    Cool. I was watching a video on steps and they had 4 showing and then cans of a graphite finish coat. The local Autozone has the Plastidip on the shelf but none of the graphite.

    My DJ is white and I was thinking maybe do the rims, grill crosshair and mirrors  as an inexpensive and reversible custom project. Not really a big fan of the crosshair grill in general so black it out seems like a win to me for a different look.

    How many cans of Plasti Dip on the rims and I'm assuming you used rattle cans?

    Bingo! I tried all weekend to duplicate it by locking and rushing away and locking and standing next to the door and couldn't get a peep out of it.

    I just went out and did it but remained inside the DJ and got  beeped at every time.

    Since a iPhone can't be opened, I guess I'll never know if the dot turned red!

    That could explain why it does it sometimes and not others. If I am walking away beside the car it could still be detecting the fob. I'll experiment with that and see.

    Thanks!!

    I don't know the science on it. Seems the phone would act similarly to the eyeglass because it was in the same environments too but I never noticed it doing it. Maybe the internals on the phone keep it warm enough.

    I considered one but I live in the south and that cold air blasting the phone and then stepping out into our high humidity didn't seem like a good thing.  We have a month and a half yearly where if you are in the car for 20 minutes or more your eye glasses are going to fog over as soon as you step out.

    Also, unless you are a gecko you are likely taking your eyes off the road to look, you just don't have to go as far to look.

    Sometimes when exiting I hit the armrest door lock before shutting the door and as I'm walking away I get 3 short honks. It doesn't do it every time but its done it enough that set me to wondering.
    I figure its trying to tell me something but I am not fluent in DJ yet.

    Model is 2015 SXT.

    After making a research (including this forum members survey), I found this working the best for me:
    http://www.amazon.com/Sinjimoru-including-Lightning-Charging-Package/dp/B00MLZZ7KA?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
    Minimalistic and clean sight. One issue - they use proprietary charging cable, so you have to decide micro USB or lightning, but not all cords will fit into the bracket. The seller replaced my cord for free, though (I'm not affiliated with the seller).
    Also tried cupholder mounting solution, but switched to the above.

    I got a Koomus Magnetos CD slot holder from Amazon. It has a mount that slips into the CD slot and then a magnetic post/plate to hold the phone itself.  The phone plate is thin enough to slip inside the case without notice at all. It says you can still use the CD player but you have to remove the holder to swap CD's.

    I have the iPhone 6s+ and there was no place to put the phone except rattling around the cup holder. This mount puts the phone right in front of the fan control but its still accessible and the cup holders are free too. Works great when using Goole Maps for a navigation aid. Theres an updated version of the holder for a few $ more that looks good too and might not block the fan control at all.

    I actually don't understand BT not being standard on either display. Just got a 13 SXT with the 8.4 screen w/satellite. No BT, which makes no sense. Can it be added for that unit?
    Thanks.

    About 2 weeks in on my new "to me" Journey SXT.  It found me after 27k miles and was neat as a pin. Color is white which is what I wanted and it has the tan and black interior.
    Its my first Dodge product as I have been a Ford truck owner for about as long as I can remember. My previous Ranger was bumping 325k and was having issues that I couldnt solve so it was time to go. The Journey popped up at the right time as I needed something to pull a small boat and not break the bank. Prices on trucks are through the roof these days. I was looking at settling on a full size truck with over 100k miles for the same money as my DJ so it was an easy choice to go with this. So far its been really nice not having to worry about when this or that part was going to go.

    According to my mechanic the Pentastar is a pretty reliable engine. Its been in production long enough to have all the design kinks worked out and parts are available just about anywhere and literally millions on the road.
    I'm averaging 23+ mpg in daily driving in the foothills and have seen 29.5 mpg on the single road trip I made across some flat delta. Woot!

    All in all I am pretty happy so far.
