Hey guys/gals,

So... long story short, I broke the LCD ribbon cable :facepalm26 conductor I think) that connects the LCD touchscreen to the main board on my MyGIG REN (2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee).

I've looked high and low through Google, can't seem to find any spare parts like this. ullhair: Short of buying an ENTIRE used unit ($250-400) off of ebay and taking it's ribbon cable, I don't have any prospects of fixing this problem. Repairing the cable is out of the question (lots of time, lack of optical equipment, questionable reliability...)

Anyone have any ideas/parts sources?

Welcome to Allpar. The MyGig is made for Chrysler by Becker. An authorized Becker service center might be able to help you. I am unfamiliar with their customer service/parts ordering policy. Get any numbers together that might help with the identification and ordering process.

You might try United Radio also. They handle the work for our local Chrysler dealers:

There might be a generic answer at some of these electronic surplus parts sources like Mouser or Hosfelt if ribbon conductor width and spacing can be matched.

Good Luck to you.
