I just got my '15 crossroad flashed today. For some reason it took 2 hours to do the harness, partly because the service rep didn't tell the tech that all that he needed to do was a restoration because the sales codes were already installed (poor communication), and they also had an update to my navigation that was covered under warranty. I installed a Class III Curt receiver (#13201) ($123 online)and also OEM wiring harness 68080977AC ($70 online) . The receiver took maybe 45-60 minutes to install, figuring out how to get the rubber gaskets off the exhaust mounts took the longest but once I got them off it took maybe a half hour to install the actual hitch myself. The wiring harness really only took 10 minutes to install. I laid on the floor and reached behind the bumper, disconnected the cap, plugged in the connector popped the attached rivets into the holes and zip tied the rest to the hitch bar for extra security and I was done. At the dealer they tried to charge me $137 for the flash. I asked how it cost so much since the flash should really be done at the factory and said this should be covered under warranty. The guy came back after talking with his manager and I got to leave without paying a thing. I think I made out pretty good overall other than spending 2.5 hours of my morning at the dealership.

I have a 2015, I removed the emblem to see what it would look like. It really only took about 5 minutes to remove. If you loosen the grille by removing the black rivets on the top of the grill in the engine bay you can pull the grille forward enough to slide your arm down. The badge itself has 2 prongs that stick out the back. There are washer like parts that all you need to do is twist counterclockwise about half a turn and the badge will slide right off. If you plan to keep it off you could easily cut off the small molded plastic pieces to completely eliminate the brackets. I attached a picture with the badge removed but with the brackets still in place. From a distance you can't even see the little brackets.

I have a duel cone 12" Mtx that I'm trying to find a way to make work. I may be building my own box to fit behind the third row. I'd rather not try to sell then buy new if I don't have to

Hello all, my name is Nathan. Though I'm new to the Journey, I'm not be to dodge.Dodge runs deep in my family and we all love our dodge products. My first car was a '98 stratus, then '01 Dakota, '11 Avenger and now the '15 Journey. I've already taken my cold air intake from the avenger and installed it in my journey and am now looking for ways to install my sub to where I can still use the cargo space and 3rd row seating without much compromise. I'm no stranger to customizing my vehicles to make them more me even if it's only a subtle change to set it apart. I also have various experience with using Plasti-dip for custom accents. If anyone has any advice on how they setup their aftermarket sub I'm looking for ideas. And if you have any questions for me feel free to ask and I will share my experience. The picture is of my 11 Avenger and my new Journey when I took delivery.
