Nice!!! Now go put some miles on it.

I have 2 new DJ's in the driveway and we love them (2012 & 2013). No issues at all. At some put in your life you are going to come across a vehicle which will have some problems and when it does happen, know that it can be fixed. Maybe not in the time frame you like but it will be done. The dealers can only do what they are told to do after so many times of rectifing the problem but you do have the option of taking it to another dealer and then again some may not have that option.

Unless you have new info on the hvac error with the 8.4 screen, don't waste your time. Dealer won't be able to help you.

Your TIPM won't take the update. It'll kick it back as an incorrect component.

If you've got new info please share it.

Well your right on the money. There is a 4 letter code ( not the 4 number code for anti-theft) they put with the radio for the 2013 software that does not match the software for the 2012 even though it is a RE2 radio, the software has change for the 2013-2014 DJ's. If this radio had come out of a 2012 DJ or a new virgin radio then it would have worked . Goss Dodge tried everything for 2 hours and could not get it to talk. Now I have to see if LKQ will take it back. I called them yesterday and they did not return my call yet. Might have taken Friday off after Thanksgiving to get a 4 day weekend. We will see. I am just going to leave the radio alone and if anything happen with it then I will upgrade it through Dodge.

Not yet. Friday is the day it goes in. The service guy looked it up and you could order the upgrade and have it install with no problems as long as the componets match or came from the same dj. Sp we will see when friday comes around and I will let everyone know how it turns out.

Not after all the performance Mod's ive done to it. Mine's just as fast if not faster and it looks cooler than yours.

If you are doing what I think you are going to do or have then yes. But reguardless, black dj's are faster

Mines Faster than yours!!!! B)

Went to the dealer on Tuesday and while I was there to get the transmission updated, I got the code from them. Came home and installed the radio and it works great now after inputing the right code but now I have to take it back and get the new hvac to sync with the computer.

Took the dj in at Goss Dodge in Vermont to have the transmission updated as it was having issues on shifting. For some reason it did not like to down shift and when it did it was to much as the rpms would rev the motor to high and jerk you back in the seat. Now it works and behaves like it should. Good job to Goss Dodge!!

Welcome to a great site!

Yup did the same to mine from curt, hitch and wiring harness. Took a couple of hours and works great. My wifes 2013 has the towing package install and the two things I had to buy was the receiver and dodge's wiring harness. Have not installed it yet but soon. The instructions are very easy.

Brett

Very nice indeed!!

Here you go!!

My wifes new 2013. She has no idea I bought it for her!!

I will get a better picture later.

Thanks for the warm welcome!! I also have a 1966 Dodge Charger all original even the 383 and transmission. It was my dads before he passed away in 93 and it has been sitting in the garage on blocks since then. Still in great shape. I am a 20 year retired Navy vet who still works to keep the kids happy. I now have been working at IBM for 11 years, wow doesn't seem that long. Have a great day everyone!

Brett

Welcome Brett. Pictures?

I will get them on here asap.

Welcome to the forum! Wow two DJ's- nice problem to have!

The 2012 has 24,000 miles on it with no problems. The 2013 has 1,500 miles on it with no problems. They both better be no problems for a long time as these are nice to drive.

Brett

Okay I sent him a PM. If anyone else out there with suggestions, I'm all ears!

I'm up to 4 and this will make it 5 so now I can do it!

Guess it will have to wait untill I get 5 post before I can send a pm.

okay I will try that. Thank you!

I have a 2012 DJ SXT and it came with the 4.3 screen and the system does not have nav or bluetooth. I do have heated seats but no auto climate control. I bought a 8.4 screen with the sd/cd/dvd radio with auto climate control from a 2013 DJ and have it hooked up already. The problem I have is it needs the code number to release the radio and other commands. I do have the VIN number of the salvage DJ along with the radio's serial number. Is there anyone here who maybe able to help me out if I gave these number to run and get the code number for me. Thank you for any help.

Brett

Thanks for letting be here. I own 2 DJ's 2012sxt and a 2013sxt awd Black Top. The awd is the wifes and the other is mine. Both are excellent suv's and have had no issues with them. Had 2 2010 Caliber's before and those were excellent cars too. Hope to be of some help for other when they need it.
