Default 08 Radio ?

Has anyone who's been in the 2008 Dakota seen the new awesome radio they have? Do you think they could be interchangable?! I have the premium audio in my truck with sirius capabilities and UConnect as well, would that make my truck capable of taking the new radio?

it's on the dodge website, under the photos of the 08 dakota. Just look in interior. I'm looking more for dimensions actually. The one they show in the pics is the low model, the one I'm looking at has GPS, 20gb mp3 player, sirius, and u-connect in it.

Sounds like MyGIG...

Edit: http://www.dodge.com/en/2008/dakota/.../infotainment/
Yeah, it's MyGIG. Been out for some of the other Dodges for awhile, I was never sure if that would work in ours or not. I'm pretty sure the fit isn't an issue, you can cut the center bezel a little. Only thing is they need to interface with the CAN-BUS system to work, I would assume they could interface with ours but I never got a solid answer on that...

The radio works on some 07 Models..I spoke with a guy who is trying to make a "universal" adaptor of sorts to allow it to work in our trucks. I asked him to inform me when he gets it done and in turn will let everyone here know where to get it
