Hello, everyone!
I just bought my first ever Dodge vehicle: 2014 Dodge Journey R/T. This is quite the step up from the vehicle I'm coming from (2006 Chevy Colorado), and a lot of this car is somewhat overwhelming but kind of exciting at the same time. Aside from the "first steps" after buying a used vehicle (ie: new battery, air filters, oil change, etc), is there anything I should be aware of?
My first two direct questions are:
it's equipped with UConnect Phone (I think that's what it's called. I only have access to Phone, AM/FM/Sirius, and CD).
how do I tell if the software needs to be updated?
the UConnect site tells me my VIN cannot be recognized, even though every other site that uses the VIN had never had an issue. According to the VIN, the vehicle was made in Mexico
can the head unit be software-updated to include navigation, or does that require a whole new system?
My rear-view mirror look identical to the one in the standard Owner's Manual, however:
manually repositioning it is incredibly difficult, to the point where I'm actually afraid I will pull it off the windshield
I saw no "mirror identification" diagrams in the owner's manual. Would it be correct to assume that the 2 bumps on either side of the top of the mirror are the microphones for the voice commands/telephone?
I'm here to learn as much about my vehicle as I can. I'll be the first to admit I'm automotively challenged, so please be gentle with me.
