Do you currently own any other vehicles besides the DJ ?
We bought the 2015 DJ SXT Blacktop because my girl wanted an ability to carry 7 people when necessary, and I wasn't interested in paying the premium for a full size SUV, or the fuel bill.
It shares the garage with a 2006 Corvette Z06, a 2002 Lexus GS430, and a 2002 GMC Sierra 3500 dually 4x4.

32GB SD card works great...64GB was too big (exFAT format). Used WMP to rip my gf's CD's directly to the card, plus some content pulled from iTunes. All album art shows up, and the one playlist I created under WMP (just for fun) showed up and played as well.

Thanks for all the replys !!!
The girlfriend wanted the clean look and user interface of the factory NAV, but I think I'm swaying her away from the idea of retrofitting an OEM into the car. Part of the reason for her getting this new car was to get a new car with a factory warranty, replacing her original car which was 5000 miles from having no warranty. Putting in an OEM NAV will require dealer involvement to add the sales code and activate the unit to her VIN, if I understand correctly. I'm not to sure how "friendly" our local service managers are for adding equipment after the fact (that they don't supply) and not trying to invoke some type of void warranty language. I thought the LockPick device was a plug and play install which augments the factory unit, but I'll need to look closer at the installation guide.
Another thing she isn't aware of is the fact that she can't interact with the factory NAV, inputting addresses, while the car is in motion. Map updates are also a hidden cost that many owners get suprised by.
I liked the idea of the LockPick, where she can mirror her Android phone's screen on the main 8.4" screen when running her phone based NAV, and she can use voice commands with the phone to control it.

Thanks for the reply. Given the issues people are having with the OEM NAV, and seeing how many people on this site have tackled adding factory features like backup cameras, auto-headlights, factory radio upgrades (to add NAV), etc. , I thought I would see and read more reviews about the use of this aftermarket part in this community.

Hello all,
My girl just picked up a new 2015 Dodge Journey Blacktop with the 8.4 touch screen with Sirius radio, but without NAV or backup camera.
I'm seeing thru various posting here that owners have been having issues with the factory NAV, some having the OEM unit replaced several times.
Originally, I thought I would source a compatible unit from Ebay and replace her current factory radio, while also adding the backup camera option, but I'm having second thoughts about this because of my perceived high failure rate. I'm not seeing too many people using the LockPick devices with this automobile, which would allow her phone screen to be mirrored on the 8.4 screen and she could use her phone NAV applications. It also gives additional options for adding cameras beyond just the backup camera.
Is there a reason this device is not used more frequently for Dodge Journey's ?
Thank for any input on this.

LOL...yep. I had a black 1992 Z28 vert, 305 TPI , 700R4, and tan leather.
She's long gone now.
