Felix A. Nunez Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I purchased a 2014 Dodge Journey SXT Blacktop about three weeks ago. So Far, I'm loving it but I really want a back-up camera for it since mine didn't come with that option. I looked on the official Mopar site and saw that I can purchase one from them ($305) that'll hook up straight to my Uconnect 8.4. Does anyone know what the average labor costs would be for such a task? I'd like to say I could do the work myself but frankly, I wouldn't know where to begin. maqua 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 the dodge dealer did my 2011 for$90. total and if you do it yourself you will still have to take it to the dealer so they can add the sales code or flash your car and i have been told they charge $50. for that. so for a little more let them do it. now that said i traded in my 2011 for a 14 crossroad and needed a backup put in it and then the same dealer said he wanted $150 to do it , so i said forget it, i got a little loud with them about buying a new car from them and being a loyal returning car buyer from them and turned to leave and the service manager came after me and said he would do it for the $90. so i had it done. so call around to different dealers checking their labor chartge for doing it they all charghe different prices good luck....

2late4u Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 go to http://www.leeparts.com and enter your info on your journey and then click mopar then click electrical then scroll down to back up cam retail $305 discounted price $ 265 which is a good deal ask your dealer to match this price or you could prob buy it yourself and get them to install or do it youyrself as it is all easy plug and play but you have to run the cable from the hatch to the front and then have to have dealer do their flash to complete the job. i am retired from chry. and get 25 off parts so my cost on the cam was 228. from the dealer plus the 90 to install.. works great and comes with 12/12000 mile warranty..

aukfan33 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Will the production camera work with the RB5 without having to get a lockpick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 if you go to the website above (leeparts.com) and click on the backup cam part it will tell you which radios it will work with. do like i did before i had the parts man order it i gave him my vin # and he checked and said yes it will work with your radio that way any problems come up i can say your parts guy said it was compatabile with my radio. this cam only works with certin radios.... also i did not order thur this web site i went thur my dealership that i use and bought my journey from. good luck as i really like my rear cam when backing up....

speedymmx Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 You can do it your self but if you're still under warranty is better to have the dealer do it $450 parts and labour included, otherwise it will take you about 2 hours and you still need to take the car to the dealer to flash the sales code for the rear cam.
