The $149 is USD. With Fed Ex Express shipping and conversion it comes to $225 CAD.

The 2015 Maps just came out. I had it delivered today and installed it. It updates my area real well. It also added the max speed in the bottom right where the speed is. On the 2012 map that was only there if I went to the US.

I would not get the update every year in fact I did my first one three years in and a move to a new city which had grown since 2012 made it a necessity.

There are some answers on messaging in another thread in the Lounge section on the second page. Look for:

Messaging option on uconnet

In 2012 when I ordered my Crew I was aware of VOTS, it did not at that time track Canadian Orders.

Welcome and congrats on the Crossroad.

I got a bunch. Thanks for the tip.

HotRodLincoln don't worry about a Monday. Mine was built Monday Feb 13 2012. It has been fine. Like Journeyman425 says the robots don't care.

I would like to point out the VOTS is not available for Canadian customers that special order. That was true then it might have changed now.

Journeyman425 thanks for all you do. We all appreciate the help and knowledge you bring to the forum.

Thanks Journeyman425

A 255 option would be nice. The rims are sweet,

I hope they have one at the Toronto Auto Show.

I got a 2012 new in 2012. My Mom liked it she went and got a 2010. My Dad just went and got a 2014 RT. So there are three in my family.

The tread pattern for that tire seems to match. Firestone shows a P235 55R 18 available. The 19 inch version is a P255. It looks nice.

The tires look wider in the pictures.

The tires look wider for sure. I wonder what tire manufacturer made them?

in this picture we see the phone connected with the messaging active. I blacked out quick numbers at the top between dial and mute. I do want to make edits to the images clear.

This image shows the inbox. There are two options either view or listen to the text. Where the +1 is the phone number of the incoming message. I have blacked it out.

Finally we see the text content in the final image. Again the 1+ is where the phone number of the sender of the text.

So in the end a simple Samsung flip phone with bluetooth works very well if texting is important.

All I have had the message function working on a 2012 built in February 2012. It has the 8.4N.

Long story short it does not work with many popular phones. Like iPhone for example. I tried with the iPhone 4 and now the iPhone 5S with no luck. I am not sure if it is the IOS of the phone or a limitation with the unit in the car. But it does not work.

U-Connect lists the iPhone 4 as not capable of messaging on the website. Which was correct as I could never get it to work.

Now for how it does work. I have a basic Samsung flip phone for my work SGH A847R. If I connect it. Bingo it works.

So it seems that to have the texting work you need a more basic phone.

You can find out which version you have here. driveuconnect.com

I see you have a 2012. My 2012 which was built in Feb 2012 has the 8.4N.

I am sorry to hear you continue to have the same issue. I as you know have the exact same issue. I have posted pictures of mine before acting up. Mine does a similar wandering from time to time where it does not show me where I am accuratly.

I think our journeys were both built near the same date. My build date was Feb 13 2012. Maybe there was an issue for units made at that time.

I was hoping they had fixed your issue and I could let my dealer know what you had found as a fix.

My dealer is still working a front end rubber crunching noise that drives me nuts when I go over a bump. So far they did the upper strut bearings and it still is noisy.

Still love the vehicle though.

Nice crew. I like your colour choice.

I have the same situation but only on the front window. It scratches way too easy. I have scratches running every which way.

Some are likely scrapper as they run right to left. Some are in the same direction as the wiper travel so arced. Some others are up and down likely from washing.

I plan on having the side windows tinted and will ask the glass folks their opinion.

I have never seen this issue on any of my past vehicles. It is strange.

Welcome to the forum. It is great to have you.

I have no plans to travel this weekend. But, I will be heading to Disney for the annual trip in early May. Second Disney trip with the Journey since I got it one year ago.

One year 25,000 km. One trip to Florida. Equals a whole lotta fun.

I do have one question. Why can't Canadian orders from the factory be tracked in VOTS like US orders?

I have a 2012 8.4n. It is a Garmin and works as described by DRB227' for the 2011.

I think that the Dodge Journey is a great overall vehicle.

Where it misses is with the simpler things like:

The steering wheel centre is off centre and actually to the left of centre on the EVIC.

Squeak in the armrest. Fixed under warranty

Squeak in the driver side B post. Fixed under warranty

Battery location.

Oil filter access or cover.

Brakes

But it is great to drive and easy to love.

Please keep us updated.

What changed in the 2013 unit?

Welcome to the forum.

My Journey and I will be heading to Florida in May.

I Love mine and I am sure she will too.

Congratulations on your new Journey.

Welcome to the forum.

Copperhead Pearl Clearcoat.

Last three cars were grey. Added some colour this time.

It is true there are no bad Journey Colours.

Welcome and congratulations on the crew.

I too have the crew but it is a 2012.

I have not had it to the dealer for this issue. It would hard to duplicate at he dealer since it is intermittent. But I did get the picture to prove it happens. Just so they don't think I am nuts when I do go in. I will let them know at my next visit.

My build date was February 13 2012 according to the dealer. So a few months before yours.

Hopefully the picture helps DodgeCares or DodgeCaCares understand the problem better..
