Powdered Toast Man

Hi everyone! We just purchased our Journey R/T (Canadian version) in April 2011. So far we LOVE it! Our former vehicle was an 06 SWB Caravan. I think ours is an earlier 2011 production model as it has the older front and rear fascias, with the new grills and the added front spoiler. I actually think I like it this way! As I mentioned, we've had it over a month and are very pleased. The build quality is much better than our former Caravan. It's actually so enjoyable to drive, my wife and I both look forward to reasons that we have to take it out for a spin! So far, our only complaints are: -EVIC speed display defaults back to MPH every time the car is started. We're in Canada. Yes, the options in the 8.4 display are set to metric. It's only the speed readout that flips back to MPH every time. -iPod/iPhone music control is a bit crude. No playlists available at all in the 8.4 screen, and the album display lists the track alphabetically rather than in the correct album order. -Only option we're missing is the hands free Voice Command. Dealers here didn't understand that the UConnect system now describes the 8.4 media system, and no longer is the name for the hands free. Anyway, here's our Journey!

Funny, I have almost the same Journey, except my 2011 R/T has the old fascia. Also, only option missing is the handfree VC. Apparently the fact that Dodge decided to rename the 8.4" system "UConnect" and call the hands free "Voice Command" confused all the dealers here and they ordered all of their 2011's without handsfree (thinking that when the vehicle had a "UConnect system" that it was equipped). Here's mine:

Mine doesn't read playlists off my iPhone or iPod. Frustrating because the pics in the manual clearly show playlists there, but they're not on my system.

What the? My 2011 Canadian R/T that just just bought last month has the old style front and rear fascia, but with the new honeycomb grill.
