Review on Alpine Electronics HCE TCAM1 WRA 2007 Up Wrangler by Chris Horton

Great addition to the New 2017 Jeep JKU I chose this option over some others because I really liked the extra brake light as well as the backup light. The reversing light makes a huge difference in nighttime visibility and is as bright as a flashlight. It doesn't have the green/yellow/red lines that other dashcams have, but neither do my mirrors.

I had to cancel a small job when my estimate of the sag was about 1 inch shorter. If you are using a camera input harness, you may need a small RCA patch cord to extend the length (male to female or female). , depending on where you ground the cable. I used a ring terminal to connect the ground to the last screw behind the passenger cowl and the camera harness wire was too short for the way I wanted to route the wire.
