just make sure you know what the connection is from the back of the unit.
Jeeps use Canbus 2 plugs, you may need an adaptor.

I personally do not recommend the MyGig for the navigation, but the other functions are great

[litestorm]

yes I concur...
found another that looks good http://www.vms4x4.com/home

so far the the brash BI6801 is winning

I emailed VMS earlier in the month and apparently they are releasing a unit suitable for the wrangler (ie the correct wiring negating the need for adapters etc) "in the next quarter", "please enquire then"

what about the jeep/garmin trail guide

[litestorm]

yes, im now looking at that one as it does topo maps [hema]

hi, i just had my VMS AVNC 3000 MK2 installed today, it looks great. I needed to get the canbus adaptor and side plates from installer.com, although the euro antenna adaptor i had been told to get did not fit.

[litestorm]

hey some pics if you can....
What does the canbus control ? sideplates ?
what sort of antenna connector does the jeep use ?
