diymirage Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 Evening gents, I just picked my wife up a 2018 journey (because, apparently the pursuit charger I'd bought her instead a "mom car") So far I'm liking it, but the picture from the back up camera is a bit grainy I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way, so, what is the generally accepted upgrade ? The head unit is the 8.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 (edited) the picture should NOT be grainy, you probably have a wire problem somewhere along the way, make sure the camera lens is clean and not covered with any substance as well Edited September 7 by 2late4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diymirage Posted September 7 Author Report Share Posted September 7 i cant imagine the wiring would be chewed up or anything, its a pretty clean looking vehicle (of course that dont mean nothing) the most logical place for a wiring issue to occur would be where it enters the chassis when the tailgate opens, no? ill see what the picture looks like with the tailgate open, and ill give the lens a good cleaning, ill report back later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 yes that rubber boot is where MOST of problems is due to the thin ass wires dodge used is the weak spot for breaking or shorting out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diymirage Posted September 8 Author Report Share Posted September 8 well, i inspected the camera best i could, and popped the trunk, wiggled the wiring, didnt find anything concerning so i went ahead and ordered a replacement camera, should get here wednesday, so stay tuned folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
