got the ipod adapter installed yesterday and so far no major complaints. I installed it at the same time as my Allgig, and the ipod cable seems to work just fine. It even has a nice little tab on the media screen next to the HDD, disc, etc. Tell you what though, it is tough to fit all of the cables from the Allgig in addition to this ipod adapter guy behind the Mygig. i just shoved it all over to the side and it seemed to work out.
the only problem ive run into is my Uconnect (mic installed at same time as all this jazz) is now on the fritz. It worked when i first put it in, but now I just get the "Not Equipped with UConnect" screen when i push the button. Im gonna take it apart and check everything again this weekend, but im hoping it is an easy fix and not a problem caused by piggy-backing the mic off of the ipod adapter, which plugs into both the middle slot and the right one on the back of the Mygig (if you are looking at the back, that is). if the ipod adapter and uconnect turn out to be incompatible, i will be one sad panda.

My wife's 09 van has a Mygig with the Ipod adapter built in. It works pretty well. But as others have said the 09 Mygig is a different piece of hardware from the 07-08 unit. It has an additional connector for the Ipod cable.
I have an 08 Sahara with RER Mygig and Lockpick. I added an Apple Composite AV Cable to the video input that the Lockpick allows since it turns on the VES. The cable is on Apple's site at http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB...mco=MjE0NTAzOA
The Ipod connector comes out at the bottom of the center stack and sits near the parking brake handle. My Iphone normally sits in one of the cup holders or in the slot near the brake handle. Calls come through the blue tooth connection. Music and Video are played using the VES Aux 1 connection but are still controlled on the Iphone.
The cable also has a USB lead to allow it to function as a charger. The USB lead come out at the top of the center stack and plugs into the USB on the front of the Mygig.
