its not the 250 for the lockpik it is 338. total for both the unit and camera.. But it is the info that i have heard from a person on this blog that he cant get the lockpik unit and camera to work right and has been trying to get them to help him or return the unit. Would spend the money with no problems if i knew that the camera and unit sold by them worked great with clear vidio.Since he is the only one that i have heard from and hes not happy with them not sure i want to take a chance on a no return policey thur the mail

i have a 2011 with the 8 inch screen and have been wanting to add the back up camera as well,dealers cant do it,and i found a custom audio store that my son has used and they are top notch that said they can add it using my 8 inch screen and it would be just like factory installed.750. <U.S.>and gives a 1yr warranty. i asked him if he used costal techs lockpic and he said no,because he has too much problems with their product.i dont want to spend 750. to have it done but that has been the lowest bid i have found that uses the the radio that comes with our built in screens. i havent found anyone on this blog that has installed one that has like the add cameras. the one guy i talked to said his lockpic was interferring with his factory installed back up camera. also there is no return on the lockpic if you cant get it to work right at least that is what they told me when i called coastal about 3 months ago.

lubircation on brakes? unless he is talking about the caliper pins needing lube, sounds like alot of bull to me, also brakes shouldnt have to be checked ay 20 k unless you are having problems so that shouldnt have voided any warrenty .now if you were having problems like shudder from warped rotors or a caliper hanging and not releasing that could be the cause of the oversteering by pulling the journey to one side or the other.i would take it back to a different dealer show him the paperwork from the other dealer and have him check it out and if it is the brakes or maybee a bearing problem. good luckP.S. any of these conditions would create a screeching noise that would only get worse

congrats on your new car,all cars need to be worked on at some time. the brakes do seem to be the weak link on the journeys,i have a 2011 with 15 k so far and at 10k the dealer had to turn the front rotors which i wasnt to happy with but so far that is all so when i need to have my brakes done again that is not covered i will do it myself. it is not that hard and ill use aftermarket parts to do it. hope you many miles of happy driving,and stay out of the ditches. P.S. find a good job as you got anthother 30 yrs. or so to go LOL

you have to understand that years ago most wireing harness were built to handle all options, but now days with the auto makers trying to cut cost to keep prices lower actual have many different wireing harness and if you dont order the rear camera then they dont add them wires to the harness same .as many other options. now that doesnt mean the dealer cant put the auto lights in but that would probaly be twice what you would want to pay. The dealer knows this and unless he makes enough $$ it is not worth the trouble to price it out for you.My 2011 mainstreet came with the 8.4 screen but no back up camera and i have been to 2 dealership trying to see if they would install it, but both said they cant and want to sell me a system with the rear camera shoeing thur the rear view mirrow, which i dont wont but i have found a after market installer that said he can do it but the cost would be 750.00 to do it. he said it would use the 8.4 screen just like it come from the factory. the difference is he has to use aftermarket parts the the dealer cant use and it might void my warrenty thus the reason the dealer wont do it,i know i could use the lockpic that has been discussed on this forum but have read some post about costal tech quality and havent decided to try their product and was kind of hoping some one who has added the camera to their car would post their view on what it was like to run the cable from the hatch to the front and what the quality of the vidieo is.sorry about my spelling but i dont see a spell check on this page. too old to learn on how to use this new computer/

the hole might be there but the nutsert that provides the threads would most likely not be there and would have to be installed by the dealer, i would check with the dealership before trying to do it yourself.

.......................found this on a different web site and it is true. turn on the drl thur the 8.4 screen then start your car and put the car in gear then have someone look at the lights and they will be on. but only when the car is in foward or reverse. when it is in park mode the drl will be off. i checked mine just now and this is 100 percent true. i have a 2011 mainstreet journey

my daughter had a wrangler x think it was a 2008 and it had had a fuel problem of not filling up good and kicking gas back out of the fuel hole, just before she got rid of it Jeep did a recall on the gas tank by replacing the tanks , so you might want to check with the dealership on that also you dont have to be the oringnal owner for the recall.....

my 2011 mainstreet came with the drl lights activated when i picked it up. maybee i was just lucky but i like them.

just seen this topic on the internet dodge forum trucks. have been wanting to get one so i could add the back up camera but was wanting to hear from some one that had done it and how good the screen looked after installing it. the artical i am posting does not bode to good for the lock pick ,dont think i will try it now. I have a 2009 Dodge Ram with the MYGIG. I purchased a Lockpick for it and have experienced the same audio dropouts that others here have. I emailed support@coastaletech.com and Carlos called me back. He told me he was unaware of any audio dropout issues so I emailed him a link to this thread so he could see that others even mentioned they talked to Carlos about this problem. I asked for him to send me a new one and I would send mine back so they could see the problem. He said the best he could do was to try to troubleshoot it over the phone so I called the company at 1 800-507-2234 and talked to Brent. He was not willing to do anything for me even after I explained to him that I have been having this problem since day 1. Obviously, I'm not the only one to be having audio dropout issues so they are not being truthful when saying they know nothing about this problem. Also, they are not helpful at all when you have a problem, they simply say they are unaware of the issue. Not a company I would recommend buying anything from based on the way I have been treated and others here have been treated. BUYER BEWARE WHEN DEALING WITH COASTAL TECH!

L O L. love it. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

just remember that most people talk about their problems with their cars more than owners that are happy with them, and all cars have their own problems. one thing cars are becoming so advance with their bells and whistles and small computers in them,that their are so many more things to go wrong with them. hope they figure tour problem out with your journey and have many more of happy miles.

if a code registered it would be under messages on the evic. you could take it to a auto parts store like auto zone or advance auto they could check it with their meter they use to do it for free.

did you add the rear camera with your lockpic have been wanting to add one but wanted to hear from someone that already installed one. would love to hear if it is as good as the factory installed rear camera. seems like running the wire from the camera to the radio would be the hard part. thanks

sorry if this this makes you mad but if you have been changing your moblie 1 syn. oil every 3,000 miles you have beeen wasting your money as it will be good for alot more miles than that what you should be using is a better oil filter at least. you could go at least 8 to 10 k on any syn. oil change under regular driving conditions as syn. oil does NOT break down as reg oil does but using a better filter is a wise idea. it s like thinking my car runs good on reg gas but will run better on premium gas NOT TRUE,but some folks dont belive it ..

i can almost say that the harness wont have the wiring connections if the car didnt come with a back up camera.meaning you will have to run the wire that coastl provides to connect the camera to the radio. if any one has installed a rear camera in rheir journey from coastle i would love to hear about the pitcher quality ,if it would be as good as the dodge camera

i have been thinking of getting one but havent tried to get one yet, i put one in my 2001 truck hoping it would improve my gas mileage but it didnt help enough for me to notice any better milage but at least you dont have to replace them and can go longer between cleanings with them which on that truck it was kind of a pain to change the filter. please let us know how you like it and if you think it helps on you M.P.G. also if it increases the sound of the engine . thanks p.s. the only thing i ever tried for better m.p. g. was switching to syn oil gained about 1 mpg and went alot longer between changes and have been using syn. for at least 15yrs. i even use it my push lawn mower and never have to add any and that mower is still going strong for at least 10 yrs now ( AND YES I KNOW YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO USE 30 WEIGHT OIL IN MOWERS, BUT THOUGHT I WOULD TRY IT AND CHANGE IT EVERY YEAR. SO FAR SO GOOD)

ouch that really hurt, was just having a little fun but i guess you didnt understand that , you must have had a bad childhood to take what i typed so bad ,EXCUSE me your highness of the blog.

dont know if their is enough room for the chrome naked lady emblems to be added to the mud flaps. LOL

brake dust will eat into and pit any wheel if left on and never cleaned off. look at most cars where people never rotate their tires and never clean them, the fronts will be mostly black and the rear wheels will look like new. all brands do this.

take it back to the dealership 1 more time and if they still refuse ot fix it, look in the back of your info book that came with the car and if you cant find that ask your dealer to provide you with a phone # of who is in charge of warrenty problems. call them and explain that yes the wind caught the door and blew it open but that still shouldnt have broke the hinge unless their was possibley a defective hinge. tell them at least go halfs on the repaire so that you would remain a happy dodge owner and not a unhappy owner. remenber to be nice and hopefully they will help you out.. this has worked for me years ago when a transmission went out about 2 k after the warrenty ran out . the dealer refused to call so i did and they decided to fix it for free instead of splitting the cost to keep a happy owner as they said it was so close to the warrenty being out. good luck

take back to a different dealer since it is still should be under warrenty . that idiot doesnt know how to fix it the right way.

i have a 2011 mainstreet with about 10 k miles on it , i have noticed that the rear wheels do seem to collect more dust than the front but not enough for me to be worried about ,of course i dont do that much city driving. i did have the dealership at my last oil change they had to turn the front rotors due to a little vibration,wasnt to thrilled about that, as i said i thought they should have replaced the rotors but the service manger said they werent bad enought to be replaced.but i do have it on record and if i have any more problems they will be replacing them as rotors should last 50 to 100 k before having any problems.dont think they will last that long on my journey i have had dodge caravan for the last 15 yrs and never had any problems out of them and did my own brake jobs. will have to learn how to replace the rear disk as i have never changed any of theem before

has anyone actually installed the back up camera in their journey with the lock pic unit. and if so how hard was it to run the cable to the unit and how pleased are you with the way it works thanks

i called coastal about install and parts to add the back up camera he said the camera comes with a 21 foot cable to connect to the lock pic connecter so you mount it over lic plate and have to route the cable thur the hatchback and under carpet or how ever you want to run it. that sounds like the only hard part. wish you could add a gps that would run thur the touch screen also.want to order one but not sure how hard it would be to run the cable. Has any one done it yet? as of 10-14-2011 it would be a couple of more weeks untill they would be shipping any of the units.dont know if they are having a problem making the units or what ?
