  1. I have an REBS 4.3" Uconnect. When I browse by artist and then click an artist it shows the albums, but is there a way I can play all songs by a particular artist? iPod software has the "all songs" option above the albums, which uconnect seems to be missing.

    Also, I have playlists by genres on my iPod and the Uconnect only shows the albums in that genre. I can't play a whole genre. Is there an update or anything that smartens up the iPod integration, or am I missing something?

    Thanks

  2. I noticed a slight drop in MPG, and I could feel the idle wasn't as smooth as it should be. I reset the code myself and the engine light didn't come back on for another 5-600 miles. Dealer tech said it's safe to drive but he wouldn't take it up to Tahoe, funny thing is I drove it to Tahoe and back the day before I took it in (~400 miles). I'm actually glad it happened now that there's a fix, dealer didn't ask any questions and hooked me up with a loaner quickly.

    From what I gather is they redesigned the left cylinder head for better coolant flow, and the tech told me that the part number has changed around 6 times. Hope we're good to go from now on!

  3. Old post I know, but I have 18K miles on my 2011 3.6L and I got the P0302 cylinder 2 misfire code. Brought it in to the dealer today and sounds like the cylinder head problem for earlier Pentastars. I haven't heard back from them about the leak down test yet but it sounds like a wide spread problem.

    The wrangler forum has a 4000+ post thread about it.

  4. How can you the consumer control what mopar claims on its application lists?

    We can't control what they state on their website, what we can do is have a little common sense and know there's a possibility the application guide is in error, and the chance that this one part will fit that many different models is slim to none. How can you say that since it is on their website's application guide that the dealer is expected to do the necessary modification to the part if necessary to make it work? Expected by who? Sergio Marchionne? I'm all for the Mopar CAI it if the fitment is correct, but I'd like some REAL confirmation, you're just a guy giving his opinion.

    At least if K&N did manufacture the part we'd all know for sure it would fit, none of this guesswork and guinea piggin'. Since you're trying to convince everyone to go Mopar, maybe you should be the guinea pig.

    ...The K&N stickers look cool on my toolboxes.

  5. I've done many forum searches but didn't find any specifics. I'm thinking of replacing the speakers and amplifier I have in my 2011 DJ with the 4.3" UConnect. I have some questions for anybody that has some knowledge on the topic.

    1. What size speakers are in the dash?

    2. Are the door speakers all 6x9's?

    3. Are there any problems with mounting depths in the doors (windows scraping magnets)?

    4. I read that there's an amp under the passenger seat. Is it a 6 channel amp that powers all 6 speakers?

    5. Any links to wiring diagrams for my specific stereo system?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  6. Hey everybody! Pretty new to the boards here. I picked up a '11 white AWD Mainstreet a few months ago, and so far added Thule crossbars with a 38" fairing, a Curt class III receiver, an OEM air deflector for the hood, and 20"x8.5" matte black wheels on 255/45/20 all season tires. I love it!

  7. Sorry, only saw your reply now. I would say they stick out just over an inch, but not that long that it make it unsightly.

    No problem dude, I installed them yesterday with the 38" fairing. The rear bar ends stick out a little more because the distance across the roof gets smaller the farther you go back, looks alright though. I think it's ugly when they stick out too far, but I guess people like the larger real estate up top.

  8. This is just a heads up to those who have the 2011 Journeys...I know the roof racks are not included and only come with the side railings vs the 2010s and lower.

    I managed to pick up a Thule set (TR4547FR) but found out after that the load bars were too short(47" are a inch short that does not allow you to put the end caps properly), although this model can be purchased through dealerships. Thule did manage to resolve the issue by sending me a pair of RB50 load bars which are 50 inches, instead of the 47 inches that were included in the package. If you look at the THULE fit guide books, they recommend the RB47 load bars; they fit near the back of the Journey, but will NOT fit the front.

    The only downside is the fit of the 50" load bars is the clean look as the bars stick out now compared to shorter length.

    Hope to have pics up soon with them on the top.

    How many inches on each side do the 50" bars stick out? My Thule complete crossroad 50" pack should arrive tomorrow. If my math is right about an inch on each side?
