Now that we've finished putting the Microsoft Sync system through the grinder, it's time to take a look at the MyGig system featured in a variety of Chrysler vehicles. To simplify, MyGig is a pretty standard infotainment center, but with a "ruggedized" hard drive slapped behind it. Check out the video preview of the MyGig system above and stay tuned for Part 2, in which I slip on my Speedo and dive into the MyGig system like nobody's business.

kidding of course.
@David Thomas: Rabbi Dave, you are not funny. Just sayin'...
But I did change my profile name so I've got that going for me.
I've wondered why these hard drives can be used even in the dead of winter, say when you first climb in your car when it's -23c/10 below. Why no head crashes or uh-oh chirps?
the mygig's LCD screen actually clouded over when I was testing it in -10 weather. the Ford Edge and Mercury sable I tested in similar weather did not. The mygig cleared up in about 30 minutes.
but they all functioned fine.
Wow. If I had a 300C kitted out like that, I'd rarely leave my garage...
@Charles_Barrett: But charles, you have the original, A Mercedes!
I just hope they change the name, it makes me think of "Roots".
The Infotaiment and the Entertainment are way different, Infotaiment comes with Nav, U -Connect and some other goodies, while the Entertainment is just, wel.....entertaining.
you know, the whole thing about these built in infotainment/nav things has me wondering... remember when mobile phones first came out and you could get then in your car (only if you were a baller, of course, and cool with it)? and then 18 months later, it was like, WTF is that in your car as you you looked down at the huge clunky contraption? is it not going to be the same now with these things? there are always going to be better portable units appearing on the market (with all the benefits of being portable!) and your built-in is going to look shitty within a couple of years.
of course, the car and gadget manufacturers don't care - either way you're going to but more often.
@camp6ell: My built-in system looks fine in my 300 and it's been a year this weekend. I guess in 6 months I'll hate it... probably not tho'.
Does the CD player rip cd's to the harddrive?
@DodgeDriver: Yup!
