arsh Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Hello all, I just bought my journey sxt 2013, I have RHA radio with 4.3 screen and no bluetooth. I wanted the uconnect 8.4 with bluetooth but nothing was available, so I had to pick what was available. Now I am thinking to upgarde the screen to 8.4 and add the bluetooth, I read the other posts regarding the upgrade but most of them are 2012 or earlier models. My question is, is it possible to do the upgrade on 2013 model and if yes, do I need the same parts like other users are mentioning. Thank you for the help.

chavo60 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I dont see why not.... the vehicles are pretty much the same between 2012 & 2013 with the exception of some cosmetic upgrades. Upgrading your system should be the same as outlined for the 2012 model. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsh Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Thank you chavo60, that's good news. I will start looking the other threads about similar upgrades and try to find parts from auto wreckers. Any other input will be appreciated.

Thank you for the help. arsh, There are no kits available to upgrade to the 8.4 as of yet and going to a junk yard to pull a head unit out of a 2012 isn't going to work as the modules aren't the same. You best option is to make contact with the Parts Dept at your locale dealer and let them know of your intentions and they will let you know when the kit is available. The only way you would have be able to have the 8.4 is with a factory order at this time. Sorry for the bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsh Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Thank you Denny, may I ask what is the reason for not being able to upgrade. Is it because of physical interface like connectors between RHA and RB5 radio it self or some sort of software/firmware differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
