Default Radio Upgrade

Hello,

I'm new to the forum. I just got a 2011 Dakota (Big Horn) with the basic stock radio. Single CD, No sirius......just an aux plug in for my ipod.

I am wanting to upgrade this to the my gig radio. My question is... Will either one of these work?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chrysler-Dod...35983804200660

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-2011-CH...01563408934423

Which one would be better than the other.



Any other issues I should be concerned with?? (Installation, function)?


Thanks

Wes

The first link will definitely not, that is a high speed bus unit.

The second link should work, it's a low speed bus unit. Only a low speed bus will work in our Dakotas.
Just so you know, it's not simply plug and play, there are more parts that you need to buy to install a mygig unit.
The guys who have made the switch will chime in shortly.

Welcome to DF.

Thanks, I'm glad I found this site.

Also, to those that have done this upgrade.....Is it worth the cost?
Is there a better aftermarket option?

Thanks
