults in the Engineering menu.

Thanks for the feedback. I hope everyone appreciates your effort, because it has been great. In reading the posts there is alot of information to be had. Thanks again for your effort.
I also have looked at the engineering menu, and nothing comes out and bites you and says "here it is". I've tried resetting the radiuo back to factory defaults, again nothing.
Next step will be, pull the radio fuse, and if that fails, the dreaded "dealership visit".

According to my owners manual and the Chrysler web site, I should be able to play a DVD on my front screen if my vehicle is in park.
Your profile says that you are in Michigan. That is one of the 12 or so states where front seat video is not permitted, even if the vehicle is parked. It says this in the MyGIG manual and lists the states. The Michigan dealers disable the front seat video with their StarScan tool.
You might be able to find a Michigan dealer who will toggle it back on for you. Otherwise, maybe a weekend drive to a neighboring state is in order. Check with the out-of-state dealership first before you make the drive. They might not do it if you have Michigan plates.
The MyGIG Lockpick will enable the front seat video, regardless of what the dealer has done to turn it off.

Cfranz, You are up to date on your radio, Have the latest software installed, and don't need any software updates installed..
Like Jaz_Oz said.. You are trying to use the wrong software update for your radio.

futil,
I burned a new Gracenotes DVD from your server and did a successful update, so that is solved.
Before I did that I checked and surprise, surprise the Address Book was back and intact. I do so love a system that when powered off for 20 or so minutes and powered back on it does something different. Why not just a Reset button?
And yes, Download Phonebook isn't there yet.
Regards,
Jim

Glad your issue is solved.. I actually get upset (Not crying upset but very concerned upset) :) when I hear people having issues with their radio..
I think the reason why there is no reset button is because they never imagined all these problems with the radio/Software updates and they also assumed that a dealer would be handling the updates so it would be no big deal to make the dealer unplug a fuse.
Even though the software updates are now available on the Internet, HB and Chrysler never intended for end users to update their radios. But people are a lot more technically savvy than they once were since the Internet allows everyone to learn about anything they want and become experts on it.. So installing a software update is really not as complicated to an end user anymore as it would have been if they have never touched a computer or done anything remotely technical in the past.
So now we are all MyGIG experts and when the software screws up, it's annoying to not have an easy way to reset the radio.. Something usually only a dealer mechanic would complain about (And be ignored about) in the past.. But luckily HB is listening and are working on a way to make it easier to reset the radio.. I don't know when that will be released but they are considering implementing it.

I'm having two issues with my radio, but I must first give a huge thanks to futil for his website and updates. I was able to update my radio's software to the latest version (including Gracenotes) without a hitch. I was hoping the updated software would enable the "Phonebook Download" command, and take care of the two problems I'm having, but it didn't. Anyway... I'm using an iPod connected through the USB port to the radio.
1. I am not able to use any of the iPod's playlists. They don't show up on the myGig unit. Only "iPod Control". Copying the songs to the HDD enables the Genre, Composer, etc. type playlists, but not the playlists that I created on the iPod.
2. Some of the songs from the iPod are displayed using some random four digit name, plus the ".mp3" tag on the end. The vast majority of song names are correct, but there's about 89 or so that do this. The songs are displayed correctly in iTunes and on the iPod itself, just not on the myGig unit. I have updated the iPod to the latest iPod software. I've updated iTunes as well. As a last ditch effort, I reformatted the iPod, updated the software, then reloaded the iPod. Then I went out to the car, completely deleted all iPod related stuff on the myGig, and started with a fresh try. I'm still getting random four letter song names with the ".mp3" suffix on some songs.
Any one else having this problem? Any suggestions?

Feel free to trounce on this one... I have a question for y'all:
I asked my Dodge dealership if I could get the latest MyGig updates installed there, as the Avenger I bought last week was sitting in the lot for quite some time and had the old version (9.561?). They said that all the updates inCLUding the nav updates happened automatically via sattelite. (...jeesh)
Also, I went to the navteq website for the nav update and my car isn't even listed. I'd ask my dealership, but their people seem to be feeding me disinformation as it is, so I wanted to come to where the truth is ALWAYS spoken!... The Internet! 
Anyone know of a proper course for me to take?

Knightstream:
Welcome to the forum.
Regarding udpates the following web site in my opinion is A+. The web site contains a ton of information regarding mygig and all things connected to mygig. The web site url is:
http://mofv.com/mygig/
The website has been created by user "futil" who is a major contributor to this forum. On this site you can find updates for all the different mygig configurations currently available from Chrysler. Follow the instructions on the site when downloading / unzipping the files and when updating the radio. This should take care of you.
Regarding navteq not having your vehicle listed, this is correct. I believe that at this time they do not have any navigation updates for the Chrysler / Dodge vehicles.
Hope this helps,
Gary

 I also would like to extend my gratitude to Futil for all his efforts and resources. I recently purchased a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee with nav MyGIG and paired my nextel without any issues. Then when i realized that nextel's service, especially on the road, is simply not acceptable, I swithced over to verizon, got the voyager (sick phone) and that's where the pairing stopped. In a quagmire, I searched the web (great help Chrylser, really), and not being that proficient, or being able to phrase my search correctly, i stumbled, i bumbled, and viola, I found this incredible Dodge Forum (I know I drive a Jeep, but once I found this thread, fuggedaboutit!). I d/l the 9.713 update, burned it with Roxio w/o a hitch, put the cd in, and the initial update screen came on, and asked to update (yes or no), but when I pushed the yes button, nothing would happen. I did not realize that the MyGIG was not on. I just turned on the radio and then it worked no problem. In fact, once it restated, I did not get the update from 9.713 to 9.713 screen at the end of installation where one is supposed to choose "No" and then eject the cd. It merely rebooted and went to the radio. I ejected the cd, and the pairing workes perfectly with the voyager. thank you thank you thank you. I also think the screen is now tighter than before (don't remeber the number of my installed version). I am now going to burn the gracenote and leave my two cents to help otheres along the way in case they encounter any similar issues. I believe this is one of the best attributes of these chat boards. Reading about what others have gone through is extremely helpful for others who are not so computer savy. One question if anybody knows: the US nav map update is not up for d/l. Does this mean that b/c of proprietary bullsh*t that we must pay the fee and get it from those nav folks? If anybody knows, it would be greatly appreciated.
I would be remiss for not thanking futil (and goaler) for all their efforts once more. It reminds me of how tapers at grateful dead shows would share tech info and gear for the greater good. Well done boys, well done.
