  1. Thanks, it was a little different on my RB5 from a 2011 Journey but I found the reset milleage icon and cleared it all. My mistake that I thought it was the previous vehicle's milleage but every time I checked it the total was greater by thenumber of miles my vehicle traveled with out the Navigation being on.
  2. Ghost, I just looked at the raw two screens without the frame or circuits, one from a 300 and one from a Journey, and the wires are not only on different sides but look like they are not the same width. You can look on eBay at them. The best would be to do what Saugie suggested and go to his recommended site. You've been messing with this project too long, buddy.
  3. I never heard of them before. But I went on their site and found some for really cheap. One is about seven miles away (Middleton auto parts) who I called when I was looking and they didn't have one at that time. There are also a few screens for under $ 100 if Ghost doesn't need the bezel.
  4. Ghost, Checked it out and it won't work. You need part 5064993A_ what ever letter design from a 2011 through 2018 Journey they all will fit and work. I found a couple reasonable priced ones on eBay the best price is $ 215 search for auction number 232902253212. It's from a salvage yard in Virginia, call them to make sure the bezel is included but that's the easy route to take. My screen for my 2011 came from a 2017 from Wyoming and it was easy. Hurry because the ones under $ 350 go fast. I just found a better deal auction number 123273639307 is going for $ 175 from a Michigan salvage yard. But again message or call them to make sure the bezel is included.
  5. Ghost, you need part number 5064993AH or any last letters. The 300 screen is upside down. The screens will come from a 2011 to 2017 Journey. I'm not sure if the screen from a charger is the same but check the part number.
  6. The site sounds Asian. Why would they have to download a program on your computer or phone to get the code. Something doesn't sound right and I wouldn't take a chance. Call dealers around you first and if they want to charge more than $ 10 go on Bay. I'll post the seller I used. The eBay seller is verkaufsagentur28-de. He sold 4754 codes and has a 99% positive feedback. For $ 7 it's a good deal.
  7. Saugie53, Of course it does if you don't pay the dealer to upgrade the VIN. Just push the navigation icon, then touch 'view map' and on the right side of the screen, top item, will show the vehicle mileage of the vehicle the radio came from. I've got 61,220 on my vehicle and the radio/nav screen shows 110,460. It goes up every time you drive the vehicle.
  8. I called two dealers around my area and they both wanted $ 150 for the code and over $ 200 to update the VIN to show the screen, radio and climate controls. If you don't update the radio will show the mileage of the vehicle the radio came out of. For $ 200 it don't bother me as long as the radio, navigation and media all work flawlessly and they do ! They both said they would add the sensors and upgrade wiring harness for $ 450 to $ 600. I know I can get the OBD-Genie ACCD from Infotech for $ 200, it will only let the 22c stay where you move it but not control auto temp settings with out the sensor package. But don't worry when you move the temp up or down it works even if it returns to center and shows 22c it still stays hot or cold. I sold my old screen and climate bezel for $ 78 and the radio is listed on eBay. If it sells I'll have about $ 200 invested and I'm very happy.
  9. If you buy the code on eBay all you need is the serial number from the radio, not the VIN. I did it and it took about six hours for them to get the code. It cost me about $ 6.56.
  10. I forgot to mention take down the serial number from on top of the radio, that's all you need to get the code.
  11. I bought a different RB5 radio first and it was damaged but before I got a full refund I paid a company on eBay $7.50 for the anti theft code based on a friends advise and after the radio was repaired the code worked just fine, no problem. In the meanwhile I bought another nav/media RB5 radio on eBay for $ 110 and it works great. Just keep searching on eBay and you will get what you need. Don't worry about the temp showing 22c degrees on the screen. You can still adjust the temp on screen but it will show the 22c reading.
  12. That may be true but HERE.com who authors the gps for Garmin and FCA has a current sale of $ 49 off any product they sell. So FCA must just pocket the extra while other automakers sell their software at the sale price.
  13. Thanks, I really appreciate the in put from your knowledge and experience. I posted on this forum, to get more information. It just doesn't seem right that FCA would charge so much for a navigation upgrade that some other automakers give out for free. You would think they would try to keep customers happy so they will return and buy a new vehicle from them. They wanted $ 200 to upgrade the VIN number to show a different radio, display and climate bezel. My neighbor got the anti theft code and they updated his VIN for free with another brand of vehicle.
  14. I really like the options offered by some of the map programs other than FCA developed by Here.com.
  15. bramfrank, I've been searching for about three weeks and can't find anything reasonable. On eBay the compatible vehicle lists for some upgrades show my 2011 Journey but in the auction it states "make sure your vehicle uses WinCE". Some of them have much more to offer than the HERE.com maps that Chrysler uses. Garmin also said any 2011 or 2012 Chrysler version would work in my Journey and the only difference is the colors on some items. That's why I'd like to know if anyone has upgraded to other than the map programs sold through FCA.
