Chinese Uconnect 8.4N Language Change Possible?

[larzmaster]

Hi,

I have just signed the contract for a 2015 Dodge Journey JCUV.

It seems that the car was originally produced for the Chinese market - hence the Uconnect can only display English/Chinese.

I've read on the net that there is a way to force the unit to display other languages - but I can't find any details.

 

Any help in this direction would be greatly appreciated.

 

Kind regards,

Lars

the Journey system does not support any type of Chinese characters, at least in the North American versions.

best bet would be to find a dealer with startec or weitec system on a laptop. they can change the region code of the vehicle.

and there is a good chance that the radio will adopt to the new region code and maybe it displays the corresponding languages.

 

for aditional info you can contact "car la carte" in bochum or bertrand in wuppertal. 

 

or ask a local dodge dealer:

Any way to make the Chinese uconnect display RDS or radio text information?

Probably the dealer.

I've since installed a European Uconnect RB4.

Any way to get a software update with the Hardware number instead of the VIN?

 

And is there any way to change the DVD region code myself?

 

Thanks,

Lars

as mentioned above you will need to find a dealer with witec or startec software to change country code of the vehicle.

the radio should then adapt itself and play european region code dvd.

Hi,

Thanks. I've ordered a wiTECH MicroPod 2. I hope that it'll do the magic

One more thing.

Do you guys know how I could get a software update for my Freemont Uconnect in the Journey without having the donor vehicle's VIN?

Here are the details:

 

The radio date code is 3281.

After poking around on the Internet for a while I found reference to your software version - your radio came out of a 2011 vehicle - if someone with a 2011 and the 8.4 inch display and nav provides you with their VIN (you can often find VINs on the web listed with vehicles for sale) you can use that one to look for the latest updates.

The key is that you have a CTP2012 radio

have you  force the unit to display other languages?
