  1. Yes....just pull slow!!!!!! be careful....there are wires connected.
  2. just pull the dash around the radio and a/c all the way up to the bin on top...a/c connection cord should be there so be careful not to yank at it too hard...it does disconnect....its a double din radio...you can find them off ebay from about 200 bucks....or buy aftermarket depending on your configuration.
  3. Don't mean to hi-jack the post but 04redmach1 you live about 100 miles from me here in GA...have you ever installed video? Although they are not in your town yet we have Fry's up here in Gwinnett county....they sell a lot of screens...I am the one that posted the schematics for the video output on the 6 disk... I ran a line for my video. SO my question would be how good are you at installing an overhead screen? here is a link to the screen. http://www.frys.com/product/6064608?site=s...CH:MAIN_RSLT_PG I would like to put it to the side right ...not in the middle because I don't want it to block my rear view. Also you were correct in saying a 10 in seal sub for behind the 3rd row. I placed my amp in the storage box underneath in the back...it survived a 13 hour trip up north back in the summer so no overheating problem and is out of site. Not running anything great just a Pio sub with a JVC amp. I will post it so you can see. Now if your real slick...find a way to put an 8 in in the area above the left rear wheel. I have not found a way to crack that space open. In past trucks like the expedition you could remove a cover to get to the sub...in the journey it looks like you have to remove a full panel.
  4. Yes you can ...make sure your music is labeled...I did mine in folders of each artist to make sure I could scroll though them correctly...otherwise it will go in alphabetical order. I fit about 700 songs on a dvd...back up for my mp3...one day I'll get an Ipod...one day.
  5. There is plenty of space in there.....for the dvd and hvac hoses.....the dvd got a bracket the holds it in place....also I can confirm that they did not run wires for a dvd flip down in cars that did not come with it....I have sunroof and pulled at the roof to look inside and my 2nd row a/c controls only had a single wire as the dvd/a-c control has two for all the functions.
  6. Got the visors from Larry...did not fit mine but it may fit yours....here are some pics if I can upload them...uggg ....don't know how to downgrade....will be shipping them back to larry..
  7. Where are you at PM me or send me an email....I'll take em...let me know shipping 30052...will send funds through pay-pal.
  8. I noticed in the last pic that you have a cover for the little bit of trunk space behind the 3rd row seat...did this come with the car or did you buy it afterword...I wonder if they gave those after the first ones rolled off...when was your Journey made?

    nice feature

    Tried the mirror thing....is that folded in or out...could not get mine to work...would be nice after going thru the car wash...
  10. Got the curve 8310 as well and will see if it have the OBEX it needs to connect, will get back to you if I find anything.
  11. Well we like pics...so post pics of what you did. Just came back from a 2000+ road trip and the targets held up...one has a monitor in line and I used that line to play from the DVD in dash. The instructions are in the manuel but the jist is to hit the set up button and work from there, bad news is unless you have a monitor in the front you have to ask the person in the back what is playing so you can hit the ok in the set up menu.
  12. So then how can Ibe Mario Andretti with this thing, I tried one time and it scared the crap out of me how fast it took off. Can some one explain how they use it and what to feel for. Going on a trip and would love to get more speed to pass the truckers.
  13. Have a trip comming up from GA to NY...will use mid-grade in hopes of better MPG. I had her up to 28 MPG *say's EVIC* in the past so let's see if we can do 30 with a 6cyl. on the road...what crusing speed should I set it at....I love to do no less than 70mph.
  14. Lol...I have to laugh because I used to live in Buffalo NY, which as we know is just a hop, skip and jump across the Peace or Rainbow Bridge. Now I live in GA, with this auto store http://www.oreillyauto.com/EW3/FindAStore.do They are not in NYS at all, however Pep boys is....I did thier search and came up short on the rotors but pad are Front Prostop Brake Pads PLATFORM SPECIFIC FRICTION FORMULATION w/SINGLE LAYER SHIM 1 per Vehicle LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY PD1273 09 $29.99 Normally Stocked Front Prostop Platinum Pads ADVANCED VEHICLE SPECIFIC FRICTION FORMULATION PRODUCES OE PERFORMANCE - MULTI LAYERED SHIM 1 per Vehicle LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY PGD1273 09 $46.99 CALL FOR AVAILABILITY Front Prostop Ceramic Pads CERAMIC ENHANCED FRICTION FORMULATION TO REDUCE NOISE AND DUST - STAINLESS STEEL MULTI-LAYERED SHIM 1 per Vehicle LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY PR1273C 09 $64.99 Normally Stocked So needless to say I should have bought the ceramics ...less brake dust. I am sure if you called you would get a better price and te price of the rotors from them. and by the way, I sure do miss the Sundowner! Wish the passport law didn't go into effect.
  15. Did my own brake job after 14000 miles.... Cost of breaks 45 bucks plus 20 to turn the disk. You will find it easy to change them as they are only 2 screws or bolts that you need to take out to change the pad, there are two larger bolts to take off when you remove the disk, be sure you don't rip off the caliper and use a vice to put pressure on the caliper before you remove it to take the pads off. SO it looks as if I save 230 bucks accoring to some on here. I did buy mettalic and got a lifetime warranty on them at a place called o'rillyies where I live but I'm sure parts plus, pep boys or any of you auto parts store has them. Takes about 45 min to do it yourself. Maybe next time I will write a how to with pics to help everyone out but trust me its easy. Oh year I was told the rotors (disk) were about 65 bucks each. I'm sure the dealer will double that price but if you ever take them off the amount that can be 'shaved' off is imprinted on the inside of the rotor and I think it was 23.6 or something but they were able to be turned. I took the truck to tire plus (firestone) and they told me the back brakes were good at 80% pad left...I think the front take more abuse than the back so this did not shock me at all. A quick way to check the rotors is to take youe key or a hanger (hate to say it) to check for groves. I would tell most of you to buy the pads and go to someone who will do it for you to save some money, keep the pad so the next time you can turn them in for your lifetime warranty so the work can be done again. It use to be that they would ask you for the old ones when you first buy the new ones but they told me no, kinda like a core charge like when you get a battery or a starter so that they can reuse the part to make a new one. So I kept my old pad to turn back in so I am not slowed down for the next brake repair.
