What firmware version is the navigator running?  You can see it while the navigator is starting up - it begins with CTP . . . . . .

 

Is yours a Canadian vehicle?  I ask because if the vehicle's BCM country code is Canada you will get a 'settings' icon rather than 'more' and no access to TraveLink.  Though again, this is version dependent.

It says CTP15, the donor DJ was an Ohio car as what I was reading.  Here is what my radio screen looks like

You won't see traffic unless you have an active subscription for it - it appears on the upper left corner of the map as a colored circle.  TraveLink is accessed through the '+' (more) icon on the lower right side of the screen.  This is detailed in the documentation.

To check your Sirius subscriptions access the dealer menu (You do this by pressing the driver side temperature 'up' and 'down' buttons simultaneously, along with the front defrost button and hold them all for about 10 seconds).  Note that the 'Traffic' entry in that list is NOT for the Garmin traffic service, but for a useless set of Sirius channels where you can select from a list of major cities and an announcer continuously reads out the traffic.  The only indicator that Garmin traffic is active is that colored circle.

I don't have the more icon on my radio, where more should be is the settings icon.  I have also checked and I don't see a colored circle for garmin traffic

So I did the successful swap from an RE2  in my 2014 DJ to RB5 that was pulled out of a 2015 DJ, according to driveuconnect.com the radio should have Sirius Travel Link and Sirius Traffic built in however I have not been able to access them as I dont see them listed anywhere on the radio.  Its not a big deal that they are not working but I figures since they should be there why would I not be able to see them on the radio.  

so would a radio from a 2015 DJ with Nav work?

No.  He can't.  That's for a different radio, the 8.4NA that we don't have in the DJ. 

 

Never had any issues whatsoever with Bluetooth - you must have an iPhone.

And Nav-wise mine has never acted up, though if it does not only do I have a spare, I also know how to fix it.

you are correct about the iphone, its a bit buggy but i manage with it.  still all together a better infotainment system than what I had in the '21 SXT with the 4 inch touch

I have the RE2 radio so it needs to be the RB5 for NAV.  and the bluetooth pairing is a pain in the ass, i dont understand why it has so many issues, but ive learned to deal with it so far lol

i had been looking at a 2015 R/T as well but book value for the 14 limited was better with very similar options, only thing i kind of wish i would have gotten was nav but since it seems to be pretty simple to swap out then I may just wait a little while to do that.  

Just traded my 2012 SXT in and bought a chrysler certified 2014 DJ Limited, got almost everything i wanted in a car and couldnt see paying more for a 2015 or 2016 when the features are the same.  Also went with the lifetime maximum care warranty from Chrysler as well so not sure if i will be getting rid of this DJ any time soon.  Other than going from 17" wheels to 19" in the 2014 is there anything else that would have changed to allow such a smoother ride?
