Burn Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 hey , hello all ... first post here new owner of a one month old 09 journey wow , finally found a forum dedicated to the dodge journey ..cool. Well i will start right away to read all the topics to catch up but before i do i just want to share a nice feature i found today :with your car ( a journey of course ) parked and locked , take your fob and hit the unlock button once and then quickly hit it again but this time hold it : the two front windows will remotely roll down until you release the unlock button. Not sure the usefulness of this feature beside to let it go the heat before you get inside ... cool ...but the bad news is you will have to get in the vehicle to get the windows up because you can't do it remotely this time well see you all in the forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyoram Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Welcome to the Club Someone else has posted about the nifty window trick. Always good to have a refresher course for the newbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryl Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I enjoy the "tap" turn signal feature also & the Uconnect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKJavelin Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I tried the window trick after seeing it on this forum. Pretty neat...... but I looked in the owner's manual to see how I could have missed it, and it's not in there. I wonder what other electronic tricks there are??

johny1fin Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I enjoy the "tap" turn signal feature also & the Uconnect As a newbie, what is the 'tap' turn signal and have I missed some Uconnect trick? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 just push a little the turn signal ( Tap ) ... don't fully engage it and it will blink a few seconds and then stop. Useful when changing lane... As a newbie, what is the 'tap' turn signal and have I missed some Uconnect trick?John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May not be a joke. Most Chrysler vehicles that are shipped overseas have power folding mirrors. Here in the states we have to manually fold the mirrors in and out. I noticed he is from England, so he may just have the power folding option on the mirrors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i was thinking about the hardware required to make it work and the cost .... i just can't get it. That's why i don't know if it's a joke or not.... i prefer to use this money elsewhere in the car instead of powered folding in - out mirror.

Fold them in and backup really really fast....they might open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny1fin Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Fold them in and backup really really fast....they might open. I tried that the other days and now the post I hit has left a yellow stain down my bumper. No its not my Journey but my old Laguna thank god. The mirrow trick really does work but only to open not close when you park like lots of other cars. Pitty. There really is no other hardware required just programming given the car knows your speed and the motor exists in the mirror. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No joke and I am a little offended by your comment. My Journey is a UK spec SE and it had power mirrors as standard. There is a button by the window switches to open and fold the mirrors. Plus, as I stated in my original post, if you drive off withthem folded they automatically unfold. Unlike my old Renault they do not fold shut when you lock the car. I do not come to this valuable forum to make fun of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 In the US and Canada, we don't have this feature on our cars (power fold and open mirrors). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
