Well, Altair has one installed. He would be the best to ask. And yes, some do come with Nav.

You need a low-speed unit, otherwise it's no go. You can get them with or without Nav, I went for the one without Nav because I got a lot better deal on it and more of the hard drive is available for music (plus I've heard that the mopar adapter to control an ipod from the MyGig only works with the non nav unit, haven't confirmed that yet though). RER units have navigation, REN units do not, mine is a REN.

According to CoastalETech's page if the radio was taken out of any of the following vehicles (or for those vehicles) it is a low speed unit:
  • 07-08 Sebring
  • 07-08 Avenger
  • 08 300 and 300C
  • 08 Durango
  • 08 Aspen
  • 08 Charger
  • 08 Dakota
  • 08 Grand Cherokee
  • 08 Commander
I used the MyGig Lockpick Adapter from Coastal Electronics Technologies to install mine, the main reason I didn't do a write up is it would basically be nothing more than an advertisement for the adapter, the only part their instructions don't cover is removing the center bezel (very easy, just remove the two screws at the bottom and pull out then disconnect the plugs for the controls) and cutting the center bezel to fit (I recommend measuring twice and cutting once, I got impatient and need to do a bit of fiberglass/bondo work on mine now to make it look perfect).

Here's a link to that adapter: http://coastaletech.com/MYGIG_ADAPTER.htm
