2013-2014 Dodge Journey 8.4 inch radio removal

[@movingtowardcoaching]

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.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Yeah it can get expensive and thats not including the radio. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe

[@Themadscientist1969]

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..

[@erikschneeberger5603]

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

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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 ??

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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

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

[@BollmanRacingTeam]

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?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Does it show the correct vehicle brand on the screen? Not Jeep or Chysler?

[@BollmanRacingTeam]

@@MotorCityMechanic yes, it shows Dodge screen. It looks like a Charger or maybe Challenger screen.

[@SonTran-xi7wx]

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?

[@pablosantanam.9953]

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

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

[@michaelcarminekregler9033]

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.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

[@antonioc5570]

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

[@nucleogenexaffiliate]

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

[@PSNclayon24]

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 !!!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

[@randybullington4492]

Wish you'd of showed where and how to wire up a set of sub woofers on that!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

[@eyeceepop2017]

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

[@joebast8787]

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?

[@rldixon7004]

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.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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

[@adventureoflinkmk2]

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

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 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???

[@riverpadilla]

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?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

[@riverpadilla]

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.

[@howardedwards7060]

Trying to install recon valve body. Having difficulty removing Stuck valve body oil lines. 2010 dodge Journey. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

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!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Hey there Nicholas.....it will be Monday before I can get you the answer your wanting. In the meantime enjoy your weekend

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

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

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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

[@Maplicito]

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.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

+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

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...

[@MotorCityMechanic]

The only thing I have seen to fix that is replacement of the CD player assembly.

[@jonnyvictor87]

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.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

@@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.

[@mommarozzz6584]

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.

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?

[@Dave-jw2nu]

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.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

[@savanahparedes804]

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

[@MotorCityMechanic]

+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.

[@deanopper]

please tell me, where did you order the new radio from, I need to order one for my journey.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

This was from the parts department at the dealership.

[@adamnorris4160]

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.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

[@mikem.northbay6105]

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 ...

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

[@MAESTRODJELEC]

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 ?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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

[@Themadscientist1969]

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!!

[@comandosur79]

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???????

[@MotorCityMechanic]

+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

[@darylwallace2293]

you can go to Metra online and get the kit plus there is a video as to how to make the change

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Thanks Daryl for the info. Nothing better then viewers helping viewers. Much appreciated!

[@dawittamiru6188]

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?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

+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 [e-mail]) 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.

[@sergiocaceres9627]

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.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

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

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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

[@dechamendi]

Is that car has a factory amp on it? If it does, where is it?

[@dechamendi]

I got a 2014 journey with a factory alpine sound system and i wold like to know where is the oem amplifier. Thanks

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

[@dechamendi]

You´re completely right! The amp is under the passenger seat. Thanks a lot for your help Dave !!

[@skwrl22]

I'm having problems with my Bluetooth and satellite radio. Everything else works. Any ideas?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

[@denniswoods4345]

Would like to know where I can purchase that particular unit. I have emailed you with my vin #. Thank you

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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. Here is the link: www.oemautopartsco.com/

[@kennethelie529]

do you know the part number for just the touch screen portion of the radio?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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 [e-mail]

[@thamobb419]

Having the same problems with the maps how to you fix it

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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

[@lglass74]

I did everything and it asked for a code please help

[@hirammendez4052]

Hello! Hope not to bother you too much. Did you happen to see my prior cooment?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

+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

[@hirammendez4052]

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.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

+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.

[@hirammendez4052]

Ok Thank's. I'll let you know what happens.

[@juanjunior1032]

I wanna change my 4.3 screen to the 8.4 but I keep hearing that I can't change it ??

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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

[@toledotoledoz4467]

Where is the port for the after market camera

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

[@toledotoledoz4467]

Thank you alot

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Your welcome

[@naterice482]

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?

[@manuelvalle4305]

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?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

[@manuelvalle4305]

@@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

How can i get out a Cd jam inside?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

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.

[@carlosarroyo1257]

MotorCity Mechanic do you know, which radio could substitute the original? my DVD is broken and nobody fix it in México.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

When it comes to the 8.4........I refer people to a certain website: www.infotainment.com
