    For the record -- the UConnect is user-flashable -- we all got an update recently that could be done via the USB port.
  2. Did you get your dealer to flash the EVIC to solve the problem?
  3. Hi -- Yes, I'm in Canada. I don't have an R/T -- I've got the SXT Crew. The speed of zero is likely to defeat the "if moving, don't allow GPS data entry". That's odd -- In my email thread with Coastaletech they told me that since I had a factory reverse camera that I could NOT use any other cameras...so I didn't try... Cheers!
  4. Set your lights to AUTO and you should be fine.
  5. I got a buddy to help me with the Lockpick C8 install (extra hands were useful!) into my 2011 Journey last night -- and it went *very* smoothly. Derivative99 -- if you're reading this -- My reverse camera picture quality is that same as without the Lockpick...I don't notice it being darker at all...You didn't hit one of the two brightness wheels to the left of the steering, did you? One of the two dims the 8.4" screen if you lower it far enough... So far I'm enjoying the unlocked features...Ended up modifying the molding that snaps in underneath the entertainment unit -- snapping two of the plastic "vent" pieces allowed us to feed the Lockpick's mini-harness through to the Lockpick unit I'm keeping in the centre console -- I'm going to put black braid/hose on the exposed wires and velcro the Lockpick into the centre console... I haven't tried the AUX video yet, but did the firmware update without issues. Cheers! Quark
  6. Thanks for the great post -- just arrived in Windsor this morning -- drove from Kingston this afternoon -- Journey was a dream! I think there's definitely something up with the brakes -- everyone seems to be having noise issues at one point or another...I get terrible sounds after starting the vehicle when it's been off and braking a low speeds...god awful sound I'm going to record to the dealer who claims there's no issue!
  7. I just got email from Brett at Coastal Electronics and he indicated that there is new firmware for the C8 that was released today -- I assume this is the firmware you guys had emailed to you! http://www.coastalet...m/usbupdate.htm
  8. Did you make sure that you have the lights to the left of the steering wheel set to AUTO?
  9. After your Lockpick update did your reverse camera quality improve? I have an email thread with their support and they say since I have the factory reverse camera that the Lockpick will not use any additional cameras...
  10. Tested my iPod with purchased tracks only this afternoon and skipping still occurred...I'm going to see if there is any iPod firmware to update ....
  11. I did the update this morning -- saw Album Art for the first time, ever! The tracks that skipped before still skip, will try re-encoding as someone suggested. Impressed with the upgrade -- C'mon Dodge -- let's get some more work and features happening!
  12. Be thankful they didn't wait for it to go through their web department...or it would be January before we saw this update...
  13. Very cool -- your dealer put a lot more detail on the invoice than mine did!
  14. Interesting -- I'm having the same issue here... Guess I'd better talk to the dealer... If anyone has gotten any satisfaction (or not) our of their dealers -- please post here for the benefit of all of us...
  15. I'm getting my LockPick next weekend (16/17)-- I'll post some impressions once I've had a chance to play with it!
  16. Best I have is: "Perform software update for IPC" and "18-19-45-91 Module, Cabin Compartment Node (CCN) - Reprogram (B) - 0.2hrs" But honestly, your dealer should have them and know about it... As an IT service provider doing work for various Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealerships, I know a fair bit about their inner workings... Your dealer should not only know about it (service bulletins via DealerConnect and such systems) but should be nodding their head and offering to do the update under warranty ASAP... If your dealer continues to play dumb, get me the name of the dealer and a phone number and I'll have someone from my local dealer call them for you and take them through what they need to do...It boggles my mind that some dealers out there are so clueless...this isn't rocket science...
  17. Beat up your dealer(s) -- they should be fixing this stuff! The garbled display/language is apparently a software update according to my dealer....
  18. My Journey was at the dealer on Wednesday to check a condensation problem in the rear right brake light enclosure and I talked to them about the km/h vs mph issue -- there is a fix -- they did two separate software updates to my Journey -- the km/h is DEFINITELY fixed. Haven't found out what the second fix was for -- overall I was told that the fixes pertained to the instrument cluster / EVIC. Cheers!
  19. Thanks for the tip -- I'll see what firmware I'm running and upgrade it asap...
  20. 37 year old male, married father of two in Kingston, Ontario. I work in Information Technology (IT) and my job involves everything from the management of datacentre systems to client networks and associated hardware. I do not use my vehicle for work purposes other than to get to work in the mornings and home in the evenings!
  21. Thanks for your feedback, Tom -- a good read for me as a new Journey owner (1150km so far). Is your 2011 SE a 4 cylinder? I test-drove the 4 cylinder and decided that the v6 was necessary for any real highway driving... Also, did you take it to a Chrysler/Dodge dealer for your first oil change? or just to a general garage/mechanic? My local dealer provides a coupon that makes the first oil change free...for when I need it!
  22. Hi everyone, I've noticed that some of the tracks on my iPod Touch (plugged in via USB) have a random skip/gap when played through the 8.4N stereo system...I've verified that the tracks are fine from the headphones. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas?
  23. Dodge does advertise the Journey as "Canada's Best Selling Crossover"
