Hi, I've recently bought 2008 R/T CRD (European diesel model) and all was good when a couple of times this thing happened: I was driving for some period of time, stopped at the shop for 10 minutes, tried to start the car and nothing happened. The car doesn't even attempt to start. All the electronics were working (climate control, radio, windows etc.), but when I turn on the key fob to the last position, most of the electronics shut down for 5-10 seconds and then turns on again and you can try again. This already happened for me 3 times, all of it happened after some time of driving. Never on a cold start. I'm pretty sure it's not the battery. Tried everything: locking/unlocking, steering the wheel, changing the gear on N... Nothing really works. A couple of times it took me ~5-10 minutes to get it work and other time I spent half an hour in a middle of a night :D Fuses should be good because otherwise I wouldn't be able to start but it started after a while. I'm thinking about the relays, but don't know how to check it without buying a new ones and testing. Also, one time I tried to turn the key fob 3 times to the last position and nothing happened, then I just waited a few seconds and the car started itself (without turning to the last position). So it was weird a bit. Any ideas? Thanks.

Any recommendations on buying a good OBD diagnostic tool? I recently moved from Volkswagen to Dodge and the coding/diagnostic is completely different.

Hello, I have Dodge Journey R/T 2008 CRD (European diesel model). I decided to buy OBD bluetooth adapter and see errors, do some coding etc. Bought some cheap OBD mini bluetooth adapter as in photo from local car store, connected to the car, the red light was shining but I couldn't connect to any app. Always timed out. Tried a few different apps both on mobile and desktop and none of them managed to connect. The adapter was found in bluetooth settings and connected to the phone but couldn't manage to make it work with the app. Any ideas why? Maybe it's a problem with the OBD and should I buy different one? Or there could be a problem with the connection. I've read some comments about fuses but couldn't find one (and I think the adapter wouldn't work at all then, or am I wrong?). Thanks guys.

Any chance you changed your head unit and could show us how it looks now? I'm getting my Journey 2009 RT next week, there's a OEM touchscreen at the bottom of a dashboard and a on the top there's a cargo box (1st photo), I like better when the screen is on the top and controls are at the bottom (2nd photo). But I'm thinking buying some android media so I'm thinking how it would look.
