MyGIG Software Update

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!![Big Grin](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
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 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.

Cylon, The DVD Root directoryshould contain only one folder and one file.. The root DVD directory structure is as follows:
GNDB (Folder)
gnupdate (File)
Fastrat350, Yes there is a new release and it is posted on the unofficial MyGIG site for download.
I don't know how great this software update will be as I am already hearing complaints about it.. Nothing catastrophic but things likeincorrect update from Versionto Version messages, incorrect version showing up in the software version screen after install.. So far that has been the worst of the issues..
I also do not have any bug fix information about the update either.
If you would like to be informed when new software is released on the site please sign upfor the mailing list group on the forums.
