OMG!! UNDER $300! I all but gave up tryign to find on e on Ebay as most of all the High Speed Navs I saw were between 700-900!!! That's a bit too steep for me when the stock head unit that came with the Jeep really isn't that bad at all! BUT...I mean if I could find one for like 300 or so - that's a deal you can't pass up!!!

I have an '07 Sahara and the 5064400AH works beautifully.

You should be safe if they say RER and high speed can bus. I'll explain further.

There are three MyGIG models in North America:
  • RER - with navigation, with satellite
  • REN - no navigation, with or without satellite
  • REU - with navigation and remote display
MyGIG radios use two different bus systems: low or high speed. These are also known as CAN B and CAN C respectively. You can consider these sub-models, so you can have an RER CAN B and an RER CAN C.

The Wrangler (2007-2008), Liberty (2008), Nitro (2007), et al. fall under the RER CAN C version of the MyGig.

To make things even more complicated there are revisions. I don't know how much these matter, but here is what I can find on compatibility:

2007 Wrangler - AD, AE, AF, or AG
2008 Wrangler - AH, AI

The part numbers in these cases would be:
5064080AD
5064080AE
5064080AF
5064080AG
5064400AH
5064400AI

Nice... I really want to pick up a MyGig, still deciding if I think Nav is worth it, when I already have a Magellen GPS, and a 3G iPhone with GPS (and hopefully soon a Turn by Turn GPS App).... I am thinking of saving the bucks and just getting the Non-Nav one

I wish they wouldn't make it so complicated. I just found one on ebay, a pull from a 2008 Dodge Stow and go Minivan that has model number OEM #P05064245AL for $279. I would buy that one right now but after seeing your post and the part numbers not being listed, I have to pass. It's ridiculous.

More than likely,
Wrangler, Liberty, Nitro, Grand Caravan, Town & Country – High Speed

It will be a high speed?
And that's a great price.
You could probably ask them, they might know?
