Jcar29 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Hey all first post here I’m a new owner of a 2020 Dodge Journey SE and I love it. I got the most basic model and the radio doesn't come with Bluetooth. Not a problem for me but at some point I would like to upgrade to one with maybe Apple car play my question is if I buy an after market one is it difficult to hook up? I’ve installed radios before in older cars but never something new any help would be greatly appreciated thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 The radio is easy. Everything that runs through it, that can be hard. You’ll need to use something like a Meistro module. Check Crutchfield, they tell you what works and what you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’ll just look on eBay for someone selling there dodge radios thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhareFred Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Not cheap, plus you need the BT module, not built into the radio. Maybe you can add BT to your current radio. Ask the dealer parts guy...the module is around $500 if I remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
