Review on Enhance Your Ride: PAC BCI-CH21 Backup Camera/Navigation Unlock Interface for Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/RAM Vehicles by Boondo Viswanathan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect and inexpensive replacement for an old lock pick that has failed on my 2011 Dodge Ram.

Excellent product. Installed on my 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 after an old lockpick V.4 failed. And that for about half the cost of a new lock pick. The same functionality I used in Lockpick is provided i.e. rear view camera and WEIGHT. I couldn't be happier. Installation was easy. The old pick had a yellow wire from a non-switchable power supply. The PAC unit didn't provide a source for this, but I cut the yellow wire and plugged it back in, along with my phone's charger, which I wanted to have when the car was off. It works just like Lockpick. The PAC box also didn't have the original ground wire but I cut the main black wire and reconnected it to ground for any other connections I need like rear camera, two video signals. rear seat displays as well as a small video amplifier that I needed for the video displays. As with the lockpick he replaced, it was an atypical install, but still easy and completed in less than two hours, including downloading programming software for additional leads. Interesting side story. I emailed Lockpick and was wondering if I could replace the old V.4 with a version that just plugs into the existing V.4 harness so I don't have to redo everything. After that I found a PAC block on Revain that I had never heard of before. I studied it and ordered it. It was delivered two days later on REMEMBRANCE DAY and by the end of the holiday I had it installed. Lockpick finally responded to my email the next morning. I thanked them anyway, but they replied a bit late.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Good but not great
