Not all of them do, not sure about the ones that are compatible with our Dakotas (low speed). I'm sure there is a way to add the sub to it though with an adapter.

I was was thinking about doing a MYGIG install. After researching several Head Units and looking at available options, I decided to installed a Jensen VM9424 Double Din.

Here is a good site for info on the different Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep radios. http://www.wkjeeps.com/MyGIG_parts.htm

There is even a link on how to remove and install a MYGIG.

One note, I have the same OEM radio you do. There is a medal support frame that the OEM radio slides into that supports the back of the radio.

Check the height on the back of the MYGIG to make sure it will slide into the medal support frame. I had to cut out the topmost part of the medal support frame to install my Jensen and this was after several sites said it would fit.

Good Luck
