I am extremely skeptical about buying this used from someone who has pulled it from somewhere. Who knows what damage he has done to it or if it works at all. If I can't afford to buy it new and have it professionally installed I won't do it.

 

paypal and ebay are plenty safe, worst case, if you recieve a devective unit, you will get your funds back, just be out a couple days, but i have never had a terriable transaction, and i spend a lot of money through paypal, actually i dont even go to any stores for anything anymore unless its an emergency

 

agreed. most everything I get anymore, I can usually find cheaper on ebay and using paypal is very safe. I have never been ripped off, intentionally or unintentionally buying stuff through ebay and I've bought a ton of stuff.

 

you could go out and buy a 2 din NAV/DVD unit for cheaper and if you would like i could give you instructions on how to modify your bezel to make it look like it came in the truck, it took me about 5 hours of work and that includes wiring the unit. You do have to be comfortable with using bondo and fibreglass though.

 

ballsout, I might be hitting you up this summer for those instructions. It's a good amount cheaper to buy a 2 din unit and you can get a much better system.

 

i will try and get some pics of it for you, it really wasn't that hard to do it. just takes some ***** to take a dremel to the bezel.

 

When I was 18 I had a 66 bronco that I took an air nibbler to so I could fit some fatter tires on and drilled some holes in the hood for hood pins. First time I've ever done body work. If there's no chance that a screw up could cost you a good amount then you're not going to be putting your best work into it!!

 

Hey Dakota,

This is my thread about it and I did not know the name of the radio at the time but the guys gave me a ton of good info, I just got one for my truck and it will be installed by mid Jan.

my truck is a 07 and it never came with that option that year so I have to modify my bezel but you can buy a Mygig bezel for yours.

The install would take less than an hour to complete from start to finish after you buy the proper bezel and lockpick

I am not sure if you need the lockpick but I think you might still.

If I had an 08, it would be in by now.

Good Luck

 

If you decide to go with an after market GPS/Radio make sure you add a PAC's C2R-CHY4 (Allows aftermarket radio installation in select 2004-up Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles) They range anywhere from $80 to $150 on top of the cost of the GPS/Radio.


Looks like you have 2008/2009, The PAC's C2R-CHY4 is not needed if you install a MyGIG. Stick with a low speed MyGIG unit if you decide to go that route and you will be ok.


Whatever you decide good luck.

 

w/e you decide to do just make sure you take pics and post!
