    I installed LED's in my 2013 and do no have this issue. Maybe 2016 is more sensitive to LED's. Are yours canbus compatible?

     

    Im having the same issues.  Mine were just some cheap ones off Amazon and they were doing the same thing.  No light when unlocking or opening doors, just overall didn't work well at all.  What difference does it make If they are canbus compatible?

    Returned the lights and ordered the same brand 2-sided ones (same ones jkeaton uses I think).  Fingers crossed that everything works

    Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is an hir bulb?  Just a brighter halogen basically?

  4. Got these headlights as a gift, installed easily and they looked great when I turned them on!  Next morning I hop in to go to work, headlights come on without issue. About a minute up the road the passenger side started to flicker and eventually went out.  2-3 mins later the driver side did the same, no headlights at all!

     

    What am i missing here?  If you unplug them for a while and turn the car off, a short while later they work again...for a few minutes then cut out.  Any suggestions?

  5. Got some LED lights off Amazon (Cutequeen brand) and put them all in yesterday. Everything seemed to work great at first. They came on when I pressed the button, opened the doors and turned them on using the dial in the dash. Today however, they won't come on using the dial of when I open the doors, they only come on when I press the button on the light itself. Am I doing something wrong or do I need different lights (possibly that require less voltage to activate)?

    My only guess is that using the dial and opening the doors may push less voltage to the lights than using the button. But I have no idea

  6. All Uconnect would tell me is that Album Art MUST be a JPEG. However, Uconnect will not recognize any art from 2011 on. When I get some time, I'm going to go down the list of all art on my SD card, and write down the ones that are missing. I'll scan in the actual CD cover, and save it as a JPEG, and see if I can replace this art with what is already on WMP. Then I'll erase the SD Card, and copy WMP back on it and see if that solves the missing art issue.

    Doesn't Uconnect use Gracenote? I think it does, and if so, it won't matter how you put the album art on the sd card. If the artwork isn't in the Gracenote database, you'll never have your album art display. At least that's the way it was in the Dart with the 8.4 screen.

  7. Well it turns out there are more albums then I thought that come up as Unknown Artist. Also, when I shuffle all songs I consistently get the same album come up about 5 times out of 20 songs about. Getting the same album come up that much when I have 1700+ songs is insane. This is frustrating! How can a car this new get the shuffle feature so wrong?! Do I just need to invest in an iPod, or are these issues still present using an iPod too?

  8. These stupid new radios only accept a 32GB SD card, so maybe it is the same with the USB Stick. Does the Dart have the same radio as the DJ?

    Are you using iTunes? My SD card runs much better with WMP.

    You may be right, the size of the flash drive might be my issue (64gb). The radio I had in my Dart was the 8.4" and my DJ has the 4.3", so I'm not sure how similar the 2 are on the inside. I just assumed that both systems running with Uconnect would behave the same. I'm going to see if I can dig up a 32gb flash drive and give it a try. I'll report back.

  9. Coming from a Dodge Dart, I used a flash drive that had a fair amount of music on it (~2800 songs). In my 2016 Journey though, I'm having issues getting it to play most of the songs, it's only showing 240 songs when I try to put it on shuffle. Even when I go to play a specific song, most times it won't play at all even though it shows up in the folder. What am I missing here? I figured coming from Uconnect in my Dart to Uconnect in the Journey would be a smooth transition, but it's not going that way with my music. Any help is appreciated!
