2011-2020 Dodge Journey - 4" to 8.4" Factory GPS Navigation Upgrade - Easy Plug & Play Install!

[@joannetalebian2505]

You make it look so easy. Are you a specialist in this field.

[@Infotainment_nav]

Yes this is all we do. We make these videos to show how easy our custom harnessing can be. We can help upgrade your vehicle with all OEM equipment while ensureing the install does not involve cutting or splicing wires and is extremely easy to do yourself.

[@MaddyPrince-g3b]

I'm amazed that you still answer on a 6 year old video. This was incredibly informative. I currently have Bluetooth in my 2014 Dodge Journey, so I don't need to worry about that I hope, but I am curious if there are more up to date or modern screen options for my car? I'm looking to upgrade my screen and temp controls / etc. If not factory, even non-factory is fine with me. We are long past warranty. I would appreciate any advice you can offer :)

[@Infotainment_nav]

I wish we did. Unfortuntely it seems as if Mopar gave up on the Journey as they never produced a newer unit for those vehicles after this RB5 RE2 generation. If they develop another radio there is a good chance we can work out a retrofit but until that point our options for the Journey are quite limited.

[@mcgusto82]

I did this upgrade about 11 years ago and the climate control has been a sore spot. I lost rear controls, (on the screen) and temp can only be controlled from bottom buttons. Would the programmer that’s available require I change any additional parts? How would it know inside temp and stuff?

did you get it figured out?

[@Bryang0405]

Thank you very much for getting back to me

[@Infotainment_nav]

No problem at all!

[@Lucylurox]

Instead of buying that obdII thing for the climate control, can I use a normal obdII scanner that a mechanic would have? The ones that scan for codes and what not?

[@Infotainment_nav]

Our programmer is used to access the BCM and add the ACC code to the vehicle. If you have access to Alpha OBD or a similar service then you may be able to program this yourself.

[@Lucylurox]

@@Infotainment_nav I went ahead and purchased your programmer, thanks. one more question. So I did the upgrade from the 4in screen to the 8.4 on my dodge journey. I used the same wiring harness that was used on my 4in screen. Should I have used the harness that came with the 8.4? Does it make a difference?

[@toothpick3874]

i have a 2012 dodge journey se and the screen is broken and i found a 8.4 screen but its from a 2015 dodge journey. Will it still work?

[@Infotainment_nav]

The Journey uses the same screen from 11-20 so replacing the screen from one in a 15 should be an option. As long as it does not involve the RB5 module which requires programming you should be good.

How do I update the navigation on the 2015 Journey with 8 inch screen?

[@Infotainment_nav]

If you already have the 8.4" screen then you want to select the top drop down menu on this link.

We do ship internationally but it will incur a shipping fee. Let us know if you would like to move forward on anything.

[@dragonstorm8171]

I've got a 2018 Journey Crossroad with the 8 inch screen (without navigation). I recently broke the screen, so i ordered another used one off of ebay. Little did i realize it was the version WITH navigation. Is this gonna cause any issues when i install it? Also, I had seen a few videos talking about programming the unit using the serial numbers on the radio, and having to call the dealership for more codes. Is this correct? Would i be better off just taking it to the dearship and having them install it?

[@Infotainment_nav]

Dealership may not want to touch it as they tend to not be very helpful with this type of replacement but it is worth a shot. Programming for FCA is more after the install when the radio communicates with the BCM during the acclimation period. It should not cause significant issues other then the Nav not working unless you have the OEM XM antenna which is a dual GPS/XM antenna.

[@Infotainment_nav]

So If you are upgrading from the 4.2-inch system to either of our 8.4-inch systems you must have the AUTO button on your climate control panel. If you do not have the AUTO button you will need to purchase a separate programmer in order to enable the feature. See our OBD Genie C-ACC Programmer. (Please note: After programming, there is a 30% chance you will also need to replace your climate control module with one of the following part #: Part Number: 68263758AB infotainment.com/shop/interior-accessories/obd-genie-programmers/dodge-auto-climate-control-programmer-c-acc/

We do offer a repair service for this unit. However, if you're experiencing the "Can't Unlock Maps" error message, that will still persist post repair, but you will have the detailed maps data. That message kind of turns into an "accept screen" once per drive cycle after repair. infotainment.com/shop/services/repair-service/repair-service-fca-uconnect-re2-or-rb5-telematics-gateway-module-radio-4/ Alternatively, you'd be replacing the radio unit which is the CD player box to this system.

So I took a 2016 Dodge journey 8 inch screen from.a junkyard and put it in my 2014. Only problem is I didn't know we were supposed to take the a/c control panel and cd player. If I go back and get the rest of the equipment at the junkyard, from that same vehicle I got it from...will it work in my 2014 Dodge journey? Also how much do you rear camera kits cost?

[@Infotainment_nav]

That is not something we recommend at this time.

Do you have to get a new cd player?

That's correct. For the 2011-2020 Dodge Journey, the radio is actually the CD player unit. So to get navigation or to go to a bigger screen, the CD player must be changed out.

Is there a difference between a 2012 uconnect and a 2017 uconnect? the one i have is kinda bad when it comes to quality and when i have my phone plugged into the usb port, it doesnt show what songs are playing or anything like that.

[@Infotainment_nav]

There was a slight change in the 2013-2014 models that continued to 2020 (despite part number changes each year), but it was negligible. Essentially the GARMIN mapping interface changed a bit, such as the icons in the menu had changed visually, but operated the same and were named the same. This radio system did not have Uconnect online services for over the air updates, so if the dealership or yourself have not updated the software, then the software could be really out of date and might result in the radio not seeing track data. You can try checking www.driveuconnect.com click Support, and then Software Updates. Then punch your VIN in the search bar and see if there's any available for you to download.
