Thanks for answering my questions!
I got the lockpick off eBay, but it's definitely the one on the coastaltech website.

The 09 Caliber I found with the correct bezel did NOT have a mygig. My original bezel was square except for the curved sides for the volume and tuner *****. I'm under the impression all the 09's have a fully square bezel like the one pictured above, but I could be wrong. I hope this helps!

I'll have to look at the wife's 09 when she gets home. I know hers has the standard aluminum looking bezel, but not sure about the opening.

Now that I think of it, the bezel should be the same for all 2009 Calibers as they all use the same size radio no matter what model it is. The MYGIG radio isn't any larger (height and width) than the standard single disc/MP3, or 6-disc/MP3 radio. Its just that where there are buttons on those two radios, there is touch screen space there instead and there aren't any outside ***** like previous Calibers.

I think I'm going to go ahead and do this. I might even be able to get the MYGIG for free from my Dad's Sebring (he hates it!) and just buy him a regular radio with single CD/MP3 (w/SIRIUS built-in), along with u-connect phone. If so, all I'd have to buy is the bezel and the lockpick. Later this year I might get a Caliber SRT-4 and I could just swap the radio it comes with, with the MYGIG.

Whichever model MyGig you go with, just make sure its the "low can bus" version.

You wouldn't happen to know which MYGIG (high or low speed) is in the 2008 Sebring/Avenger would you? And I would assume I could purchase the regular radio that normally goes into a Sebring and the u-connect and SIRIUS would function as it did with the MYGIG yes? I found the regular radio on eBay that goes into the Sebring/Avenger for $175 and it says its with SIRIUS. If that would work just like the MYGIG did as far as the u-connect and SIRIUS radio that would be sweet! I'd rather pay $175 for a radio than $400+.

I just found a MYGIG (low speed) on eBay for $400 (non GPS) and it says its for Sebring and Avenger (among other vehicles). So assume the MYGIG in my dad's Sebring is indeed a low-speed version of the MYGIG.

Most are interchangeable. I upgraded my RAM from the standard REF to the RAQ 6 disc MP3 player and it was a plug and play. The radio that I bought came from a 300C. My U-connect and Sirius work fine.
There was a good radio in our for sale forum not long ago that may work.

Just a little update to my MYGIG install...

After installing the MYGIG, when listening to Sirius satellite the EVIC would display "No Signal." As it turns out, the stock sirius tuner in the back of the car is still connected to the CANBUS. You can either hook up a second sirius antenna to the stock sirius tuner OR you can use a Y splitter on the antenna and run one wire to the Mygig and the second wire to the stock tuner. Now your EVIC will display the sirius channel you are listening too.
