The MyGIG radio was introduced back in 2007 with the Jeep Wrangler. The system was ahead of it's time and offered customers a ton of features compared to other "plain Jane" radios introduced by Daimler Chrysler's competitors. Yes, Lexus/Acura/Infinity had some pretty cool radios but Chrysler was the first of the "Big 3" domestic manufacturers to reveal a the high tech touch-screen radio platform. Listed below are the different generations of MyGIG radios manufactured by Harman Becker (HB) and Mitsubishi Electric (ME). Use the data below as food-for-thought, maybe this will give you the confidence to talk-the-talk with your local Chrysler parts department and teach them a thing or two!
Yes, we stock most of the radios you see below!
MyGIG radios run on two different Bus systems, a low-speed computer Bus system (CAN-B) and a high-speed computer Bus system (CAN-C). MyGIG radios designed for a high-speed electrical bus will not work on a vehicle with a low-speed bus, and vice versa.
