I recently installed a MyGig in my 07 Caliber and I bought the MyGig off eBay for $605 which included shipping. That's just the mygig, I also had to buy the lockpick adapter which was $285.

All the 05-07 Dakotas are low speed bus, I do recommend the Lockpick adapter as it makes your life MUCH easier, otherwise you would have to figure out which wires are which and fabricate your own harness (Not sure if you would need any additional circuitry). I got my MyGIG off ebay for $100 shipped, lockpick was $285.

You will need to cut the center bezel out more to fit the MyGIG in, otherwise than that it's plug and play with the adapter. Take your time with the bezel and measure it twice, then you won't need to fix it up after the fact like I need to.

What was your famous quotes... "measure twice and cut once, not measure once and cut twice" haha

I bought a bezel from an 09 Caliber because it had a square hole that lined up with the MyGig, and fit on my 07 Caliber perfectly. I saw on the dodge website the 09 Dakota's use a bezel with a square hole also... any idea if a bezel from an 09 will fit on an 06? I'd rather just buy a new one if I knew it would work, if not, I guess I'll cut my existing bezel.
