MyGIG Fails to Upgrade - Recovery Instructions
So here's what you do if while attempting a MyGIG upgrade it fails and you're unable to open the screen face pressing the open/close button:
1) Disconnect the battery for 5 minutes.
2) Download a working version of the software and re-burn it. Burn at 2x speed as the slower you burn a CD the more reliable the data is. (The burns are better defined on a CD or DVD at lower speeds)
3) Reattach your battery cables and make sure you have power to your radio.
4) Then open the radio's touch screen face. To open the radio face, Pry the top lip of the face of the radio downwards and after it starts moving then press down on the top of the face. Continue lowering the face of the radio until it is completely open.
5) Press the SEEKUP - SEEKDOWN - and NAV hard keys on the radio all at the same time. That should eject your CD/DVD.
6) Insert the 'NEW' copy of the software installation CD.
7) Manually close the face of the radio by pressing it back into its closed position.
8) Check to see if the install restarted. If it did then continue with the install until completion and remove the CD when you see the Update x.xxx to x.xxx screen again.
If the install does not start then continue with the rest of these instructions:
9) Open up your engine hood and go to your fuse box which is located on the right side of the engine compartment, Press in the 2 top tabs on the fuse box and lift up from where the tabs are towards the front of the car to open the fuse box, then pull out fuse # 20 (15 Amp, Blue) which is the fuse for the radio.
10) Wait 20 seconds, Then insert the fuse again.
That should cycle the radio and initiate a reinstall.
11) Reinstall the software.
