Yup, you have to cut the bezel. Also if it's a MyGig make sure it's for a LOW speed CAN-BUS system, not a high speed one. You can find both types in different Chrysler vehicles but the system in our trucks is low speed and you need the matching radio.

Do yourself a favor and pick up an extra 05-07 bezel on Ebay (or elsewhere).
This way you have a stock one to put back if you decide to trade your truck in...or royally screw up cutting out the opening
I found that the **** openings ("ears") are a little too wide for the Mygig. I used plastic weld and filled them in (about 1/8") and then cut out the bezel to size.
Take your time and do not file off too much at a time..

The bezel has been my only hesitation in doing the mygig mod.

good luck with the install these mygigs are awsome, you will love it, and it should plug in, but like said be sure you have a low speed unit and i believe you need a lock pick unit to make it work with the 05-07's, the lock pick is an awsome feature in it's self, something like this

I found that any model paint/plastic paint or Rustoleum any surface(I think that is what it is called) works great. The plastic weld stuff is awesome, much better than epoxy or filler.
The stuff "sticks" and does not come off...I used a modified "nibbler" to enlarge the opening...it stayed stuck even when I used the nibbler! (I know, big deal....but I thought for sure it was gonna pop off..I digress...).
I am going to modify another bezel soon (just bought another off Ebay) and will be selling the one you see in the pictures at some point. I really HATE the location of the 4WD switch....any cup I put on the passenger side will not fit...so I am going to modify a bezel the way I thing it should have been
That is, when I find the time to do it

Is there a way to tell between the high and low speed?
Also what is the purpose of the lock pick?
Thanks Mark
