I have a 2010 Journey and I have it tuned with the Hypertech Max Programmer, a K&N filter and a Magna Flow Exhaust System. Is there anything more I can do to it as far as a chip or something? I dont want to change out the heads or cam. Im just wondering if there's anything more that can be done.

I just purchased these from ebay a few days ago. They haven't arrived yet. They are supposed to be here tomorrow. When I install them Ill let you know how they work. These exact ones might not be compatible with the 2014 but I would think they have the same ones for the 2014. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281108805443?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D281108805443%26_rdc%3D1

Bad key fob
DTSGUY replied to Brooke Robinson Baum's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Key Fobs, Locks & Remote Start
Try replacing the battery in the Key Fob. It might be dead and that will cause your Journey to not start. If that still doesn't work then yes you will need to tow your Journey to the dealership or you might find someone in your local area that knows how to reprogram Key Fobs and is mobile that can come to you. Good Luck. Please let us know how it goes. -
For me there are WAY too many to list but since summer is almost here and Im an 80's guy here is my pick for now.

I added Remote Start to my 2010 Journey on April 4th 2014. It works great. The parts that were used are listed bellow in the link. It works using my factory key fob. All I do is press my lock button 3 times and it starts and flashes the lights. I had it installed by a professional cause there are things that need to be done other than hooking up wires. He had to flash my key fob and you need software for your computer to do this. Im sure its available for anyone but I wanted it done right. He had to run a wire to my lights to make them flash and he added a kill switch to my hood as a precaution. You can add the Smart Start feature to it if you want to, this will allow you to use a smart phone to start your car and lock and unlock it. It can be done using Bluetooth or if you want to pay a yearly subscription of about $100.00 it will work over the cellular network. http://www.amazon.com/Directed-Electronics-Inc-DBALL2-Channels/dp/B00H2PHSY2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396729767&sr=8-1&keywords=dball+2 http://www.amazon.com/Directed-Electronics-CHTHD1-Wiring-Harness/dp/B00671E4F8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396728075&sr=8-1&keywords=chthd1

Anybody tried Viper's SmartSrart?
DTSGUY replied to Totemus's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Key Fobs, Locks & Remote Start
I added remote start to my 2010 Journey just yesterday (April 4th 2014) using the factory key fob. All I do is press the lock button 3 times and it starts and flashes the lights. The parts that were used are bellow in the link. I had it installed by a professional cause there are things that need to be done other than just hooking up wires. He had to Flash my key fob and you need software for your computer to do this. The software might be available for anyone but I just wanted it done right. He also tapped into my lights to make them flash when starting and he put a kill switch on the hood so that if the hood is open then the remote start wont work. Thats a safety precaution. You can also add the Smart Start feature to it so you can use a smart phone. It can be done using Bluetooth so you dont have to pay a yearly fee to go through the cellular network. Ill be adding this in the near future. http://www.amazon.com/Directed-Electronics-Inc-DBALL2-Channels/dp/B00H2PHSY2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396727800&sr=8-1&keywords=DBALL+2 http://www.amazon.com/Directed-Electronics-CHTHD1-Wiring-Harness/dp/B00671E4F8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396728075&sr=8-1&keywords=chthd1 -
If you look at the RPG you will see holes in the area that folds up, that area is the area that is behind the lift gate. If you look on your Journey in that same area you will see 4 or 5 clips that hold the top part of your bumper onto the car. Those are the clips that need to come off. When you remove them your bumper will not fall off it will just loosen the top part of your bumper. You will need to line up the RPG with the holes and that will center it right where it needs to be. Then reinsert the clips and your done. Since October when I installed mine it still looks brand new. No fading or scratching at all. Im still very happy with it. Its worth the money cause my bumper hasn't gotten scratched up.

ANYTHING that is a hard surface like plastic, metal, wood, ect. can have this done to it. Its a process called Hydro-graphics or Hydro-coating. Watch the video in the link bellow to see how its done. There might be a company in your area that does it. I was surprised to find one in my area. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHos4bf7vcA

Who would want to meet up and have a Journey Show Day and BBQ? We could all pitch in for food or Bring your own. If we plan it right we can make it a mini carnival with Bounce Houses for the kids and something for the wives. I don't know what cause I'm not a girl and I don't know what they would want to do. Sporting events like Base Ball, Volley Ball, Horse Shoe, ect..... Would be fun too. We could also plan for a Journey we could all take in our Journeys. If your interested let us know what State in the US your nominating and give us some ideas of things we could do. There isnt any set date this is just a discussion to see how many people would want to go. I nominate Colorado cause I live in Colorado or in Las Vegas Nevada during the SEMA Car show in early November.

I say we do it in Colorado!!.....Any where we do it is gonna be far for everyone except the person that lives in that state. Doing it during the big SEMA Car show in Las Vegas would be good too!! -
8 speakers?
DTSGUY replied to madtown28's topic in Audio, Infotainment Navigation, MyGig, UConnect, etc.
You did a nice detailed job on your Charger's audio system. Im getting ready to do mine in my Journey next weekend. Its gonna be 3 way components up front and 1 Rcokford Fosgate P3 10. Its gonna be powered by 2 amps. -
back speaker access
DTSGUY replied to solorave's topic in Audio, Infotainment Navigation, MyGig, UConnect, etc.
I would love to also but it depends on where its at. From what ive seen here most of the people are in Canada. -
I dont think the stripes on my Journey is what your talking about but see my pictures to see how I did mine.

Radio and iphone
DTSGUY replied to Normagal's topic in Audio, Infotainment Navigation, MyGig, UConnect, etc.
We pay more for Apple products so we dont have to purchase new ones every year or 2.... meaning they last and work when we need them to. And on top of that Apple rarely gets viruses. There are many other products on the market that dont work with Android but work just fine with Apple. This issue/conversation is a never ending battle. Apple and Android has there place in this world. The issue that Normagal is having isnt with Apple its with the radio in her Journey. She did say that her iPhone worked with her Durango. -

DTSGUY replied to solorave's topic in Audio, Infotainment Navigation, MyGig, UConnect, etc.
When you say side panel are you referring to the door panel? If so it an easy process...just a few screws and clips and it comes of easy. But I guess it depends on how handy you are. Subwoofers require an amplifier. If your trying to add a sub without adding an amp it wont work. The OEM amp might have an output for a sub. You will need to check into that. It your trying to tap into the rear speaker wires to add a sub the amp wont be able to handle the ohm load drop and you will probably harm the amp. There are ways to use the OEM radio even with aftermarket amps. I would recommend going to your local Car Audio store and ask them how it can be done. This is one reason why I dont like the newer Journeys. All the electronics in the vehicle are operated through the OEM radio and adding an aftermarket system is more difficult for a DIY person. Everything else especially the 3.6 Pentastar motor is far better on the newer Journeys though. -
Your Journey looks fantastic...I love it. My lights are getting done right now minus the projectors.

Blacktop headlamps
DTSGUY replied to travis9935's topic in Glass, Lighting, Mirrors, Sun Roofs & Wipers
The process is easy if you watch a video of it on you tube however 2 things might become an issue. 1.The paint may not stick to the chrome clad so you would need to make sure the paint process is done correctly. 2.Putting the lights back together is easy but making sure they are completely sealed may be difficult for some people. This is why I wanted to have it done by a professional. No im not having them do anything else to my lights. Ive already done an HID conversion myself. I thought about having Halo's or projection done also but that is way to pricy for me. -
Blacktop headlamps
DTSGUY replied to travis9935's topic in Glass, Lighting, Mirrors, Sun Roofs & Wipers
Ive done lots of research on this and I haven't found anyone selling them other than occasionally at a salvage yard or private seller on ebay. I did find a place online www.blackflamecustoms.com Ive talked to them and they are very knowledgeable in this process. My lights are at their shop right now getting done. Ill post some pictures when I get them back. -
If you get another grill from another year it will fit. Even the 2014 grill is the same as the 2009 as far as the fit.

Welcome, Ive had my 2010 Journey since June of 2013 and I haven't stopped doing Mods to it. Its so addicting. I did the Hypertech Computer Tuner and it was well worth it. Some appearance mods and I'm gonna do my audio system here soon. Ive already purchased some equipment....its sitting around waiting to be installed. I'm also gonna bite the bullet and get some new wheels even though I said I wasnt gonna do it this time around. My front lights are in the shop getting blacked out right now. Theres more to come I'm sure. I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures.
