Johnson Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hello! After lurking in the shadows and learning from many others, I thought I'd finally join the forum and straight up ask the question I haven't been able to find an answer to. I have a 2014 Journey SXT with a 4.3s/REB. I want to upgrade to the Rb5 but I don't know if it matters what year Rb5 I get. It's pretty tough to find a 2014 rb5 that is somewhat affordable. I found one from 2012 that I was about to buy but the guy at the salvage yard thought it wouldn't work with my '14. Other items I'll need -bezel, new AC panel (mine is not auto), and a touch screen as well. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I think that the only major difference from some model years is the need to have an unlock code or something like that... I know I've seen this very recently, someone with a better answer should chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnson Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks Lobitz. I am planning on ordering parts today and will eventually be doing a "tutorial" on how I did it. Pending a good outcome If anyone has any suggestions, thoughts, or ideas, please let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milous Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Re: A/C controls Don't know if this would apply to the Journey or not, but on 2011-2013 Grand Cherokee models owners with manual A/C controls have been able to install (plug and play) the auto a/c controller and have all of the auto functions.

Johnson Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks Milous, I had read about that as well on here so while I don't know if I'll need to get another sensor or something, I am going to get the lower stack AC controls with the auto button and hopefully it works. I ordered the bezel, the RB5, and the screen today. Looking forward to getting this stuff and getting it in! The other thing I am going to be adding is a backup camera, either doing it myself (probably choose against this option), or having it installed. I don't know how involved the installation is.
