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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I forgot to mention take down the serial number from on top of the radio, that's all you need to get the code.

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.

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.

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.

I really like the options offered by some of the map programs other than FCA developed by Here.com.

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.

Has anyone updated their GPS maps on a 2011 Journey RB5 radio ? There are many sellers of maps for in dash vehicle radios for under $ 50.00 but they all say make sure your vehicle uses WinCE operating system. Anyone know what that is ?

Journey, if you haven't upgraded and still connect to this forum read this. I upgraded from a standard radio to a multimedia navigation radio in my 2011 Journey by buying one from a salvage yard. If you buy a radio newer than 2012 you will need an anti theft code number. Some dealers charge for the code and some don't. If you don't have the climate bezel with the center button saying auto you will need to buy that also. I paid $ 110 for the one I bought and it works great. Check mopar sales on line for the different model numbers. They will all work in your vehicle from 2011 to 2018. Both Journey and Charger use the same radios.

Did you notice on infotainments web site they said you could request the OBDGenie to be programmed for up to 15 vehicles ? Probably costs more, but ??

Saugie, the kit we installed has a separate button instead of the steering wheel one. but everything else works just like the factory installed unit. He did have to take it in for flashing to his VIN number before it would work. Like I said the hardest part was snaking the mike through to the middle of the windshield. My cheapo unit does about the same thing and the answer button is mounted on the steering column but they do sell a wireless one that mounts on the steering wheel. For my auto climate temperature settings to work I only need the # 55111178AC air temp sensor. The other sensors, sun, ambient temp., humidity and rain sensor will make the setting more accurate but are not mandatory for it to work. This is from someone who works in climate control at FCA Telemetrics. If I do add the sensor I have to either have the dealer upgrade it to my vin or buy the OBDGenie C-ACC unit and flash it myself. both will cost about the same. Bill

I helped my buddy install a Uconnect unit on his Journey similar to mine without the navigation or media radio and everything needed came with the wiring harness with the unit from infotainment.com. It was kind of expensive though. Power comes from the cigarette lighter with a split plug that plugged back into it. The hardest part was getting the wire for the mike up to the rear view mirror. I went the cheap route with a unit that plugs into the lighter from eBay for $ 20.

Saugie, I found out about two sensors that are available at AutoZone, ambient temperature and humidity but what are the other two for ? Thanks, Bill

Thanks Suagie53, The website I looked at only showed one sensor being installed for the auto feature. infotainment.com sells OEM radios and screens with the auto climate bezel. They have a video showing the entire process on YouTube. After everything is installed, except the sensors they plug in the OBDGenie, wait til it turns green and then adjust the slider temps and it works.

There are only two bezels for 2011 through 2018 Journeys. What you need to buy and install is a temperature sensor if you want to be able to set the cabin temp to a certain degree, say 73f, and the vehicle will turn on heat or AC as needed. If you don't want that convenience you need to upgrade the vehicle's can system to use and see the auto movement on screen with an OBDGenie C-ACC unit from Infotainment.com. It's a one time use devise. As for me as long as everything works I won't spend $ 200 for it.

I upgraded from the 4.3 screen and standard radio to a 8.4 screen, navigation multimedia radio and the auto climate bezel. Everything works except when you adjust the temperature on screen it reverts back to show 22 degrees celsius. The temperature settings still work but it always goes back to the middle 22 degrees. Infotainment shows a video and they plug a OBDGenie C-ACC in the obd slot just left & under the steering wheel for about 30 seconds until it's light turns green and that corrects the issue. But the OBDGenie costs $200 for one time use. A dealer can upgrade the climate OBD but I don't know what they charge. If you want you can add a temp. sensor and control the cabin temp. by setting it but it's not mandatory. If you want to prove it's working now just warm up the vehicle, turn on the AC and move the slider on the screen up. You will feel the warm coming through the vents, then move it down and feel the cool air. I did my whole package for $ 320. Cheap eh !
