Turns out it was multiple broken wires causing all my issues. The garage fixed it for $90 cad ($68 US). Only problem is one of the pushpins that holds the interior panel in was lost in the process. So I need to find one of them now,

Disconnecting the battery does not default the radio, but rather does what's called a 'reboot'. A factory reset WOULD cause you to lose your settings.
On a second generation radio (2013+) you go into the dealer mode by pressing the driver side temp up and down buttons and the front defrost simultaneously for at least 10 seconds - the dealer menu will appear.
Select the 'restore factory settings' option to restore those and then try re-pairing.

But bluetooth is not 'in' the radio, it is a USB-connected module. I believe that doing a restore will not fix things, but it can't hurt.

Greetings,
 
So I have had the following issue with my 2012 Crew AWD.  So since the day we received the car the radio has done one of the following. When listening to FM Radio, CD, MP3 player or Bluetooth you can hear that the output to the speakers stops for about a second. Some days not at all, some days almost every minute. 
 
At other times the REB radio will freeze all-together. So bad that you have to stop the car, put it in park, turn off the motor, open the door then turn the car back on to get the radio to work. A video of the issue can be found below:
 
I have been told that there is a mysterious update disk by my German dealership, but that they can not obtain the disk to flash the radio due to warranty reasons between European Union and US.  Other possibilities is an issue between the head unit and the AMP.  Not sure what the issue is.  Maybe someone here has had similar experience.
 
 
 
 

Well discussed topic, I apologize.
 
So I own a 2012 AWD Crew purchased through overseas sales. The car is hitting the ~50,000 mile mark.  To this point I have replaced brake components front and back more than once now.  I get the feeling that the 2nd iteration for the front is coming already. Meaning both Rotors and Pads. Not happy. I already have a list of components in an amazon list ready to hit execute. However it only covers the front brakes. The parts are for the upgrade in size from the 2012 Journey brakes to the 2013 13" brakes. Looking to see if anyone has the 2013 Rear Brake part numbers from the same manufacturers listed in the list so that I have matching brake set-up for front and rear with increased stopping power.
 
If someone has a better overall setup for front and back I am all ears.

It has gotten annoying because I do live in Germany, and do have to opportunity to frequently drive at higher speeds on the Autobahn when unrestricted but that same ability is still killing the longevity of my brakes. Not to mention warping the front rotors in 2013.  That was not due to Autobahn speeds but descending a hill in the local area.
 
Thanks for any help in advance.

Well, I finally upgraded my 2014 SXT. I took out the 4.3s and installed the RE2 receiver, the 8.4" screen, the new bezel, and the lower stack. I also installed the factory backup camera as well. The receiver, screen, lower stack, and bezel were pretty straightforward and easy to install. '14 Charger receiver, '13 Journey screen, '14 Journey bezel, and '11? I think, lower stack. I included some pictures below of some things I hadn't seen others include as far as how to remove the trim and whatnot. My wife and I really enjoy the upgrade, makes the interior feel much less "base package" and more complete. I, like others, haven't fixed the temperature controls on the screen but I haven't given up yet. I've talked with guys from my dealer and realized they're not going to be much help as this is the first radio they have even unlocked. Thanks to this forum I had more information than they did. I've talked with Uconnect who did not have info for me, and talked with Dodge corporate and they referred me to a larger dealer in the area but I haven't gotten a hold of them yet.
I played with the controls and found that when I "sync" the temps, the front and back hvac behave as one. That's nice as we have small kids in the back. If the knobs in the back are turned then the sync is broken and the rear acts independently. It also seems that even though the sliders on the climate screen maintain the nefarious "22 degrees" mark, if you slide them up or down it seems to lock that temperature in even though the slider moves back to the middle a few seconds later. The satellite radio still worked fine, so the free subscription apparently didn't get kicked back.
The dealer charged me for 1 hour labor for the combined unlock code and flashing the backup camera. Like I said above, this was the first one they've done. I had all the info they needed (even though they didn't know they needed it) thanks to this forum.
I bought the backup camera from the dealer (they were able to have it the next day). It came with detailed instructions that, at times, were not completely accurate as it was written in 2011. It was pretty involved to install - let's say it's not for the faint of heart. I took some pictures of that process that I've included below as well. You really do have to remove quite a bit of trim and one of the rear seats (If you have the third row). It's definitely doable if you're handy though, and I learned a lot about the car while doing it. I fished the wires a couple of times so that is one thing I would recommend if you're planning on doing it. My wife and I REALLY enjoy having it. The blind spot behind the car is especially bad without the camera if you have a car seat in the third row.
I couldn't figure out how to insert larger pictures....
