Review on Brandmotion 9002-8847 Rear Vision System: Adjustable Mount Camera for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK with Factory Display Radio by Robert Demissie

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy installation - a necessary safety feature!

Having just bought a 2014 Wrangler JK I knew the first thing I wanted to do was make a backup camera. We live in an area with lots of young children and the safety factor alone made this a must. Our other cars have cameras and they're good for many other reasons, plus the Jeep has a pretty pathetic rear view with a small window and a spare tire on the way. Rearview mirror, but then found this Brandmotion kit. Everything you need is included and installation was easy for me. I attached the camera to the bracket behind the spare tire and pulled the wiring forward. There's a great video on You Tube about disassembling the dashboard, so it was pretty easy. I then installed a Quadratech power supply (stock no. 96080.9801) to power the unit using a dongle. This eliminates the need to cut or splice wires, and I also connect a ham radio to it. I have to admit I was worried about the programming part, but it couldn't be easier. I just turned the key, plugged in the programmer, and a few seconds later my horn blew and you were done. The picture is top notch, better than my F-150 factory photo and about the same as my wife's Subaru rear view photo. I am fully satisfied with the whole set. Now I have the camera right on my screen with very little work. In fact, the hardest part of the entire installation was fitting the spare tire! For less than $350, this is a must-have safety feature for any JK owner.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen
