2007 uses low speed bus
2008 - 2011 uses high speed bus

When you research a MyGig it will state what speed bus it is. Installing it would be plug and play no splicing or messing with wiring harnesses like you would with an aftermarket head unit.

oemautosports helped me put a MyGig in my 07 WK. They have pretty good prices and all the parts you need.

Correction ALL JK's use the HGH SPEED Buss! NONE of them use the LOW SPEED BUSS!

Correct. My fault, I got confused with my WK. All JK's use high speed bus.

Also is there a head unit that I could get a back up camera with too?
My vote for the JVC KW-NT3HDT. It has everything anyone would want! I love mine, likewise the install looks really clean.
