Review on πŸ“· EWAY Backup Reverse Camera: Waterproof License Plate Rear View Camera for Jeep Wrangler 2007-2018 by Zachary Spaulding

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great addition to my Jeep and was easy to install.

Perfect solution for my OEM radio and was very easy to install. Other Parts You Will Need: - Wiring Harness / RED WOLF for Jeep 2007-2019 Adapter - OBD2 Scanner / Veepeak Mini Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner. - OBD Jscan App/Jeep JK License - This scanner and the one above allow you to program a standard radio to use the camera. Tools needed: - Phillips screwdriver - Trim remover - Pliers - Ratchet set Install on my Jeep: 1. Remove the driver's side taillight and license plate bracket2. Replace the license plate light housing with the new housing and camera, route the wires through the license plate housing and attach to the existing wires. Fishing to tail light3. From the tail light harness, connect the red camera wire to the white wire with the gray stripe4. Connect the black ground wire from the camera to the black wire in the tail light harness.5. The Fish video camera cable is routed through the rubber grommet between the taillight wiring harness and into the interior of the jeep, cutting a small hole6. Fish out the video cable from under the carpet to the car dashboard.7. Remove the dashboard trim for the radio and video cables to the radio housing8. Install 3rd party wiring harness and connect video cable9. Ignore the red wire10. Use OBD2 scanner with OBD-jscan app and licenses to turn on the camera.11. Check by engaging reverse gear. 12. Close everything and enjoy. A full installation takes 45 minutes to an hour. ** I had an issue with only getting a black screen. It turned out to be a loose negative wire connection on the rear taillight. Restart and the problem was fixed immediately. Also use the support of the company, Emma was very helpful in pointing me in the right direction.
