@Timon, you can lock the doors when you leave the car even with then engine running.

No, it's not only you (less than a minute though), but I never had problems with the battery in 4 years (crossing fingers).

Unrelated, but, per chance did you capture the codes from the buttons on the steering wheel? (in the eventuality that they're available on the same bus). I'm referring to the ones controlling the radio, not the speed control or the evic. My obdII adapter is too slow to do serious sniffing...

Hey, you know the mantra: release early, release often, but, OK, I'll wait

So, where's the github repository?

It could be just a matter of opening it completely (by pushing, or pulling I don't remember the retainers inside the glove box) and re-seating it. I opened it a million times and 90% of the times I have to open and re-seat it.

As I said on the spanish forum, you have to set en-us as the first accepted language. Probably the same monkeys that managed the uconnect project are managing the web site

I don't have this unit (I wouldn't spend this kind of money, Chinese or not, I'm quite satisfied with my low cost alternative, btw, I upgraded to a proper in car dvb-t receiver and I made a third and much better version of the bezel) but I read of several people who do. Some are satisfied, some say it doesn't work as it should. Keep in mind that it can only replace a 4.3 system (if you had an 8.4 this is not for you) and you should take a card from the original system and install it in this one (I repeat, I don't have the unit, this is just what I read).

I don't use the radio anymore (it's too irritating) but I had the same problem and it was solved by a software update 1 year ago or so.

Yes, my monitor is 4.3" (exactly the same size than the useless one above it), with the bezel it takes a few mm more on each side. You can try if it fits with a paper (or better cardboard) template. From a quick search on aliexpress a 3.5" monitor has more or less the same size as a 4.3" one, I couldn't find any 3.3"

Here you can see where I put my monitor. The definitive version (no photo yet) it's much better than what you see in post #13.

May I suggest to install a monitor behind the armrest? Note that in the meantime I installed a dvb-t receiver with a dual antenna (to improve tv reception), but for playing movies from an usb stick the home receiver I used in that post worked wonderfully.

Wow, thank you. I just discovered that my car should include a "smoker's group", a "removable ash tray", a "cigar lighter" and "Adjustable Roof Rail Crossbars". Of course the dealer (or most probably the local fiat subsidiary) didn't include any of those. I'm not interested in the smoker's items, but the crossbars could be useful (and not exactly cheap over here). I guess it's too late to complain now.

Both my previous cars (so going back 10 years), one Renault and one Citroen, had a rain sensor and both worked very well, in fact I was annoyed by the fact that the Journey/Freemont didn't have it. However, it didn't turn on the wipers automatically, it just controlled the speed.

I don't have one but, yes, it maintains the original on screen controls. In fact it just switches between its own video signal and the uconnect one. An ingenious trick to avoid reverse engineering the original unit (it just keeps using it).
