Believe it, you don't have any problem with two people in the back seat. My model is a 5+2 seating, so I need to test this with people in the third row. I took this model the way it was not knowing, as it stands right now from all the Dodge dealers that I've search the inventory here in Connecticut, that I have a fully loaded version. So far I have not seen a Journey with onboard Navigation. Mine does not have Navigation, so I use the Garmin and thats ok. I like the UConnect (great with my bluetooth phone) and Voice Recognition (similar to Ford's Sync). Also the 1-year free Sirius. 4X's longer than other car companys that offer XM. Havinf fun with the touch system on the radio and have already updated the software and Gracenotes to the latest versions. No complaints here.

 

We have had ours for a week and love it so far. Only thing that drives me crazy is that I can't figure out how to program the channels for Sirius. I figured out how to do it on the AM/FM side but not the Sat.Can't find the info in the owners manual.

 

Mine set the same way as am/fm.

 

When you are in SAT mode, you have a the choice of seeing the "LIST" of all the SAT stations or the "PRESET" list. On my REN system I had stumbled on the option to turn on the "PRESET" list. Here's were to find it.1) Be in SAT mode. 2) Press the "MENU" button. 3) On the screen you should see a selection "PRESET LIST", press it to select (check mark). 4) Press "MENU" button. 5) You should be bact to SAT, then press "LIST". Now you should see the blank presets ready to be programmed. Hope this helps.

 

To set the presets on sat., just turn it to the station you want it on, then make sure you have the list on (not the "dodge" badge), and hold down the preset you want. It takes about 5 seconds, but then it automatically sets it.

 

I got mine May 13 and I really like it. We actually traded in a 2004 Durango Limited with a Hemi and a 2002 Ram 1500. We decided to go to one vehicle and we were really impressed by the Journey. We got the R/T with AWD and it has everything we need without a bunch of useless stuff to jack up the price tag. We also based our decision partially on the 2.99 gas guarantee. There are only 2 negatives: getting used to not having the Hemi (LOL) and our Journey did not have the radio-specific manual in it. The dealership had no idea that there was a separate manual b/c we were the first ones to buy one and they hadn't finished their training on it yet. The vehicle is so new that we can't download it either. Also, we got the myGIG with the backup camera and there is ANOTHER manual for the Navigation (including the camera feature). Again, it was not in the car and we got blank stares from the dealership.

 

I bought an SXT last week for my wife. I was surprised at the amount of options we could get on the "mid-level" base model. Inexpensive compares to other SUV/crossovers with the same stuff. So far she loves it. Getting about 20/gal so far.

 

We've had ours for 3 weeks now and absolutely love it. We saw the commercial for it on a Friday night. Went to see it and test drive it on Sat then bought it Sunday.Anyway, has anyone uploaded any pictures to the MyGig? If so, have you been able to upload more than just 8 pictures???

I picked up my Journey 3/21, currently has 4400 miles on it. Wondering if anyone is having any issues with theirs. Other then the recent recall of course.
