  1. Hey I might do this how much do they usually go for and what do you think is fair?
  2. So I want to upgrade to the 8.3 nav setup but I don’t know if I need just the screen or the radio cd box player to? Or I read something about the antenna? Like I have an antenna but do I have the right one for nav? and I’m confused cuz I saw a video that had talked about the auto climate button and for the people that just had the off button there was a 130 dollar programmer that you plugged into the obd port (I don’t think that it does anything tho) but most people it’s just plug and play? And I also saw a video that you had to call your dealership and get it unlocked using the vin like it’s so sort of bank account, every time I reasarch stuff I just get more and more confused and for every one it just seems so simple what am I doing wrong and how can I avoid this in the future and how do I solve the radio problem?
  3. thank you i might do this but for some reason i have like 1000 questions about it and it seems so simple but then i jsut get confuesed a lot about this wiring stuff but ill let you know and money is super tight right now and it seems like pay cheacks arent coming in as much as they used to
  4. yeah i was hoping it would work to but idk the 4.3 inch is kinda growing on me but i am still looking around a bit but im not trying to spend money mainly because i think im jsut wanting to spend cuz im bored. it was a good idea tho and i might look into your kit tho i think paying more is the way to go as it will eliminate problems. when i work on cars i always come up with like 1000 questions and it just makes me more confuesed
  5. alr so i got it but its complet dog shit. blue a fuse. works like crap. controls are a mess. somefuntions cut in and out, sounds like shit. but very loud. very well constructed tho but the sofware is ass cheaks. ive never gotten somthing so bad before, came broken and aboslute ass pain to install. messed with the instument cluster arived late as hell. pain to find the right spots to plug into. aboslute booty i think ima just get a good phoen mount and upgrade to the 8.4 apple car play bs and all that from a junk yard do not buy this maybe its just me but it would work right and it was a mess of a software better off ducttapping an kindle fire and tapping a power cable to it that you got used for your local best buy my cat has morefunctionallity than this hunk of junk. absolute usless wast of space this product is.
  6. Yeah I haven’t gotten my yet in mail but I’ll do an update when I get it installed but that’s the only thing I’m a bit worried about is the audio quality but I hope it’s as good or better
  7. Yeah I said something about that kit in this but I thought it wasn’t the best build quality and it looked like shit and it was impractical this kit comes with the climate control box so it works out well For me the whole point of swapping out the screen was to make it look factory and to get rid of the small useless screen and this kit I found does just that it replaces the screen factory style and keep every factory system in use including climate controls
  8. i made a post that you can look at its got a lot of good info
  9. will yall help me make my dodge journey look cool with me? i am very new to this stuff and its super hard to find all the information and i have lots of questions when i install something idk maybe i just overthink this aftermarket parts to much
  10. can i fit 255/75r17 on a stock dodge journey? i need to fit these big off road tires on my dj and i might get wheel spacers
  11. thank you! its a 6 banger! its on stock wheels right now and it has a tiny rust spot but i have so big plans for it. but your right they are disappearing so its so hard to find kits and information about it. it was my grandmas and it has 96k miles on it but i love it a lot accept the wheels. it look like crap with them on so ima get them changed out as fast as i can
  12. So I need help I want to lower my dj in the summer and put my street wheels on but in the winter I want to lift it to be able to put my off-road wheel set on coilovers are the way to go for this for the adjustability I see only one kit but I’m not 100 percent sure it will work even tho it says it does and it’s wayy to expensive i see a lot of dodge caliber coil over kits and they look the same as my stock dodge struts I am wondering if a coil over kit for a dodge caliber will work with a 2012 dodge journey sxt for lowering and lift back to stock ride hight and maybe a inch or 2 more for winter off-road cuz it gets badddd here plesee help me
  13. look at my only post it has so much info that is much needed
  14. hello i would love to know what coilovers these are and how to get them. this looks so sick and i love the stance and the tints. would these work for a 2012 dodge journey and would i be able to lower it in summer and lift the hell out of it in the winter and be able to fit stock tires and and 17 inch rims on it for the winter if they life and or clear?
  15. ALRIGHT so if you are a young kid like me and want to have a nice big fancy touch screen in your car instead of a 4.3 rinky dinky almost useless red brick in the center of your dash then you have stumbled on something that is very very helpful. so i wanted to upgrade my touch screen to something much better so i went online and did some research and it looked really really easy but its not at all. FOR THE LIFE OF ME I COULD NOT FIND ANYONE THAT KNEW HOW TO DO THIS OR A VIDEO HOW TO. so here are the basics. the screen and the climate radio control panel is one system sadly and the radio is a box that sits behind that and send a video cable out to the screen so dodge makes it impossible to replace the screen alone. there is a kit on the internet that is like 400 bucks and moves the controls and adds a screen and keeps the old screen and it looks like shit and is just too much money for a shit piece of plastic. when you take the controls out and the screen out you will the a circle connecter the has 4 pins in it, that is the video jumper cable the black 6 pin connect with 5 wires in it is the power and the cable to the climate control box that sits onto of a bar in the dash THE 40 PIN WITH BLACK WIRE CONNECTER IS THE CLIMATE CONTROL JUMPER CABLE TO THE CONTROLS AND THE SCREEN if you were to remove the screen and radio you would lose some very very essential functions and its not worth it at all. i saw a video where the dude moves the little screen and that is just not practical. i spent 6 months researching everything i can about this and i just got more and more confused. i always saw these "9 inch android screens" and it comes in the correct bezzle and i decided to look into in. i found one on amazon that is 250. a bit more than i would like to spend but its worth it because it comes with the correct cables and harnesses and you don't have to cut into the factory wiring harness. MOST IMPORTANTLY IT COMES WITH A LITTLE "CLIMATE CONTROLE BOX" THAT HAS A 40 PIN SLOT AND A POWER SLOT almost all the other android screens do not come with and that is AN EXTERMLY ESSENTIAL PART. i will link it at the bottom. i have not received it yet but when i do i will make a video on how to install in IN GREAT DETAIL and the pros and cons of it. so lets recap in short you CAN install a radio you pick up from walmart or where ever but you cant remove the factory screen and you cant get a dash kit to make it fit properly and look factory you have to get this android radio kit. and trust me it looks pretty decent and very useful on the amazon site this is the only way that i found and know of that will look nice in the dash and will function properly and keep all the factory systems. i am not 100 percent sure untill i get it tho i will make an update when i do i missed a LOT of details and left a lot of stuff out but this should be enough to help you out and if you have more informations i would love to hear it and if you have a way to make a aftermarket radio work with all the factory systems oh by the way i would not trust aliexpress and crutchfield at all they are weird this is the only touch screen that i could find that works with everything so if you want to risk that by getting a cheaper android dash dodge journey kit then you can this was so frustrating and a pain to find wiring docs and people that know what they are doing but this is the cheapest easiest way to go about this if you read all of that good job your dedicated to learn and do it cheaper and better like me thanks and your welcome
