I installed this one last week on my 13 Rubicon with the Nav head unit and am happy with the results: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0882S8L3L

Plugs right into the back of the radio and comes with all parts needed.

Nighttime quality is a bit grainy.

Bought JSCAN and a bluetooth adapter separately to enable the camera.

Did you buy an OEM JSCAN or 3rd party ? if 3rd party what brand?

thank you

 

I used a "Brandmotion" kit.
Nice kit, great camera.

 

I have never had to plug in the module to update the jeep (radio) was there any issues with the Brandmotion kit ?

 

Kit fit on no problem. I did pick up a camera extension cable as it was too tight for my liking from the mount to the harness inside.
I used Jscan to activate

 

thanks much !

 

👍

 

what about being able to disconnect when removing a tire. That's my problem with all them no outside connectors

 

Mine mounts behind the spare on the tire mount itself and looks through the spokes. It has nothing to do with the spare tire at all.

Indeed, most are done this way.

 

It stays on when you remove the spare

 

mine is a license mount. maybe I will try to make a copy bracket that is spare mountable

 

Mine is homemade. Not too hard.... a 3" L bracket, a bit of copper pipe, and a 3.25" bolt. I just screwed it to the tire carrier where the cam will line up with the spokes.

 

Back up camera or rearview camera?

Back up only works in reverse. This works all the time and has a front and rear dash cam in it. Really like it.

FullVUE® Rear Camera Mirror for Jeep Wrangler (JK/JL) / Gladiator (JT) 2007-2021 FVMR-8886 - Brandmotion

 

This is the way I want to go. This brand or the one that Quadratec sells (name escapes me right now).

Still happy with this one?

How was installation? It doesn't look too bad.

 

I use the rear dashcam as a live backup camera with iPad.

 

Yes, I still like it. It sure makes lane changes easier. Install isn't any more difficult than a normal backup camera. You still need to tap into the reverse lights, I have a 7-way trailer plug-in, so I tapped into the reverse on it instead of the light harness. Find always on power for the camera and recorders and tap into it. I tapped into my AUX fuse box that I installed for other items. Also tap into a keyed power so the mirror will go off when the key is off. This way the cameras will record if the vehicle moved and the inertia switch is set off. The only major thing is removing the mirror and running the wiring up the passenger side A pillar. Instructions were easy to follow. I would still recommend it to others that want more than a back up camera. Just do a search on YouTube if you want more info.
