Hi! We used a prying tool to lift the trim, t20 torque bit to loosen from dash and a small philips screwdriver. Also a small flathead is great for separating the radio from the digitizer!
Just installed our replacement glass. Thank you for the helpful video. I never woulda thought of replacing just the digitizer before I watched this video.
Oh my gosh that was so easy. I’ve been avoiding it because I was worried that I’d break something. Your video was the best out of 6 that I watched the guys already has staged their stuff and didn’t help really. Your video is wonderful
Easy to follow video. I was able to replace the busted touch screen from this tutorial alone having no previous experience at all. The glass in my setup was harder to remove than what was shown here so be patient and careful out there! I did need to use acetone to remove the old adhesive residue as well, but otherwise it was an in line process step for step. Thank you for sharing the knowledge! I saved a ton of money purchasing the part on amazon and doing the work myself.
I followed these instructions. Just some comments: You need the gloves when you remove the old broken glass. Have some acetone or goo be gone handy to remove the double sided tape from the broken glass. With the cables on the "monitor", if you feel you have to force the clamps, the cable is likely not seated properly. Take your time (took me 2 hours), and you can save yourself a lot of money. Thank you for posting and good luck.
Im from Australia so parts for my Dodge Journey are expensive here. I definitely will be trying to fix it myself before taking it anywhere. Thanks for the vid, so helpful.
Is it hard to do the same thing happened to mine? It’s a 2019 Dodge Journey crossroads but the screen looks the same so I’m hoping if I buy it that I can do it what kind of parts did you buy?
@Themoparmom - Thank you for posting this video. I have the same vehicle with the same issue regarding the cracked screen. Are you happy with the new screen? Is it exactly like the screen that was in the car originally?
Thanks for the video. My screen is not cracked but it won't work when the weather is cold. Only works when during the summer. Any ideas what that could be? Do I need to replace the whole thing?
Hi there, can’t wait to see if this works for me! I will love you forever 🥰 One question, did you disconnect the battery? I’m assuming I don’t have to since there’s no touching live or bare wires, just plugs. My dodge journey has the battery underneath the wheel, so I cant do this in my driveway if I have to disconnect the battery. 😒
Good video but you skip out thr most difficult part of removing the digitizer from the screen. I found Heating the adhesive using a hair dryer worked well.
The link to the one I purchased is in the description! Hope that helps! If it’s not the right size just look up the digitizer on eBay in the correct size
Says the guy who takes his cars to the shop lmfao did you have to ask the mechanic what the tool was called? Probably doesn’t even know what a triple square is lmfao gtfoh

It was so easy, a little time consuming but worth it! Glad you liked the video !
Just bought the screen. Mechanics wanted to charge me 3k for this fix. The screen was $50. I hope this works, thanks!

Just fixed my screen. Thank you for this. 😊
Glad it helped! ☺️
It's amazing how i ran across this video and my screen is cracked exactly like yours.... my screen cracked mysteriously. Thanks for the video
Small world, Hope it was helpful for you!
Thank you for making the video! I hope I can fix my journey’s stereo
No problem, hope it makes fixing a bit easier for you!
Where did you get the screen I don’t want to order wrong one for my journey
Excellent video! We got it done.
Hey thanks for the video helped me out a lot. Only issue I have is you can still see the metal alittle around the screen any one have this issue?
Thanks for your video it really helped a lot now I can fix my girls doge.
Do you know where I can find a replacement screen and greenboard. I broke off something on the board and don't know if it'll affect anything
This is also the same digitizer that is used in the 2019 models as well.
one of the orange strips, the tiny one fell out but still goes in, will it still work?
Just hooked mine up thank you for the steps
Glad it helped! 😊

Yes it works just the same as the original did but I feel that fingerprints appear a little easier.
I replaced my digitizer, but touch screen still doesn't work. Trying to find answers to what I need to do next?
Thanks for the video. You saved me a ton of money. Oh, and thanks for music instead of telling your life story like other “how to” videos!
Thanks for the video. My screen is not cracked but it won't work when the weather is cold. Only works when during the summer. Any ideas what that could be? Do I need to replace the whole thing?
Seems like it could be a wiring issue. If all the touchscreen works at times I’d recommend taking it to Dodge!

I plugged everything back in after changing the screen and now the screen doesn’t come on
Yo please help me out where do you order the screen replacement from mine is the 2011 Dodge Durango you connect any help be greatly appreciated

I literally just bought a whole new display unit and came on TH-cam just to find out all I needed was the glass 😂
I thought the same but when I was looking the part up found the screen luckily!
@@Thealanawhite the good part is I know a guy so I got the unit pretty cheap so I’m not upset as much as I am embarrassed lol
@@1jwardy83 no need to be embarrassed, it’s a lot easier than fixing the screen. 🥴
Did this and it responds to my touch but the screen is black and wont show anythjng
Where did you order your screen from ??
The exact screen I purchased is linked in the description!
Can you let me know where to get the replacement screen
I put the one that I bought In the description but if you look up 8.4” digitizer you should be able to find a bunch!
Donde lo puedo comprar
Where can I find the part
Hi, the link to the exact part that I purchased is in the description! ☺️
👍🏽
Sorry how would I know if my LCD is broken?
The radio wouldn’t be readable, likely would look like lines. If just cracked & unable to use touchscreen it’s just the digitizer!
@@Thealanawhite ohkay thanks mine is completely black now
@@JGIII95 yes you would need to replace the whole radio
Hey could y’all fix mines and I’ll pay.
I replaced my screen but it won’t select anything I touch
your LCD screen may be damaged
This is not a complete video
Lmfao calls it a torque bit 😂
It’s called a TORX bit hun
My bad, but when you google torque bit it still shows up doesn’t it? Who taught you to be so rude?
Says the guy who takes his cars to the shop lmfao did you have to ask the mechanic what the tool was called? Probably doesn’t even know what a triple square is lmfao gtfoh
