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
