Works on my 2009 JK 2-Door

from JK Owners Forum Post. I have a 2009 Wrangler Rubicon 2 door with a fold down tire carrier. All of a sudden I barely had enough wire for my 2nd door as I had misplaced the wire. (I will post pics) This works great for my stock uConnect radio with rear subwoofer. However, the directions are bad. You need to connect the camera's power and ground, so ideally you should crimp some of the connections. It's not 100% plug and play. In addition, it was extremely difficult to pack all the wiring…

Pros
  • Reversing Camera Makes Reversing Easier: Works even in low light, this camera has selectable parking guidelines for extra control in hard-to-reach areas
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Not worth the money

The product has some very nice features. Parking lines, GPS unlocking, built in tail video programming, etc. Everything worked great after installation and I was very happy with it. After about a week, the camera began to work intermittently, and then stopped altogether. I contacted the manufacturer and they said the camera was defective and I could send them the defective camera and they would send me a new one (and this was at my expense and would have taken two weeks to fix). Why did the…

Directions are terrible. Did some research on the internet to start with.

Upgraded from 1 star to 3 stars: Original message "Can't get started. The BCI-CH21 appears to be LED based and that was an issue for me. However, when I rotate the jeep backwards the screen appears black as if the camera is not receiving power. I may have damaged the cable while driving. Additional bug fixes. I will update the review later but the directions are pretty bad. I found 2 errors in the directions and checked the page and misunderstood them too. The first error is a conflict in the…

DO NOT BUY! - Auto and automotive electronics

If I could give zero stars I would. Before we even get to the quality of the items, the "manual" with the instructions it contains is a joke at best. This is the wrong guide especially if you are new to the installation. Aside from the lack of instructions, the actual quality of the product is mediocre. One of the connectors on the PAC just fell off and when I tried to plug it back in, the whole blue case fell apart as well. If that isn't enough, then the actual wiring that connects to the…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some small things

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • 0

The system is easy to install and works very well after turning on the camera. Unfortunately, the instructions do not include the steps to turn on the camera! See below for correct connection instructions: 1) In step 6, connect the yellow and black RCA cables (female) to the yellow and black RCA cables on the extension cable. 2) Connect the yellow RCA (male) input of the extension cable to the yellow RCA (female) connector labeled Camera on the radio side of the harness. 3) Connect the red wire

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Moderate
