I recently bought a used 2014 Journey SXT with a uConnect 8.4 system installed (don't know if it's 8.4 or 8.4A, not sure how to tell or what the difference is, but it does NOT have navigation). Anyway, I don't like the 18 or so preset text messages that are in the system, and I'd like to be able to change them to something more my own voice. Or, better yet, using voice command and bluetooth, be able to compose any message I like (just like I do when I dictate to my phone in my hand). I've seen several threads on the internet about how to "hack" a uConnect system or to access "secret" or "dealer" menus, but I don't know if any of these will allow it to do what I want. It seems like it should be a simple thing, but the only coding I know is HTML, so I don't want to mess my system up.
Also, as an aside, has anyone gotten it to recognize a 128gb SD card yet? One person on one forum said yes, but not how. Is there something I can do to make it read larger cards? I have a large music collection I'd like to simply leave in there all the time.
Finally (at least for now), can I get it to recognize my phone's GPS and display that on-screen? I don't really want to pay to put a Nav module in the car when it's already on my phone, but there's nowhere convenient to place the phone in visual range while driving to keep a loose eye on the nav in new places....
Thanks for any and all help you can give!
