Pros & Cons
Pros
The camera and spare tire mounting bracket all look like to be quality. It mounting to the spare wheel is great, although you will need to be careful while putting the spare back on so you won't scrape it.
The wiring harness has the ability to tap into power at the front near the radio or in the rear. There’s a red wire that comes out of the rca plug which connects to the head unit via supplied adapter. Jeep wranglers have a reverse signal wire in their... Read More
Obd2 scanner can be used with the jscan app to enable rear backup camera on the factory 430n stereo. You need a license to upgrade the radio to enable the backup camera.
Red/blk power leads at either end of the camera cable to power the camera for a quick test. Unplug and place some painters tape over the camera lens to protect it. Tape up the other unused wires to prevent any chance of a short later on.
The sahara has a little more plastic trim in the back, so that complicates things just a little bit. Works great in my 2014 wrangler jk. My 2016 wrangler sahara has the stock aluminum wheels and the stock touch radio with navigation.
Cons
The camera is faulty. Installation is a big gamble. The instructions are very poor.
Highlights
Quality
Very impressed with the quality of the kit
Picture quality is better than my previous camera and likely only limited by your head units screen
I got a little annoyed with the wiring so i just took it to a shop
I used the harness with the 2 wires to the side not the one with the wires in the middle
Price
My 2016 wrangler sahara has the stock aluminum wheels and the stock touch radio with navigation
Packaging/appearance
It was very simple to tap the cig lighter wires using the supplied t wire taps in the packaging
I used a deep socket to help push the retainer washers that came in the kit onto the studs on the the spare tire mount
Then set up the odb2 scanner and purchase a license to upgrade the radio to enable the backup camera 21
Competitiveness
Like most of these reviews this was very doable and i upgraded our 2017 jeep jku factory uconnect radio in a few hours
Easy to install less expensive than the dealer
I downloaded a third party jeep programmer and a bluetooth obd2 connection interface
I purchased the veepeak obdcheck ble obd2 bluetooth scanner from amazon for 32

I definitely wanted to make sure no wiring was visible to keep the factory oem look

Whichever method you chose just tape up and tuck away the connectors on the opposite end

I figured there may be less of a delay probably not even enough to be measurable though when bringing up the camera feed if the camera already had power from the vehicle being on compared to if power was supplied when reverse was initiated

Testing the camera to make sure it worked taping the cig lighter wires running the wires from front to back installing the camera and putting back all the trim the whole process from start to finish took around 2 hours and only set me back around 100
