I think someone has already did the retrofit with the 08 bezel and mygig in the earlier 300c, I will see if I can find the thread.

Yes, If you pull your radio out it has two possible mounting position, It you look how I have it mounted it is in the lower mounting postion. you could mount it in the upper position similar to the non-nav radios are mounted.

Can you take a picture of where you installed the backup camera? How hard was it to install? and it automatically turns on when you are in reverse right?

I think I would go aftermarket if I was to replace my REC. If your going to do all this work you could get so much more bang for the buck aftermarket IMO.


Good job though.

Hi Eugene!
I have 2006 300c HEMI Touring and live in Sweden, and want to know where you got the Mygig unit from? Was it a european unit, or did you buy it on Ebay or something like that? Need to know how to get a unit that can work in a european 300c and make the switch with the aid of picklock from Coastal + the bezel that you mentioned.Anbody else who has any info on this is welcome to answer to.
Regards
MIKE

I was considering aftermarket but I did want the evic dispaly and wasn't really plan having the clock issue . I looked at the aftermarket route and the few I was looking at was going to run 1500-1800 by the time I bought the radio, 3 pac modules, bluetooth module, sirius module and what not. what bummed me off a little about the aftermarket is when I would surf some of the pioneer forums lots of people complained about something(won't even go into issues with new f-series)even though the Z series seemed to get better with time. People seemed to be preety happy with the Kenwoods.

Anyway I had a chance to get a MYGIG for $250 and with the price of the adapter and other pieces I'm in it for a lot less than $1800 plus I have a REC with Nav2go mod and Uconnect with jet harness setup to sell down the road. Keep in mind I wasn't planning on some of the setbacks with the adapter. More so I did it as a good project to test my bezel modding skills and take my mind off work in the evening hours.

Who knows I may still end up with a Kenwood DNX8120 down the road, that is a sweet unit. what we need is a adapter to interface aftermarket units with EVIC, now that would be sweet.

I have used two different cameras in the past, the first(no picture still looking) was camera mounted into the licence plate frame and now I have a camera mounted in between the licence plate lights. Both installs were easy(4 wires total) +12 volts and ground, rca wire from camera to back of the radio and then revervse trigger wire to turn the camera on automatically when you shift to reverse. The reverse wire can be found up front but I found it easier just to run wire to back tail light and tap into wire in the +12 wire in the reverse lamp socket.

So my MyGig system has RCA's on the back of it for me to plug in this kind of camera? Is this a OE Chrysler camera or an aftermarket? Link to it if it's an afermarket too please. Thanks

No, the mygig doesn't have rca's on the back. Since your mygig is installed in 2008 lx you would need to purchase the mygig lockpick, this would give you:

As for the camera, it was pretty inexpensive(under$50 inc. shipping from china) and purchased on ebay, do a search for rear back up camera and you should come across it.
