drb227 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Welcome! As far as I know, the integrated child boosters are not standard on any model. It is a separate $200 option. Most definitely available in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not listed on the Canadian Dodge website, but they are in the Canada Sales Brochure. Also I believe some CDN members have them. I would have ordered them for my R/T but in Feb. the sales brochure was not available and the options list on the website is really lacking accurate information including options.

geurny2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I have to agree with DRB , I do believe it is an option (if available in Canada) My salesman didn't even mention them to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender007 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 It wasn't in the brochure or website at the time but when I ordered mine from my friend he had the option in is system, it was a 200$ option that I added along with the 8.4" screen and 300$ uConnect that should have been standard with the 8.4" screen but that's another story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geurny2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 very interested in hearing that other story ( u connect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender007 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 The story is a lot of dealers ordered the 8.4" screen thinking the connect was part of it but it's not. Lots of people were complaining that it wasn't there but the dealers didn't know you had to take the u connect portion at 300$ to have the voice commands and Bluetooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geer Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) The story is a lot of dealers ordered the 8.4" screen thinking the connect was part of it but it's not. Lots of people were complaining that it wasn't there but the dealers didn't know you had to take the u connect portion at 300$ to have the voice commands and Bluetooth I'm pretty cheesed off about this (along with many other people). My Journey's not in yet, but I ordered the $750 NAV add-on to the 8.4, thinking I'd be getting bluetooth and voice command because that's included in the 8.4N spec in the sales brochure. The online spec for my ordered car says "wireless connectivity" is included, but I have this lousy feeling there will be no VC or Bluetooth when it arrives. And that's when I'll be calling the Chrysler Customer Care Line!! Edited April 14, 2011 by Geer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armendegga Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Yep, sales person up here thought that it came with Bluetooth and VC, but of course it didn't. It did come with the booster seats as a $200 option though. Not that I really have use for those right now. I am hoping that there will be some kind of an add on or after market adapter that will allow it to interface with the Uconnect system, but we'll see.

SaskGuy Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Did anyone notice that they changed the name of the "Uconnect 8.4n" to "Radio: Garmin Navigation" on the Dodge.ca website when building a journey????? !!!!! I guess they realize that they made a mistake.... Now to see how well they stand behind their mistake. If it weren't for one knowlegeable salesman, I wouldnt have ordered it either.

No matter, I've got this stacked against them. 1) online vehicle build sheet is showing "wireless connectivity" and 2) sales brochure says "Uconnect voice command and bluetooth" when ordering 8.4N. I'm going to demand it's installed if it shows up without it! I don't think the dealership will risk me walking out over a $300 add-on (knowing their cost is actually less). And they can pin it on Chrysler as well, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geurny2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I just hope when they get around to installing it they have it done by someone who knows what they are doing. The service manager from my dealership told me that they had never done that type of install there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panjourn Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 What about the integrated booster seats? I'm trying to search for a used 2009+ Journey. But looking through 100's of internet classifieds, I don't see a single vehicle listing with this feature. Can I look for some other feature that the boosters are tied in with?

Armendegga Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 For mine it wasn't listed as a part of a package that I remember, it was just listed on its own as a $200 option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojanglespa Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Integrated child booster seats is deffinately an option. I just purchased a 2012 Journey R/T and I ordered one without the seats as they were more comfortable to sit on than the ones with the boosters. The dealership had Journey's with both styles and I preferred the seats with out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
