Probably because this thread is from 2008. The Journey was a different vehicle back then.

Go here and enter the last 8 digits of your VIN. https://rsur.extra.chrysler.com/rsur/Uconnect.do

Reading text messages is advertised as a feature of Uconnect, but it only supports a very small number of phones that nobody actually has. It works great with my wife's Explorer and my iPhone. Chrysler doesn't seem to update existing versions of Uconnect, so the current functionality is most likely what we're stuck with.

That was debunked in the first season of Mythbusters.

I think an adapter will be your best bet. Then you can just use a regular zero rise (or even drop) ball mount. This is the one that I have: http://www.amazon.com/Manufacturing-45013-Vertical-Receiver-Adaptor/dp/B003721BVK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371128533&sr=8-1&keywords=vertical+hitch+adapter

Nope, that's not the case. I have a 2012 Crew with the smaller brakes.

Works fine with my iPhone 5 and my wife's Explorer (MyFordTouch). Doesn't work at all with my DJ. This would have to be fixed by Chrysler, but judging by the frequency of updates that they've released for Uconnect thus far, I think we're out of luck.

I've asked this question many times. You won't receive a logical answer because there is no logical reason why they would be disabled from the factory when there's a perfectly good menu option in Uconnect to turn them on and off. My guess is that whoever at Chrysler made the decision to have them disabled didn't realize that there was already a user-accessible option to turn them on and off. The good news is that once you get the dealer to enable them, they work perfectly and can be turned on and off at will

Even though it's in the owner's manual, that feature didn't exist in the 2011 model. They added it for 2012. Same with voice command for the Nav system.

It does take a bit of driving for the car to auto-learn the new sensors. But I've never seen the warning come on during that time. My guess is that Costco installed the wrong sensors. Not all 433Mhz sensors are the same.

Yes, it will.

Yes, I called the Chrysler Customer Care line and reported the problem. I'd love any help you can provide, but I'm not in Canada. I would imagine that will limit the help you can provide? Thanks!

Goodyear is now making these tires in the stock 225/55R19 size. Not sure how good they are, but it's nice to see other tire manufacturers providing options for this odd size. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Assurance+CS+Fuel+Max&partnum=255HR9ACSFM&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Dodge&autoYear=2012&autoModel=Journey&autoModClar=Crew

I would be perfectly fine with that, but it's never less than 10 minutes for me and often closer to 20. Chrysler and my dealer both say there's nothing wrong with my system. It's working as designed. My dealer even went further to say that every time you cycle the ignition, the system is supposed to recognize the iPod as if it was plugged in for the first time and do a full index. I pointed out that the manual clearly states it should only re-index if the content changes. He just shrugged.

Saying things like "It doesn't work" isn't specific enough to tell anyone anything. The article above was referring to the 8.4 system, which is quite different from yours.
