Hi guys,
I bought my Freemont "ready" equipped. It is an Urban and has the DVD package also. What I miss is the rear camera since the sight backwards is not that good and we have a lot of kids around which makes me a little worried. I have done some investigation on the Dodge Journey forum and it seems two ways to solve this. One is using the Lockpick C8 module which locks up the camera functions + some other functions. See installation video below.

The price of the Lockpick C8 on ebay is about USD260 which I find reasonable + the cost for the camera which was 30USD

The other one is a more complex modul ( and pretty costly USD1600 ) which also adds navigation without changing the original 8.4" screen.

Both alternatives means that you have to route a cable from the rear up to the instrument panel. According to instructions I found that very complex where you have to tear down "half of the car". I have ordered a wireless kit from ebay ( have not recieved it yet ) and hope it will do the job

I am still waiting for the Lockpick and the wireless so it will be interesting to see if it will work out as intended.
Do we have some experiences here from a similar installation or other solutions?
Happy new year
Henrik
