Do you have an RB5 system or the older system? I was able to buy a uconnect navigation map update pack though chryslergroup.navigation.com for like $107.00 shipped. Its for 13-20 RB5 units

Aside from Sirius XM (which contains the GPS Receiver)...

There might be more logistics involved after you install the  radio.

If you're buying a new 'plug-and-play' version, you shouldn't have issues, provided you follow the instructions the seller gives you.

If you're pulling one from a scrap yard, make sure that you get the VIN# of the donor car. maybe take some pictures of the car, it's VIN, and that it's in the scrap yard. Reason: sometimes when the radio is pulled from a donor, the radio will think it is stolen, and will need to be unlocked to work fully. This is a dealership process, and requires 'proof' you didn't steal the radio, and the VIN of the donor to unlock the radio functions. (Disclaimer, I could be totally wrong.)

I just did this upgrade myself. I went the junkyard route, it can save you money but it also can be a nightmare. If your going the junkyard route, like I did I would do like lacrosse said get the VIN and check it to see if it is even a RB5 radio. I know there's been people who've gotten what they though was an RB5 but turned out to be  RE2. As for installation if you already have Sirius XM your good to good because that's how the GPS signals go though, if not make sure you get the antenna. I was able to purchase a unlock code for my radio off a popular auction site, if you get my drift. I was also able to get the Sirius Travel and Traffic link to work thanks to infotainment. They offer a OBD genie that will program you car to show that your car is programmed to have it.I would recommend, if your going the junkyard route going to a reputable junkyard.

Do you have bluetooth or Sirius xm?

After installing CTP13 it had no audio so I contacted infotainment and advised them I reinstalled CTP17 in which it came up as audio Deutsch this time instead of Spanish. So after a out 10 mins of messing around with setting I was able to finally get it to English unbeknownst to me how but I did.

You'll need to get an extractor program to convert .rar to useable files.

 

Are you familiar with a .zip folder?

.rar is very similar to .zip

 

.rar is a  file-compression protocol  designed by a russian programmer (don't let that scare you, it's legit, and safe).  [.rar] is a bit more complex an encryption than .zip, and  takes more effort to decompress than .zip, which also makes it's contents unsearchable. is often the preferred encryption method for sending... let's just say... proprietary, 'but without permission', data over the internet. usually, textbooks for university students, bootleg software which people don't want to pay for, or in this case a firmware for a car that should be only available at the dealership.

You can download a trustworthy .rar converter from cnet, then use it to extract the contents of the .rar

 

Got it to work downloaded winrar from CNET now just need a good copy of CTP17

I wonder whether the update file wasn't for a vehicle manufactured for spanish-speaking markets - this might well be a mistake uconnect would made posting the update files or perhaps in allocating the update file for your VIN.

The version of CTP17 I have for my 2014 works just fine in my vehicle if you'd like me to send a copy to you.

Any chance I can get a copy of that CTP?

I'm having problems getting the ctp13 onto a USB drive can anyone help it says it's a rar file 

I have a set of AVS In Channel front and rear that I will sell for 55 shipped or trade for a set of weather tech in channel

Thank you I was able to obtain a 2013 Dodge Journey RB5 today for $275 from a local part place, Works great and was fairly easy to install, only thing thats not appearing is the more button and travel link but I havent updated the unit yet to the newest software yet. Will be doing that this thursday or friday

Is there a certain year to get for the RB5 module? I'm wanting this for my 2018 journey

Thanks everyone for the welcome its means alot and NavalLacrosse I'm gona attempt the salvage route any advice?

When  you say the 3rd gen RB5 can you give specific years by any chance?

New to the Journey forum here! just picked her up last Thursday with 49k miles on her. Traded in a 2010 GMC Terrain with 137k on the engine. Love it so far not my first dodge though. Looking at upgrading my 8.4 Uconnect non nav to nav, pinstriping and maybe couple more mods

Hi everybody!

New to the forum just got my 18 Journey GT 2 days ago and love it, I'm looking at putting navigation into my journey which has the 8.4 touch screen, Uconnect 3 and backup camera so pretty much everything except the actually navigation unit. I know i will be needing the RB5 module but I didn't know if there are certain years that will only work with my journey. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated
