nt1983 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 My wife recently bought a 2015 journey with the small radio screen. Car Toys told her they couldn't hook up a backup camera to her screen and couldn't install an aftermarket radio. Is this true??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Welcome to the forum. You have to have one of the 2 large screen radios to hook up the factory back up camera. The camera is not compatible withe small screen radios. Muth makes a universal back up camera, where the image is in the rear view mirror. Call Crutchfield as far as installing an aftermarket radio. I do not see why a double din radio with a large screen wouldn't fit. Some of them have the connections for a camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) NAV-TV makes an adapter to let you connect a backup camera to the 4.3 inch display - but it is very pricey. Do not go with an aftermarket radio unless you don't mind losing a lot of the control over your air conditioning.

ezyb Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I can't endorse the quality of this one way or the other, but there was an aftermarket option discussed in this thread http://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/3419-possible-43-to-84-upgrade/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 There is a kit that allows you to install an aftermarket stereo in the models with the 4.3 ONLY. Metra makes a kit that retains the touchscreen for use with the other vehicle systems and allows you to install an aftermarket stereo. The kit allows installation of a single DIN or a double DIN (so you can install an aftermarket camera). You would also need the steering wheel controls adaptor, but I think everything else is included. Runs $400-$500 US. http://www.metraonline.com/part/99-6520B dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 That is pretty cool that a company would go to all that trouble just for one vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 That is pretty cool that a company would go to all that trouble just for one vehicle. They have a whole line of them, not just ours... With most manufacturers moving to a similar system, companies will have to react to remain profitable. They are a little pricey though, and the buttons stick out quite a ways. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
