Not reliable for vehicle electronics

I bought this for my 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. In total, the installation took about 3 hours with a reversing camera. The hardest part was routing the wires. I had issues with it sometimes not returning to the home screen after turning it off. Other times it has a backup image the first time and when I drive for a while and turn it back on there is no image. When it works it's great, but it hasn't been reliable for me. I did a firmware update so I don't know if that might mess it…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Minor issues

You can watch DVDs while driving r

I only bought this to use music DVDs while driving, it works, it was easy to install. I used it in my 2014 Jeep Wrangler, everything was just plug and play. It worked great, the only thing was that it took enough time to figure out how to use it. I have connected everything you use to the steering wheel controls to unlock front or rear features for my jeep. It was the buttons on the back of the steering wheel. Everything worked great. I would recommend it to anyone with a Dodge or Jeep. Just…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Installed in 2009. Challenger SRT8 - Manual Transmission

I used the PAC BCI-CH21 interface unit to display the backup camera image on the factory radio screen. The only thing to note is that if you have a manual gearbox, you need to download the interface box with the initial version of the firmware (V1.1.2). I only use the rear camera function, so I can't say how well other functions work with this firmware V1.1.2. I used the camera sold here at Revain: https://www.amazon.com/gp. /product/B015Q78KSU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1This…

Pros
  • Inspires Confidence
Cons
  • Low Serviceability

Best option for jeep backup camera, nav unlock and video in motion

I bought this for my 2015 Jeep Wrangler JKU. This is by far the easiest option for adding a backup camera, disabling nav lock on the go, and adding another video source to your Jeep. No dealer flash required. I was offered $800 to install by two different installers. I've never done anything like this, but YouTube has tons of videos on how to remove the dash and radio (very easy), and some Jeep forums show how to install a backup camera (easy but time consuming to wire). The total assembly time

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Available in white only

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…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Good but not great

It will be a bit difficult at the beginning but be patient and work on it.

I started this whole radio upgrade process with an expensive Kenwood deck, installed everything to find the new radios' user interface is crappy and ugly and the sound quality in comparison one of the awful is the factory base deck without the touchscreen it replaced so i ripped it all apart and bought a half price rbz-430 factory touchscreen deck off ebay from kenwood and installed it in my car. The only thing missing was the functionality of a rear camera, but thanks to this kit this is no…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from the testers

Does not work on all vehicles listed. Didn't work on 2012 SRT Challenger.

Great idea but DEFINITELY DOES NOT WORK as advertised. I bought it primarily to add a backup camera to my 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 6 speed manual transmission which has a factory 730N RHR head unit. Other reasons I bought it were that NAV addresses (passengers) can be entered while the vehicle is in motion and the ability to watch videos (for passengers) while driving. I have followed the instructions in the email and not only am I unable to perform any backup or other functions, my head unit

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Works well in CanBUS B and C vehicles

Sorry I didn't take a picture of this when I installed it. But here is the situation. I installed the first one in my 2016 Grand Caravan AVP so I can have rear view camera video on my RBZ430 MyGIG wireless screen. I have a 128 gigabyte super high definition front and rear video recording system in my van which I also bought from Revain and it also has a backup camera function. But it shows an image in the rearview mirror that's sometimes hard to see. Okay, this is very easy to install on both…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Hard to say
