Thinking about buying a Mygig

hislop · **Posted:** Wed Aug 04, 2010 5:19 pm

So i cant find any din and a half stereos anywhere for my 08 liberty and i dont want to buy a 1 din flip out screen so ive been looking on craigslist for mygigs and im seeing them for around $500, my car came with the regular radio so i dont have a satellite antenna but i would buy one. But ive been reading that certain cars take high speed BUS mygigs and low speed BUS ones, can anyone help me out here? is it even worth it?

i think 08 liberty's need the High Speed. You can also find them for $300-400 on ebay. Im also wondering how easily it will install or if it requires serious wiring changes

it truly depends on your system... i know my mygig also connects to the EVIC system... are your going REN or RER?

im pretty sure you wont need an antenna .. i was researching this a while ago was thinking bout getting one.... i believe all libertys came with the the antena built into the base of the mast antenna on the roof... check out this post in the tech section http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=39952... it should be able to answer all of your questions

I wouldn't waist money on a factory radio. :2cents:

The KK fits a double din radio also...

I have a Clarion NX509 installed with an install kit I purchased from Ebay. My only complaint is the FM radio stations don't come in as clear as they used to but then again I don't use them that much and I'm sure if you were in a city you would be fine anyway. Plus I'm sure there is something you can buy to enhance reception but I haven't looked into it.

if your on a budget this company has alot of cheap double din's and i think there decks come stock in some toyota and scion cars.

This thread has really peaked my interest! I was looking at doing a mygig swapout as well, but I hadn't even considered going aftermarket, which is so weird because I've put an aftermarket head unit in EVERY other vehicle I've owned haha. Do you have any pics of that Clarion NX500 installed? I would love to see how it looks, and how easy it was to put in!
