5KF61XZAAB - Premium Bezel
5KN37DX9AA - Highline Bezel
5JH41DX9AC - Lowline Bezel

These are out of the Dakota Parts manual, it doesnt say if they are the woodgrain, nav ready, or aluminum appearing, just the Premium, Highline, and Lowline. I would assume the Premium is the Nav Ready, Highline is the Aluminum, and Lowline is the Woodgrain, although assuming makes and *** outa U and ME. Just guessing though. Hope this helps some!

i would rather go buy the bezel instead of waisting time cutting and figuring out mount holes. i think there is a tweeter store here in vegas. hey altair, that is pretty much what i want to do. but i dont know about the mygig thing. my dads new jeep came with it. its nice but it wouldnt play dvds. is there an addon or some software you got to get for the dvd function?

oh yea does the tweeter store carry the double din install kit or the bezel? or what?

thanks everyone for your help. i cant wait to get a touch screen to compliment my polk db components i just put in.

The mygig is probably blocked the video playback feature, which with some new software upgrades and addons that elminate that, or you arent in park

His mygig should play dvd's in park at least (unless your dealership are jerks and disabled it). I used a MyGIG Lockpick adapter to install mine which includes the MyGIG Lockpick product. It unlocks all the functionality of the MyGIG including watching DVD's while driving if you want to (nice for traffic jams but I don't recommend it for higher speeds ). Coastal Electronics Technology sells it, if he wanted to unlock his he could just buy and install the lockpick product. In the case of the MyGIG unit it attaches to the factory mounting points behind the bezel (very securely I might add) so all that is necessary is cutting the bezel or getting one that fits it to begin with. I was in a hurry when I cut mine so it's not perfect right now but I'm planning to paint it anyway so I'll fix that when I paint.

lghtngblt02,

Did you purchase a parts manual or did you download one. I have the service manual. If you have an electronic copy could you make it available for download?

yea i bet its a "steal"ership lockout. becuase i was in park and pulled the e-brake tryin to say hey dad look what this can do....nothing. but i did read up on the mygig lockpick. looks like a good father's day gift.

so your saying the mounts for the unit themselves are already there? i just need to trim the bezel. all i was really concerned with was mounting....now would a double din touch screen from another company mount up the same as a mygig unit?

Probably not, as a matter of fact you should check the space behind there and make sure a double din will fit before buying one, the plastic is shaped tightly around the radio, when you pull the bezel off you'll see what I mean.

Default Altair: What is that to the left of your cig lighter?

I can't make it out from the picture, but on my truck there is just a little cubby-hole there. I know I've been wishing for a "factory fit" trailer brake controller to go there, so I got excited when I saw what might be one in your picture.
Now that I look at it, it must be something else (but I can still wish!)
