Unfortunately, the hands free module is right behind the steering column and the microphone is in rear view mirror. It is also highly doubtful that it is pre-wired. One weekend I'm going to try to find a journey at a self service junkyard and start exploring.

I'm happy to report it was just a loose cable that caused the lower stack to lose function. I was also able to add in a few rubber washers to bump out the bezel, it was pulled in too tight. Now everything fits perfectly! The last step is to find the right part number for the hvac control module so that I can adjust the temperature. I have asked the parts place where I purchased the lower stack if the module is still available.

As long as the 8.4 has SiriusXM, you'll have the hookup for the gps antenna - at least that is what I have read. I had it since I upgraded from the 4.3s. My US RB5 is part #P05064538AE, just for reference.

Just to clarify my setup, which should probably now have its own topic, the RB5, 8.4 screen, and lower stack all came from 2011 Journeys. The radio came from one Journey and the screen and lower stack came from the another Journey. Aside from adjusting the temperature, everything works from the touch screen. All of the steering wheel controls work as well. I'm betting that the cable that runs from the screen to the lower stack isn't seated properly at the screen side. I can't think of another reason why the same behavior would follow both units. Dremel is a good idea that I'll use as a last resort. I need 1/16" to 1/8" of space and I can't seem to make that adjustment.

How is your fitment? No matter what I do I can't seem to adjust the bezel to avoid having the lower stack buttons get stuck in. I have to leave the screws loose so that I can push up on the bezel and pull down on the fan dial. Not that it really matters though, I bought the lower stack from the same wreck I got the 8.4 screen from and neither the old one nor the new one do anything but tune radio stations and turn the radio volume up (regardless of which way you twist the dial). And I mean that - no back light, ac controls, traction control, not even the hazard lights! I'm going to check that all of the wire harnesses are connected properly this weekend... At least I have the navigation and radio working

I'll let you know if I have the same disappointment on Tuesday. My order information doesn't have any part numbers so I'm not sure what it was but I also chose the w/nav bezel. It was fulfilled by Kernersville Chrystler Dodge Jeep.

Doing the same thing, can't wait to see your result! Thanks for the links, I've been looking for the dash bezel for a little while without a clue where to find it. I'm curious about bluetooth a2dp... I know you won't be able to do voice control or hands-free without additional equipment but that functionality HAS to be built into the RB5.
