Now I get why it's so expensive to put an aftermarket radio. I have the 4" radio and they told me they needed to reroute the AC controls. Just the install kit costs $500.
Yeah it can get expensive and thats not including the radio. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
When there is a will ,there is a way--and not BIG MONEY usually--research it deep.. I have an 04 SAAB 9-3--no one would touch due to the CAN NETWORK losing functionality (car won't start either!) if radio is removed... A $30.00 bypass solved my issue in part and now enjoy my Kenwood radio... It can be done, but may require extensive research or someone like me who has nerves to deal with the "unknown" in many cases.. lol Worse comes to worse you can always drop the factory stuff back in place and atleast start at the beginning again.. --My forst clue was--There was NO "KIT" available for my car at all---had to customize my own.. But was worth the trouble for sure as I like my big Subwoofers and BIG multi amplifier setups in all my cars... :) Best of luck..
Hi my kids slid coins inside the cd unit, I managed to take some but still doesn’t work, it rejects the cds, what can be done? Thanks, Erik
Its hard to say. I would make sure I got all the coils out by removing the unit and taking it apart the best that you can. Then if it still happens, it will need to be replaced. I have learned that kids will put coins in any slot and any opening if given a chance.....I have seen some odd things like that over the years. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.
Hi great video keep them coming. I have a 14 journey with this same radio I need to replace because the nav no longer works, im looking at some used ones how do I know which ones will work in my car, or will they all work from same year and options ??
I recommend contacting the local dealer with your VIN number and have them get you the part number for your radio and then make sure the replacement radio has the same prt#. Thanks for asking and for watching. Make sure to subscribe
David (2014 Dodge Journey R/T 3.6) when she is running, I have no display, backup camera, traction control, rear defrost,, hvac controls, door locks switch, driver side window controls. But when I shut the engine off, it all comes back. Also, I just did all my lifters and rockers with your help. BCM??? I have no clue, please advise. Thank you!!!
Nice Job of explaining radio GPS replacement/repair. Trying to help my sister with her 2014 Journey. She does not have a GPS at this time. Can one be bought after-market and installed? Seems as though it could be done. Good Job. Keep up the great presentations.
It all depends on what radio she currently has. Some of the larger 8.4 inch touch screen can be upgraded to have the nav feature. It's basically just typing in s special code from the company that makes the radio that you have to pay to get. Otherwise there are versions of that radio that can not be upgraded. First thing I need is the VIN and then I can have my parts department look into it. Currently I am on vacation so it may be a bit before I can. Thanks for the question and make sure to subscribe
Excelente Video. mi journey2013 SE, 8.4 inch , sin nav ni bt, sabes que pasa cuando la pantalla touch deja de funcionar. los 3 controles manuales funcionan (radio, aire y seleccionador) y las botoneras tambien sin problemas. pero no puedo cambiar la direccion de aire ni configuracion. gracias
Quiero que intentes apagar todo. Para ello, retire ambos cables de la batería y toque los extremos de los cables juntos durante unos 2 minutos. A continuación, vuelva a conectar los cables a la batería. A continuación, ver si la radio funciona bien. Si sigue teniendo problemas ... es posible que sea necesario reemplazar la radio.
Hi there. Thanks for the video. So easy to follow. I have a 2013 Dodge Journey and I’ve started getting disk error appearing on the touch screen. The DVD player doesn’t have a disk stuck in it and after I followed your video, I saw nothing in the DVD player. When I tried putting a disk in, it wouldn’t take it. It was like the DVD player wasn’t on or had no power going to it. Any suggestions?
Hi, there. Great video, thanks! My issue is slightly different in that my screen is cracked while the LED is fine - it’s just not adjustable by the touch. I ordered the plastic screen part online. Is it that much more difficult to access that area? Same process with another step, new process? Thanks in advance.
Wish I knew for sure....I have never had the chance to replace the screen portion. I have heard people mention it but never seen it with my own two eyes. I am curious how to do it as well. Sorry I dont have any info at this time.
could you please do a video explaining how to remove the ac vents and panels inside the car? I accidentally popped out the clip on one of the vents in my 2013 and need to get it back in without breaking things
Great Video David... I have a 2015 Dodge Journey that comes with the 8.4 Uconnect and nav and alpine 6 speakers upgrade... well...the sound is not that good...some people sya that the doors speakers are only woofers and I should change for a 3 way speaker but what about the amp? Have you done something about the sound system?
Thank... Tony from Brazil
Just installed a new radio on my 2011 Journey, that I purchased from the dealer, yesterday by following your instructions... Thanks. BUT, my problem is, my screen lights up two-tone blue, instead of the black and red like it should. Is this a bad screen or is the radio defective?
Does it show the correct vehicle brand on the screen? Not Jeep or Chysler?
@@MotorCityMechanic yes, it shows Dodge screen. It looks like a Charger or maybe Challenger screen.
Trying to install recon valve body. Having difficulty removing Stuck valve body oil lines. 2010 dodge Journey. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
I assume its a 62TE trans and your speaking of the 3 metal tubes that go into it on the back side. If so then what I do is use a pier of needle nose pliers and grab each tube one at a time and try wiggling it free or holding it still and moving the valve body until I have all 3 freed. Its a bit of a chore sometimes but eventually I have always gotten then free. I do plan on doing a video on the solenoid pack some time soon which would be the same basic procedure. Thanks for asking and for watching Tom. Make sure to subscribe.
Hi David, just left the dealer and was told $1000 to replace my radio and $200 to install. The screen is flashing and cannot be updated. I want to purchase and install the radio myself, your video instructions are excellent. The dealer told me the radios are VIN specific, because it controls everything from the Bluetooth, AC, back up camera etc. does this mean if I buy it somewhere else I’ll have problems. I have a 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad and the is VIN is ET285281. Thank you
I upgraded the radio on my journey from the 4.2 inch radio to a 8.4 inch screen that i purchse from a salvage yard,, but now its asking me for a anti-theft code which i got from the dealership but its not working. Any suggestions onto what i can do???
Anyone else have issue with the CD player continuously making eject attempts? My 2013 does it on and off, multiple times a day. Wish I knew why or how to stop it...
The only thing I have seen to fix that is replacement of the CD player assembly.
Seems to be an electrical issue tied to the steering wheel controls. When the player makes a reject attempt, the wheel controls become inoperable intermittently. It may happen again 5 or 10 minutes later and the controls activate again. Not a huge inconvenience but very weird and annoying, especially when it happens 10 times in 3 minutes, and then not again for an hour.
@@jonnyvictor87 Very odd in deed. Havent seen that happen so far. Not sure if you would be able to pick it up in the data with a scanner.....as far as monitoring those switches when it happens.
This is happening to my 2014 Dodge Journey and has ever since I bought it 2 years ago. The CD player constantly tries to eject, even when the car is completely off and sitting for hours you can hear it trying to eject and this kills my battery constantly. The wheel controls will stop working intermittently too. I have since bought this part he is installing in the video and going to replace it hopefully it fixes this issue.
Hey, I tried to put the radio/HVAC controls back on the car.. I got the top half to stay, but the bottom half is as if its hanging off and I had everything aligned... WTF
Hey man been watching for a bit now but I have a 2014 Dodge Journey rt and the backup camera just quit on me like it was glitching out at first now now it just says check surroundings and the sensors still work would it be the radio that you removed or the actual cord in the hatch broken ?? What’s your opinion thanks man !!!
Checking back up cameras isnt a simple thing. To be honest there isnt any real way that they have showed use to do it. Usually its one of two things....the radio or the camera, typically the camera from what we have found. I have always argued that they should come up with a test kit for us with some adapters and a camera so that we can isolate the issue. So in the mean time we typically do a good visual inspection of the wiring that we can get easy access to and if okay.....camera is the starting point and then we recheck.
Where would i pick up a cheap Radio for a 2013 dodge Journey??
Hard to say.....I have picked up some in a Chrysler Forum market place....its somewhere you can check other no real cheap places, I know companies that sell them but we arent talking a few hundred dollars either.
try salvage yards as long as "marrying" the components to your car isn't an issue like some of mine made in Sweden.
I have a 2014 Journey RT with the 8.4 screen, fully loaded with everything but Nav. I found a Nav system for a 2013 which also had a 8.4 screen. Can I just install it?
Can you take the radio out and leave it because the CD player part in my 2013 keeps making a noise like it’s wanting to run and it’s killing my battery so can I take it out and the AC and everything still work
The bluetooth on my unit doesn't work, and it's a non-nav 8.4". I initially had thoughts of putting in an Android deck - but it seems like there isn't really any reasonable way of doing that, short of an Android unit specifically designed for the Journey? I have seen a couple of those from China, but I have no idea how well they work either.
There are alot of software updates we do on these radios for different concerns that help this or have no affect. Its an option, that means going to the dealer of course. As far as aftermarket radios.....I get approached from time to time to do reviews on some but never have dealt with any. Thanks for the comment and for watching. Make sure to subscribe.
Subscribed now :) I did do my own software update (just the simple update via USB) - no luck. If I ever decide to bite the bullet, and try a Chinese deck, I'll swing by and let you know how it works.
@@Maplicito Many thanks!
Excellent... Simply Excellent, thank you so much for that information. I have a 2014 Dodge Journey Limited, when I purchased it I was told that I could upgrade it so it would have NAV, lol well to my surprise it can NOT be upgraded not sure why but they said it can't, but they did say my next best option would be get an after-market radio for it that has NAV. So I did that.. oh forgot to mention I could purchase one from the dealer and the cost for just the radio is $3000.00 not including install. I bet you can guess what I said to them, not that when he said I can do after-market. So I have been doing my research and I can buy a little box that gives me NAV and they would do that @ a cost of $1500.00 + Tax of course. I'm not really sure what to do? But my question to you is.. if I would to buy on from like a wreaking yard it would like half the cost of the $1500.00 but would I have to get it unlocked or something like that? I herd all the new radios have anti-theft lock codes and would that cost me extra for doing that? Thanks again for you video I learned a lot from that..Thumbs up.
+Dave the sales department will tell you anything to get you to buy a car so always be aware. What size radio do you currently have in the vehicle?
+MotorCity Mechanic it is an 8.4 the same as the video but with no NAV
Dave email me your VIN and I will check into it. I believe I checked for someone else in the past and it wouldn't allow it. On some models we just have to type in a "code" and then it activates the NAV. Email at david@motorcitymechanic.com and I will get my parts department to check.
+MotorCity Mechanic no problem I can get that for you.
I don't mean to be rude bud I really don't now anything about cars except to drive them and trucks, but you are saying that I can just get a code and enter it and it will come on, right?
+Dave I know on the trucks that you can update to nav on certain radios once you pay the $600.00 for the code. I am not sure on your vehicle. The Vin will tell me more. Like I mentioned just email it to me and I can check. I don't feel lucky about it but will check none the less
Hola, Buenos Días
Tenemos una journey 2014 y la radio satelital ya solo tiene dos estaciones la 184 y cero la cual está en silencio me podrías orientar a que se debe o como solucionar lo , cabe mencionar que todo lo demás funciona bien y la bocina 🔊 clatzon tampoco funciona, ojalá me halla explicado bien... Gracias.
Saludos
Wish you'd of showed where and how to wire up a set of sub woofers on that!
Sorry Randy but being a dealer tech for the last 19 years I dont have any experience with adding sound systems or whats needed to wire in the RCA's or what wiring.component is needed to make all that work. I deal with only stock setups. I get asked that alot, I might need to check into it at some point. Thanks for watching and for your question.
Thank you very much
Hi, I have a Dodge Journey 2013,
I don't have dvd or gps or reversing camera but want them all, do I just change the radio part or do I have to change the screen as well.
+Darren Mitchell morning Darren.....keep in mind that you wont have the gps antenna.....the backup camera....or any of the wiring related to both items. Also you would have to replace both the screen and the module. I don't see how it can be done due to the way the system is set up. I wont say it cant be done but I haven't run across it as of yet as far as me having to do that repair for a customer.
Very good video David!!! I have a question about Journey 2012 Uconnect 8.4 with Radio,BT, no NAV. BT is not working and need to change the BT module. It is possible to change only that module or I need to change all the main radio?
Rivelino Padilla Hello there Rivelino.......you keep mentioning "BT", I assume you are speaking of blue tooth. First thing I would do is see what the software level is and then see if an update is avail. There are a lot of updates for theses radios that address a lot of different concerns. Go thru the screens and try to find the system info screen and look for something like a version 14.01.14 (example). Let me know that version it shows and then let me know the VIN number and I will let you know if there is an update for your radio.
MotorCity Mechanic David, thanks for you prompt answer. In other hand, yes BT is Bluetooth. I check and update the software today (15.04.42) but results still same, BT is not working. It was my last hope to not to have to change module. I check fuses in the interior panel too, and that is OK.
I have a 2015 Dodge Journey and Is the audio amplifier under the passenger seat and how do you take it out and replace it
Yes it is located under the passenger side front seat. The best method is to slide the seat fully forward and then you will have access to the connectors and the amplifier. Removal is simple at that point. Hope this helps and make sure to subscribe
I just brought the 2015 Dodge Journey SE with the basic touch screen radio. If I wanted to replace that radio with one that comes in another Journey with uconnect and Bluetooth is that possible? And if I wanted to add the auto thermostat is that possible too?
Thanks
This is the first time watching one of your videos. Good job, no BS, all useful info, thanks. I do have a question for you. I and currently wanting to install a 2002 Dodge Caravan RB1 radio, (DVD, and NAV), in a 2001 Dodge Caravan that has a RAZ am/fm cassette CD. I have a 22 pin dodge harness and an older dodge gray and black connector to make my own adapter. (Also have the antenna adapter and GPS antenna, NO CD changer will be used) every single wire in my adapter is connected except the PCI connector. I have a schematic that tells me the pci should connect to pin 14 in the 22 pin dodge connector. However, there are 2 separate wires in the pci connector in my dash, a violet and a white. Is pin 14 the correct location for the pci wire, and if so, the violet, or the white? What function does it serve? I thank you, Larry
Tengo un 2013 Dodge Journey con pantalla 8'4 pero no tiene nav. BT. Que tengo que hacer para programar la navegación?
Hay 2 tipos de 8.4 radios. Uno puede agregar navegación y el otro no. Para agregar navegación, debes comprar la actualización de Mopar. Es básicamente un conjunto especial de números y letras que debes ingresar en la radio para activar la navegación. Es diferente para cada vehículo y nunca el mismo conjunto de números / letras. No puedes obtener ese conjunto de números y letras sin pagar por ello. No es barato ... puede costar alrededor de $ 500- $ 600 para activarlo. Gracias por la pregunta y asegúrese de suscribirse
I have a 8.4' but not the navigation, how do I get the navigation on it ??
Thank you for this videos! I have a 2013 Dodge Journey with the 4.3 display. I want to install an aftermarket amplifier and subwoofer. Do you know which wiring harness (wire color) I tap the line converter into for RCA outputs for the amp?
+stockninemm I actually have a lot of people ask me about this and I hate to say it but I never have to deal with aftermarket stereos let alone having to wire one up. It seems it is getting harder and harder each year that goes by. I don't want to give you the wrong info being that its foreign to me so I have to say.....I don't know. I have been OEM for too long and somewhat brain washed at this point. Thanks for the question. Make sure to subscribe
+MotorCity Mechanic I appreciate your response and honesty on this matter. Still are great videos that you are putting out. Keep up the good work.
If I was to install a Subwoofer and Amplifier, would I only need to remove the radio for wiring as you did in the video, or would I need to remove the 8.4" touchscreen as well?
GtzChris To do what your speaking of....you need to remove the radio itself, not the screen. All the wiring you need to access is with the radio. Thanks for watching the video and for commenting. Make sure to subscribe!
Hey. I got a constant draw going on with my Journey.. when I pulled the radio fuse it made it go down by like 1.5 amps. You know of this problem?
And, if I were to disconnect the radio but no more amp draw, is it possible that it may or may not be feeding still off another module, or if the radio is the culprit the total amps will go down
Did you ever find out what was wrong? I’m having the same problem.
@@michaelmckinney9215 yes.. dumbass me didn't leave the ammeter connected for 60 seconds before pulling fuses
That’s probably what I’m doing too, lol. What ended up being the issue?
@@michaelmckinney9215 just me miss reading my meter and doing it all wrong... LOLOL
Ok, I’m thinking mine might be the Bluetooth draining the battery because it’s constantly trying to connect.
excellents videos David all the time !! I have a question,on my brothers 2014 grand cherokee that has pretty much the same stereo that you showing on this video, how do I get the radio code?can you get it with the serial number? for some reason they replace the battery and now the stereo is asking for the code
+Jonathan Carrasco You would either find it somewhere possibly in the pack of info in the glove compartment or you will need for him to call the local dealership and give his personal info so that they can get him the code. Some times you have to remove the unit to get the serial number off of and then enter it to get the code. Make a call to the dealership to see what they can do for you and what proof of ownership you might need to show. Thanks for watching and glad you like the videos
Ok I will do that no problem, for some reason I always seem to get the short end of the stick. Always.
How should I go about adding a subwoofer without a amp... I would like to add it directly to the radio, or the factory amp if I could.
Not sure.....I never get to install aftermarket radios or amps so I am not sure whats the best method to try. We never get jobs/repairs like that at the dealership.
Thanks for the great video. I am installing a backup camera to my 2012 dodge journey. I am trying to remove the gateway but I am having problems with the RF Hub and UCI cables. I tried pushing and pulling on the metal tab that is part of the sleeve around them, but I can't get them to release. Is there a trick to it or something that I'm missing? Thanks in advance for your help.
+Joe Moffo Sorry about the delay Joe.....are you speaking of removing the connector? Just want to clarify to be certain.
+MotorCity Mechanic It was the small black and grey square shaped connectors. I figured it out. I needed to insert a screw driver behind the metal tab and push outward. Thanks for your reply.
Joe Moffo Glad to see that you got it. Thanks again for watching
Hi MotorCity I have a 2013 Dodge Journey RT with the Alpine System and i am trying to upgrade the subwoofer and i am having trouble locating the factory am and a wiring diagram. if at all possible to get me going in the right direction thanks
The amp is located under the front passenger side seat. As far as the wiring diagram....what exactly are you needing, I need specifics so that I can narrow the diagram down. Also....you would need to email me at david@motorcitymechanic.com so that I can attach anything I find to help you.
Where does 2016 dodge journey amplifier located
Could I just replaced the touch screen? Radio works fine but the screen is cracked
If it were you what would b the method you would use this is my first installation i have all the parts i cnt find a grommet and i dont want to mess anything up
I will try to see if I can get my eyes on a Journey this week and see if I see anything obvious that I would use. Make sure to hollar back sometime this week to remind me incase I forget
Great video by the way, my question is I have the 2015 journey with the 4.3 am/fm/cd/sat I want to upgrade to the 8.4 can it be done? If so what do I need to get it done? I don't want the nav I just want the 8.4 touch screen. Do I need to change out the radio or just the 4.3 display?
simpsetposse if you reply back with the VIN number I can check with my parts department to see what is available. I have a feeling the answer will be no but I will check none the less when you send back the VIN. Make sure to subscribe and thanks for the comment as well. Make sure to share and help spread the word
i am long to get swapped over to the 8.4 from the 4.3 I just cant seem to find the parts online....??I found the actual screen but cant find the actual radio/dvd module
+Savanah Paredes I haven't tried to locate any of those parts as of yet. I keep getting asked about the conversion but I haven't ever done one.
Good video! my comment or more like a question is My wife's 2012 journeys 4.3 screen went out,the lighted buttons on the a/c control and the radio buttons flicker. no radio. The control for tha a/c vents deliver air wherever it feels like it.Basicly nothing on te center pannel does what it's supposed to do. Can you tell me what to go after first? Warranty just ran out. Please help. I will suscribe just as soon as I find out how.
Awesome video David! I have 2 questions if you don't mind. I have a 2014 Journey VIN # 3C4PDCBBXET308306. Mine didn't come with NAV and wanted to know if it is capable of such. And my other question, is the factory screen able to be integrated with an aftermarket backup camera? Thanks!
Hey there Nicholas.....it will be Monday before I can get you the answer your wanting. In the meantime enjoy your weekend
Nicholas Ebright checked this morning with my parts department and no....you can not add nav to this version of radio that you have. As far as the aftermarket camera....that I cant not answer due to act that we only use the oem add on equipment when avail. There are some companies on the market that do offer kits to add cameras. Not sure if they have one for your year model but check with www.coastaletech.com/ and see what they offer. I purchased one for my older 2007 Dodge 3500 and love it.
loved the video
I want to upgrade my screen though from 4.3 to 8.4
any suggestions?
+Codi Hemphill That is pretty much the most common question I have gotten so far. I don't have any answers on doing the swap. I will need to sit down and try to do a lot of research and see may be needed. I have heard that some items may not work after the swap. I haven't done one personally but am starting to get a bit curious as well. My parts department says no it cant be done but I have heard of people online having done it.
I saw a video but it a in Spanish, looked simple but can't seem to find where to buy a new 8.4 screen & new NAV radio
+Codi Hemphill I am curious as well. I need to put it on my todo list among other things lol.
Hellow sir,
Is there any video about installation of factory camera on 8.4 screen and the way of activation
+toledoz1985 I don't currently have s video that. It's something I would like to do when I get one in for that natal. Make sure to subscribe so that you get notified
Hi David, your video was great. I have a '13 Journey that has Satellite Radio, Back-up Camera, and 8.4 screen, but no NAV. I have been told that you can't put NAV in this radio. Is that true?
Thomas Wolney Morning Thomas.....if you can, send me your VIN # so that I can check to see if its possible.
MotorCity Mechanic 3C4PDDBG8DT522744
Thomas Wolney Thomas....I will check with my parts department in the morning to see if its possible,
Thomas Wolney I just checked and you have what they call an RA2 radio which will not allow you to activate the nav. Sorry it probably wasn't what you were wanting to hear but then again it cost around $600.00 to activate that nav feature! Ouch. Make sure to subscribe Thomas and thanks for your question
Where's the radio fuse in a 2015 Dodge Durango my 8.4 uconnect shorted out
before I take out my radio out of my 2014 dodge journey...
Have you come across a reason for the USB cable on the dodge journey not to recognize anything plugged into it - cards, ipods, etc even though they follow the spec for formatting etc...
Mine will charge but not recognize - I cannot find the fuse or a way to reset it - does this attach to the back of the radio or another source ...
The cable usually is in multiple pieces/sections. It should go from the media port to the radio eventually. We have a special tester we plug in and different cables to bypass sections to help isolate the issue. That way we can narrow it down to radio....cable sections...or media port.
Do you need to take the negative cable off the battery before doing this.
I have learned that you dont need to. I only do on certain jobs and radios arent one of them. Thanks for the question and make sure to subscribe
MotorCity Mechanic subbed, thanks
Much appreciated!
I have a 2014 charger with the 8.4 screen without nav. I wanted to know if the radio would be able to be upgraded or I would need to replace the whole thing?
Saw your email as well. Feel free to email me the VIN and I will have it checked tomorrow
Ok thanks
I have a 2014 Dodge Journey CrossRoad and I find that the bluetooth doesn't always connect. There are times that the music will play fast and it won't connect properly.
My question to you! Can the radio be hack to allow me the option to use a different system or can I somehow connect my iPhone and display it on the screen like airplay or CarPlay???
I dont know of any way to hack the system. First thing I recommend is having the radio checked to see if there is a software update avail. The update may address the issue your having possibly. Some brands/models of phones work better and some features may not work as well. The other option is using the AUX input using the cord.
Do you have a video explaining on how to remove the actual 8.4 inch touch screen interface?
Hello Juan.....are you talking about the touchscreen portion of the assembly?
Yes.
I haven't had the touch screen off of one yet. Only repair we do at the dealership is replacing the assembly. I have had others say that they cracked the screen but I am not sure where you can get the replacement screens.
I have a broken touch screen that needs to be replaced. If I buy one off the internet, will it work or do I need a code? I have a 2015 journey.
Some will plug and play while others might not. If you get it.....make sure to take pictures of the numbers or anything else you find on it and if it needs a code.....I will try to help you with that as well.
I have the 2016 dodge journey I have only have 4.3 with no back up camera and navigation
would the 8.4 car radio will fit on my journey and where can I get those ?
There is one company that I recommend when it comes to these swaps. They know everything there is to make it happen if its possible and they also sale the needed items. Check with them first. Thanks for the question and make sure to subscribe
ever added a backup camera to a 2013 Journey that wasn't set up with one originally? Wonder if the "factory kit" will just plug in. or if I have to add pins to a plug? OR any ideas on a cheaper route to use the factory 8.4 with backup cam of good quality?
Also--would dodge need to "turn on" the new added camera or is it just plug n play (hear so many conflicting things..) Dodge want's $850.00 to add it.. HAHA!!
I have a 2016 dodge journey se i cant find an empty grommet hole to run my power wire from the battery to the sub can u help me find one
You may need to use a grommet thats used for something else. You can always make a small hole in a grommet on the firewall and pull the wiring thru that way. Thats what I usually do. Some grommets are double sided so you may need to make a hole on both sides and use something like a cloths hanger to help pull/guide the wiring thru the grommet. I dont currently have a Journey in front of me to try and locate an exact one for you to try. Make sure to subscribe and thanks for watching
please tell me, where did you order the new radio from, I need to order one for my journey.
This was from the parts department at the dealership.

Hello There,
I have 2014 journey limited with 8.4" screen and latest radio but don't have nav. I have Sirius XM radio too. Do you think I can buy code and put to have nav.
Answer would be appreciated. Thank you from Canada.
i need to get your VIN and then I can check further. Feel free to email it to me at david@motorcitymechanic.com
Excelente video, tengo una consulta, mi journey 2013 la fabricaron en mexico y quiero obtener el código de la radio para hacer un reset ya que el celular con la radio no se conectan. Como consigo el código de mi radio? Que me sugieren para arreglar la conexión del celular con la radio? Gracias, like y suscripción.
Cuando se trata de problemas de radio y teléfono, el primer paso es ver que hay actualizaciones de software para la radio. Tat sería donde empezaría. En cuanto al código de seguridad de radio .... usted necesita saber el código de serie de la radio y luego hacer que un distribuidor de Dodge use ese código para encontrar el número de seguridad. Gracias por mirar y por la pregunta. Espero que mi inglés al español traducido bien.
Muchas gracias por la respuesta, me sirvio de mucho, l traduccion perfecta, perdon por la tardanza en contestar, sigan adelante con los videos estan exelentes. Like & Sbs.

I have a 2013 dogde journey with te regular radio small screen would you tell me if i could get and aftermarket big scree on my suv???????
+gabriel ruiz I wish I have more info about that but I only deal with the original equipment radios here at the dealership. I haven't had the chance to change a radio to an aftermarket on that vehicle so I wont be able to give you any accurate information about what is avail and what you need to do to make everything work on your vehicle. I do appreciate the question and thanks for watching the videos. Make sure to subscribe
you can go to Metra online and get the kit plus there is a video as to how to make the change
Thanks Daryl for the info. Nothing better then viewers helping viewers. Much appreciated!
I'm having problems with my Bluetooth and satellite radio. Everything else works. Any ideas?
Evening Shawn...the first thing I would do is have the system checked to see if there are any software updates. There are alot of updates for these radios that cover alot of different issues and thats where I would start for sure.
do you know the part number for just the touch screen portion of the radio?
Morning Kenneth. If you email me the VIN of the vehicle I can have my parts department check into and see what they can find for you. Email me at david@motorcitymechanic.com
I have 2013 Dodge Journey that says "Can't unlock maps". I have tried ways around and couldn't unlock map. Dealership says the unit needs to be changed. Could anyone able to solve this problem?
+Dawit Mamo First thing I always recommend is making sure the radio software is up to date. That's the most important step. If you can get me the VIN (you can email it if you wish to david@motorcitymechanic.com) and I will see if any updates show up. There may not be any but its worth a shot. Otherwise there isn't much more you can do other then replacement when issues such as that show up.
i bought a 2014 journey limited loaded touchscreen but it doesnt have navi or any of the apps. how can i get those options?

Would like to know where I can purchase that particular unit. I have emailed you with my vin #. Thank you
I would start with your local dealer and see if they can order what your wanting. The other option is a website that specializes in radios such as this.......they can tell you yes or no if it can be ordered. They deal with alot of radio "swaps" and know the most about them.

Having the same problems with the maps how to you fix it
First step in a radio issue is to have the software level checked and if need be then have it updated. That requires visiting the dealer in order to have that done. Then if you have issues....the radio may need to be replaced. Thanks for asking and for watching. Make sure to subscribe
I did everything and it asked for a code please help
Is that car has a factory amp on it? If it does, where is it?
I got a 2014 journey with a factory alpine sound system and i wold like to know where is the oem amplifier. Thanks
If it has an amp then it shows to be under the passenger front seat bolted to the floor. Hope that helps. Thanks for the question and for watching the video.
You´re completely right! The amp is under the passenger seat. Thanks a lot for your help Dave !!
I wanna change my 4.3 screen to the 8.4 but I keep hearing that I can't change it ??
Evening Juan. I have been told the same thing as well. These radios aren't just radios anymore.....they are basically computer and the wiring and systems in the car are built around them so changing them out isn't possible from what I have seen. Eventually I'm sure someone with a PH.D. will figure it out but I haven't heard otherwise as of yet. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe
I Mazen from Iraq how background such as his command on the Dodge Journey 2014 Thank you
Where is the port for the after market camera
Sorry but there is no port for an aftermarket camera. The factory camera doesnt use the same style cable as your thinking....it mas multiple small wires and looks like any other wire in the radio connector. You may need to check online to find a kit to help you to add that to your radio.
Thank you alot
Your welcome
i have a 2014 dodge journey. i was looking into adding a rearview camera and maybe nav. it has the 8.4 inch display. what is the cost difference to add both of these features?
The best place to go to find out anything about what radio will work or what can be added is the following: www.oemautopartsco.com/collections/all/2014-dodge-journey
Question? So I have a 2012 srt8 charger my screen was working fine intill one day I put the car into reverse and then my back up camera went black. Now my screen starts to come on and off. The screen will work for a bit and then fade white and shut off, and then come back on. music still plays in the background but no image then comes back on and repeats, already checked the fuses and there good. Any recommendations?
Fuses wouldnt play any part in this......what I first recommend doing is having the radio checked to see if there is an update and then having the update performed. Not sure if there is another way to do this other then visiting the dealer. Thanks for asking and make sure to subscribe.
@@MotorCityMechanic so turns out my car is long due for and update, but trying to install the update wont work, on my screen it gives me the option too and when I press it, it starts and then my screen fades to white and it tell me to install update again. Now I'm stuck I eliminated the screen since I have two chargers, might be the actual radio itself since I plugged the screen into my other car and it worked just fine
Hello! Hope not to bother you too much. Did you happen to see my prior cooment?
+Hiram Mendez Hello Hiram.....I haven't and I apologize. I get swamped by questions some days so it can take some time to try and get caught up. I will try when I get a free moment. Thanks
Ok, I have tried moving wires, disconnecting and reconnecting plugs behind the radio and the screen, checked fuses. I'll wait until you can tell me something.
+Hiram Mendez I want you to try something to see if the system will reboot. Disconnect both battery cables at the battery. Then hold the cable ends together for about 2 minutes and then reconnect. This will drain all the capacitors and cause the modules to reboot. Then see if any change. Otherwise you would need a scanner that can access all the modules on the car and see if the radio/telematics gateway is active.
Ok Thank's. I'll let you know what happens.
How can i get out a Cd jam inside?
Only way is to take the unit apart piece by piece....screw by screw. Its not something we do at the dealership so I cant tell you step by step what to do because I have never had the chance.
MotorCity Mechanic do you know, which radio could substitute the original? my DVD is broken and nobody fix it in México.
When it comes to the 8.4........I refer people to a certain website: www.infotainment.com
Plastic trim stick, "Check".
