This is not an OEM unit, but made to fit. I debated on getting one of these, but found a myGig for $500.00 on Ebay...

I have not heard anything bad or good, maybe someone else can comment.

caveat emptor

It's not like any OEM radio I've ever seen...looks aftermarket for sure.
Plug & play? Hate to be the first to find out it isn't...

Is this too goo to be true? I was debating on getting a MyGig. My hold ups were that I'd have to mess with my radio bezel and the mounts just to get it to fit, but on top of that, I heard that I'd have to get a handful of accessories to get it to do all I'd want it to.

If this thing delivers and exactly what it says it does, then it'd be perfect. I will see if I can do any research on this to see if there are reviews or anything. If I find something I will let you know, but I'm not too good at that sort of thing, so if you guys wanna take a crack on getting a little history of where this thing came from and if it actually works, please please please let us know.

Couple sites I found had decent reviews. Nothing too wordy and was in regards to China radios in general. What's cool about these radios is they appear to run Windows CE. Which is a fantastic platform for hacking and customizing. Screens are decent size too. I might have to step up myself.

Good find Supra! Crap i'm so close to pulling the trigger now.
Check out this site below. I do believe these guys are one of the main sources for that radio. What's cool about this site is they shine light on just how configurable these radios are with the Windows CE operating system. Backup Radar option, TPMS option, Etc. Now to find the hobby hacking websites that have cracked into this beast. http://www.smartauto24.com/dodge-601...-gps-head-unit

I wouldn't mind the absence of a hard drive; that's what your iPod is for.
