Update: I was able to figure out that this is the drain channel, I need to order a new one. But I found a more bigger problem that is causing a slight leak. My sunroof appears to no longer be calibrated and refuses to open. It opens in Vent mode no issue, and closes no issue. But trying to open, only the passenger side corner drops, I'll hear a quick series of taps that mimic a machine gun sound, then the sunroof stops and waits for you to close it. I can tell the driver side rear corner does not drop like the passenger side does and I believe it has something to do with the black clips that run along the guide. I am posting two photos of the sunroof in Vent mode. You will notice the clip on the driver side is all the way to the front of the guide where it looks like it shouldn't be as it pulled the sunroof a bit forward on the driver side, (little plastic circle) where as the one on the passenger side is not all the way at the front (in the proper position). What would be my best way to correct this issue?

Hello, i have a part of my sunroof that has come loose. This is the part that usually pushes the shade back as you open the roof and prevents you from closing the shade if the roof is open. It is referred as part 4 in the photo, the end piece has a small bump with a hole on the underside but I cannot figure out where it clips back on to the system. It just rattles around when I hit any bumps and because it has come off of where it is supposed to go, it is preventing me from opening my sunroof, i can only open the upward vent option. can someone advise how to reattach this part? I can provide photos or videos if needed. My Journey is a 2016 RT

Well, I was going to mention to remove this post, but I thought let's leave it for others who may experience this exact type of noise. Found the issue: For anyone with a Journey that has the heatshield over the drive shaft near the backseat floor compartments. Give your heatshields a check from time to time. They are fastened into the bottom of these backseat floor compartments underneath your vehicle. Mine decided to come unfastened on both sides so it was resting on the drive shaft and was bouncing around while driving. See attached photo. Thankfully this was not a $300+ repair bill for CV or bearing issues.

I need some advice on what I may have needing to be replaced. I have a noise coming from the rear passenger wheel area. I will try and describe what I hear in detail. When releasing the brakes, it sounds like a very rapid, consistent sounding noise similar to if you left a bolt siting on a metal floorboard. Not quite a grind, not quite a howl, but like a vibration type noise and very noticeable. (note, there is no actual vibration felt). Once you accelerate up towards 35-40km/h, most of this sound goes away or becomes intermittent. As you reach 65-70km/h, the best way to explain the noise is that it sounds like popcorn popping in a pot. Singular or dual noises that are random in sound and audibility. This sound gets more noticeable, but remain like popcorn the faster you go. If I make a right turn at a lower speed where the noise is more consistent and hearable, the sound almost if not does go away for the duration of the turn. Same with a left, but not as much as a right. In reverse, I don't hear it if on the gas, but will notice it a lot less hearable once I take my foot off the gas and let it coast. I was on the ground listening while I had someone else move the vehicle forward and back and noticed it sounds like it is in the rear passenger wheel area, but sounds like it is further back from the wheel along the axle, not out close to the outside of the wheel (if that made sense). Visually, everything looks to be in order, I did notice this a little bit while on the highway, but then the sound began to get more noticeable later the same day. I am thinking possibly a rear bearing??? but I wanted to hear from others who may know or have experienced this.

Testing the leads showed me 3.4 on one, 3.3 on the other. I’ll also try to see if the eraser trick helps. Might have to insulate these things in a holder or something. Or find an aftermarket fob that i can program

I have a 2016 RT with remote start and push button ignition. I've noticed that in winter cold, around -10C that the fob will not work at all. The journey still detects I’m close enough to unlock the door, but using the buttons on the fob will do nothing. this is an issue with BOTH fobs i have. I have also installed brand new batteries, checked that i have nothing interfering with the fobs and it happens anywhere is i leave my fob hang off my belt in cold weather. would an aftermarket fob fix this issue?

lol. I'm hoping not to create any problems. I'm looking at this right now. 1200 Amp would at least give me capacity, and possibly enough run time overnight without needing to be plugged into the car as well. Worst case, I could plug this into the car then plug the Cooler into this device. MotoMaster 1200A Lithium Jump Starter & Power Bank Canadian Tire

I wanted to ask if anyone here has left a small size (10-12 cans) 12V cooler plugged in overnight and not drain the battery? We are going to be camping and will need to have one plugged in overnights. If reference is needed, it is the following cooler: https://www.raneystruckparts.com/roadpro-koolatron-12-volt-18-quart-thermo-electric-cooler-and-warmer/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwg7KJBhDyARIsAHrAXaGy_wXJoHLc0xAGQALfl09ERj5_GsOcI-E2wqUY2--12bk9dsa1o0gaAhUwEALw_wcB Please move if posted in the wrong section

lmao. It's only a popup tent trailer, max GVW of 1750lb, but I like the blindspot mirrors in those and the functionality lol

Hey @bramfrank I just wanted to ask you based on the amount of work you have done on researching the Uconnect system, what is the reason the 4c will not work with the Journey? Would it be a wiring incompatibility issue?

Hello everyone, I have seen all of the different types of attachable tow mirrors that are available, but I am wondering if anyone has seen someone who makes Tow mirrors like what is on the Dodge Ram, but for the Journey. These would be the mirrors that when flat to the vehicle sit horizontal, but can be rotated outward into tow mode. I know these are seen on the trucks but I'm hoping that there is an aftermarket version for the Journey out there somewhere. I am perfectly ok with installing them in place of the OEM ones. Hoping someone can help me out here

UPDATE: So I ordered the map upgrade USB stick from Chrysler.navigation.com and went through the upgrade process. It was an absolute success and my navigation screen is working 100% perfectly now.

I saw this as well. Mind you, between the various reviews you will find on Google of them, and the complaints on the BBB, I would be very careful. I would only trust it if someone came back stating they installed it and it works great. But based on the reviews I have seen so far, it has been nothing but trouble for others. https://www.google.com/search?q=Navtool+Reviews&sxsrf=ALeKk000r95-0-Pw8Kr9GWEcdUQ6iiCxPw%3A1619044734270&source=hp&ei=fqmAYOr4DZm7tAbUwoTwDw&iflsig=AINFCbYAAAAAYIC3jvP4RGKw06Ro28l7E53X6jfaOa-G&oq=Navtool+Reviews&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyAggAOgQIIxAnOgUIABCRAjoLCC4QxwEQrwEQkQI6CAguELEDEIMBOggIABCxAxCDAToFCAAQsQM6CwguELEDEMcBEKMCOgUILhCxAzoICC4QxwEQrwE6BggAEBYQHlCPBlihF2CTGGgAcAB4AIABZYgB6AmSAQQxMy4ymAEAoAEBqgEHZ3dzLXdpeg&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwjqr4nSs5DwAhWZHc0KHVQhAf4Q4dUDCAk&uact=5

Ontario has some very strict laws on Handsfree devices and even the notion of reaching to touch an iphone that is mounted, while technically is legal to do, still has caused some to be pulled over and ticketed anyway under the Drive, Hand-Held Device rule here. Being a CMV driver, I'd rather not take the risk at all and stick to touching a screen if need be that is a part of my vehicle. I'll take a look there and see. Thank you for the information and ideas

Has anyone tried this unit at all and can give a review? DODGE JOURNEY 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 NAVIGATION VIDEO INTERFACE with BUILT-IN HD SMARTPHONE MIRRORING via HDMI (navtool.com)

That's what I thought as well, and like was mentioned before, at least I will have the map data to keep resetting it.

Hello, So I took possession of a 2016 DJ R/T with the 8.4N Garmin Nav. Right now I noticed that it will show major highways around me (like the 401, 427, QEW) But does not show the roads around the highway (Photo attached showing me near a rail track which was showing, but not the road which was Finch) I updated the radio itself from UConnect and then updated the Garmin firmware to 7.09 and then got the dreaded error messages: Cannot Unlock Maps Detailed maps are required for routing. No detailed maps were found on this unit. I notice that the map is moving based on where I am showing GPS is responding, though a little off when on the highway (shows me right beside the highway). I have read throughout this thread about the trials of replacing the entire unit multiple times by many people, then the firmware that should have fixed the issue, and now how simply buying the map upgrade package (the $227 2020 FCA Group - North American Map for Uconnect® 8.4N (RB5 MY 13-18)) will fix this issue and show detailed maps again. Meanwhile my local Chrysler dealership is adamant that the radio needs to be replaced. I wanted to hear back from those here who obviously have had to go through this to see if my dealership is blowing smoke or if I have lucked out and need to find a replacement radio unit. I can provide more details and data on the radio if needed. I am hoping this is a map update thing because right now I have no intention on spending $1550 for a replacement radio through Dodge when they obviously know this has been a big enough problem for many people.

I am a new owner to a 2016 Dodge Journey R/T. I have been doing a fair amount of research on how to achieve some level of Apple CarPlay without needing to take out a second mortgage. I have heard about modules that can be used with your factory system, this would be preferable to keep all the original controls over the various features i have like heated steering and seats. I am seeking the opinion and suggestion of others here on what would be the lowest cost option of adding Apple CarPlay to my Journey. I am not picky on if it has to be wired or wireless, or controlled through an aftermarket module or something like that. Even if i had to replace the head unit to the 8.4AN but if there’s assurances i would not loose any current functionality of my vehicle. I have the Uconnect 8.4n with Garmin CTP16 nav, which right now is not showing streets except for major highways (interstates). The cost to keep the maps updated would be better spent to use Waze or another nav software through CarPlay. thank you all in advance and i am loving this Journey already and it’s only been a few hours with it
