Hey everyone,

I am about to submit my Beta findings to Harman Becker. I wanted to know what additional features you would like to see in future software releases and I will submit a request to HB asking them to add those features to the radio software.

Currently on my list I have:

1) Add a pause and a stop button to the HDD and JB menu between the fast forward and rewindon screen buttons so that music can be stopped instead of having the music play indefinitely without any way of stopping playback.
2) Ability to rename songs and move songs to different playlists within My Files
3) Enhance USB port to allow a wider range of devices such as a large removable USB hard drive.
4) Ability to change the song playback order instead of having the radio play back in alphabetical or shuffle order only.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated and will probably be implemented with future releases.. so please let me know what you all would like to see as enhancements to the software.

Update: Actually I just submitted the beta form but I will include a feature request form later which will include this wish list. I was going to wait but I would like them to finish up on the beta testing and actually release the software asap so I just sent the form in. I also requested an ETA on the official software release.

Thanks,

Futil

 

I think your #4 covers this but am not entirely sure... When ripping songs from a CD they appear in track order from the CD, from a USB device they do not. Thats a huge issue.
They need to make the "Live traffic" feature useful. I have never gotten one useful bit of info from it, and thats a big reason I wanted this car/Mygig. It needs more updates/functionality.
Should be a way through the "record a trail" feature for the car to "learn" about new roads. The on/off ramp to the highway closest to my house is not on the map (even though it has been there for at least 3-4 years) and the Nav always thinks I'm offroading.

I will try to think of anything else.

 

Here's a biggie for me...

Support for actual .m3u (or other format) PLAYLISTS instead of this whole "a folder is a playlist"junk. On any other MP3 player I can use playlists that just reference copies of mp3s already on the player instead of having to several copies of a song if I include it in multiple playlists.

I'm sure I can think of others as well but I thought I'd post that while it was on my mind

 

What about streaming music directly from a USB key instead of having to copy everything. I have a 32Gb USB key that I store my tunes on so I can play them at home and at work without having to have mutiple coppies. Would be very nice to just stuff that in the USB port on the radio and be able to play from it directly as if it was a CD.

 

Good call nightshade.

I also thought of another thing that's been bugging me about MyGig... The random feature is just... well... too random. Most players' random feature will play songs at random, but will not repeat a song until it's played everything on the list. I noticed the Mygig's random feature sometimes plays the same song 2, 3, sometimes 4 times before another is played once. Also, it would be nice if the random button was near the play, fast forward, rewing buttons instead of on the main menu and/or would keep its on/off setting when you changed albums/playlist/etc. instead of having to go in and click random again

 

How about being able to turn off that STUPID! NAV guidance prompt voice indefinately?

I find that very irritating that you have to turn her off every single timeyou input a new destination.

Alright, well thats my beef haha. Everyone elses comments seem to be ligit.

Peace and happiness everyone.

I have one, and I have already spoke to HB about it..... Make the MyGig do what is stated in the manual in regards to the bluetooth status icons. They (HB) acknowledged that the lack of status icons was an oversight on someone's part, and that Chrysler has choosen not to address the issue. I was told that the MyGig should send the staus signal(CAN) out to the EVIC, and that this wasn't done. I am not sure what happens if you don't have EVIC. I don't understand why the MyGig can't have some types of icons....as simple as a signal strength indication when the devices are connected. Once activated then the other icons could be displayed.....


That status icons would be battery strength, signal strength, (according to the manual, even mail/SMS icons). Here's a basic one, some indication that the two devices(MyGig) and Phone are even connected!


It's happened to me once or twice where the devices didn't connect, but I didn't know until I tried a call. Upon occasion I would have to power the radio off/on, to get the bluetooth to connect! Quite a pain, when there is an incomming call and you didn't know the devices weren't connected!

 

I agree with all of those completely!
How about some ability to change the look (colors, font, etc.). My $20 phone has at least 6 different "moods".
Also, when you want to use the screen saver, you should be able to w/o jumping to the menu. There should just be a "hot button" always on screen.
