How to add a backup camera and a new radio to your Jeep Wrangler

[@andyrivero5236]

Great video, but where did you get power for the back up camera

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

Great, great job guys. That super Pro touch putting the mic in the factory location, when I had a radio installed a few years ago they stuck it in the easiest place for them to put it and not necessarily the best place for it but they were somewhat of a jackleg shop anyway. I was just in a hurry at the time and wanted it done "now" Haha. live and learn. I ended up pulling the radio out not long after that anyway.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Tim datoolman yeah we do that by request only, sometimes it does not work out so good. You can get a hollow tin can sound sometimes. We are going to edit that part into a standalone video. There were a couple of steps we cut for time and people always ask about doing this.

[@StacyStockton]

Thank you for this video. I used it step by step to install an AVH-4200NEX and a backup camera in a Wrangler JKU tonight. I would have been lost, so I appreciate it very much. One question I do have is, what do you do with the open space between the window controls and the bottom of the head unit when the faceplate is removed? I have a big open gap on the bottom when I remove the faceplate. I'm worried about it when I have the top off, the faceplate off, and it gets caught out in a rainstorm. It only happened one time last summer, but it happens.

[@brettm639]

Thanks for doing this as it is perfect for my situation. I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler and will soon be changing the radio to the 4200nex and adding a backup camera. I was thinking about using the idatalink maestro though and was wondering why you chose the pac brand instead?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Brett M to start we use and sell both. I personally like the PAC because it works, it just works. Not saying the maestro does not, but.... I know people love the tire pressure and gauges for about 5 minutes after we put them in but then they never use them again. The maestro idea is definitely the future, but not everyone needs it. Some people just want it to work.

[@brettm639]

Five Star Car Stereo Ok thanks that makes sense. Can you give me the correct model number I would need for my 2015 Wrangler with the factory Alpine system please. Also what other parts I will need to avoid any surprises.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Brett M you will need the RP4-chy11 harness, the USB-gm1 USB adapter. The Sat-1 if you are keeping XM( also the sxv300). The baa23 antenna adapter. The Metra 95-6511 dash kit.

[@DavidsOutdoors]

Five Star Car Stereo how does the baa23 adapter work with this install. is it a female part thar connects to the vehicles antenna cable (that part needs a male to go into the HU)?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

David Ordaz you want the baa22 to plug into the radio, not the 23

[@slyslug88]

is the rp4-ch11 enough to retain steering wheel controls or do I need to get one of those Maestro RR as well?

[@pawpatina]

My question The harness has a blue but there is no wire on the factory connector side that the blue wire connects to. can't get the amp to turn on so no sound... any idea how to connect to the amp? says i have the can bus model... 2010 JK with factory amp, but i also have a five wire connector that went to the back of the factory radio

[@Fastblack83]

Thanks for the Video! The mic mounting location is perfect and I followed your steps exactly. Works great!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Eddie Chavez very cool, glad we could help.

[@gamecock2465]

I have a 2007 Jeep Liberty that I plan on installing a Pioneer AVH 1300NEX in. Would this mount work for my Liberty?

[@steve.newcomb]

Great video. I just did almost the same install on my jeep only I used a different backup camera and I used a maestro interface. With the 4200nex "im assuming that's the radio" how do you find a happy medium so that you can turn the radio to full volume without distortion. Also do they make a harness that would allow me to use the factory subwoofer if I was to do a five channel amp and new components?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Steve Newcomb yes we used the 4200, the volume in these with the factory amp is hard to work with. There is no harness that I have found yet, but a 5 channel amp can power up the factory sub just fine. Bypassing the the factory amp and adding new speakers is totally worth doing.

[@steve.newcomb]

Five Star Car Stereo I've Been out of things for so long I don't even know what's good. Last time I looked around JL audio had some nice five channels. I just don't wanna spend money on a new sub and I don't know how well the factory sub will sound with new speakers and an amp. Have you done this before?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Steve Newcomb yes, quite regularly. Check out the Alpine PDR-v75 and the Hertz Energy line of speakers. Pioneer and Kicker makes an upgrade 8" if needed

[@DavidsOutdoors]

Steve Newcomb hey Steve I did this install but my Antenna reception is horrible. what did you use?

[@steve.newcomb]

David Ordaz I have a stubby antenna that is mainly for looks. The reception is terrible and I don't really listen to the radio.

[@smokebuster94]

I'm about to install this exact system into my 15 JKU. I'm not quite sure what part of that Meta adapter you grind off to make it fit better. Could you explain? Hopefully it'll make more sense when I get my install kit.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Dan Perez you will see when you get it.

[@smokebuster94]

Yes, I did. Thanks!

[@sooperknob]

What is the SP 308 adhesive you used to make the mic holder?

[@KeithCredendinoOld]

You guys make the best videos. Wish you were here in Atlanta so I can give you my install business. I'm about to install the 4200nex and I'm also adding a backup camera. You covered the wire exposed to the outside in "temflex." is that correct? I'm looking to do the same, but I'm not sure I got that correct, as Google and Amazon return electrical tape in the results only. Also, I assume you sealed with regular electrical tape? Thanks in advance for your help.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Keith Credendino yes we used temfex and Tesa tape. Thank you!

[@markaquiningoc6382]

I will be doing this exact setup, I have a question regarding the Sub-Woofer at the rear of my 2014 JEEP JKU. Is there an issue with this? I've been to a few car stereo shops and some say I need to get an aftermarket amp. But I'm thinking their just trying to sell more STUFF. Thoughts?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Mark Aquiningoc no the factory amp will play and sound the exact same way it dose now. The main complaint is you can only use the new radios EQ. You can't use time connection, sub level or fader. The factory amp only excepts a right and left input.

[@B5Daytona]

Great video!!...approx. how much would this exact system cost if installed at your shop?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Ben S. give Paul a call 727-216-6170

[@lilker1]

Is the radio waterproof?

[@BrendenLeis]

If I were wanting to hook this backup camera to a factory Jeep touchscreen radio would I need to purchase anything other than the camera or will the camera and touch radio work just by hooking them up together? No other adapters or anything to get the camera working correctly?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Brenden Leis yes there is a interface to make the radio except the camera, go to www.Pac-Audio.com for a list of parts

[@rhuhawk]

I just put in a 4201NEX into my 2018 JK manual trans. Everything works beautifully except the camera does not turn on when I put it in reverse. I can turn the camera on manually from the head unit but not when in reverse. I used the Maestro Rr and ch1 harness. Maestro manual says I have to tap into the grey back up light wire on the passenger side... why doesn't the purple/white on the harness work?

[@Lavozdecuba09]

Hello. Did you figured out the problem same issue here

[@eldridgehenry2]

this package is an awesome seller at my shop in Memphis, Tn keep up the good work guys

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Eldridge Henry, II yeah we were doing another one while I was editing this video. It was kind of messed with my head. After watching us do it in the video for hours while editing and then coming to work and doing it again. A bit strange.

[@AREMPEE]

The PAC USB adapter that you use, is that just for this vehicle or it's universal? I installed this HU on my 9th gen accord and hid the factory HU behind the dash. With that being said, can I use that PAC USB adapter and connect it to the Pioneer 4200? My factory USB plug is still there but, it's pretty much useless... Thanks!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Randy Pacion this adapter has a mini USB on one end and regular on the other. Most gm/ dodge use this type of connected. This is what we do when we don't have an adapter kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnSpnodnm9ehba8

[@AREMPEE]

Five Star Car Stereo that looks so easy!😀

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Randy Pacion 🍰

[@robford41984]

Thank you for the link to this. I was looking at this set up!

[@robford41984]

Who would I contact about putting a package together?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Robert Ford you can call Paul, 727-216-6170

[@DarkNightster24]

i have a kenwood DNX 573S installed in my wrangler would camera wiring be the same or would i have to tie into the reverse light wire like so many other videos show? what wiring would i need ?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

DarkNightster24 did you use a smart harness? If so what brand

[@DarkNightster24]

thanks for the response however i honestly dont know as i had it installed .

[@DarkNightster24]

i looked on my invoice and it looks like everything used was metro : met 086429164509 DDin kit , MET CHTO-013, MET ASWC If this info helps any.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

DarkNightster24 yes that helps a lot. They used a Metra Axxess smart harness. That harness has a green/purple wire that connects to the Radios Purple/ white wire. It is the reverse output trigger. Here is link to the instructions for your harness www.carid.com/images/axxess/amplifiers/pdf/axxess-chto-013-installation-instructions.pdf

[@sooperknob]

On the Pioneer - is it possible to disable the "Caution - Video May Appear Reversed" text on the backup camera image? It's driving me bonkers.

[@INIISIN]

@Five Star Car Stereo, I recently took my Jeep to get the wheels upgraded but when the guy took of the back spare he drop the bracket and it slammed on the bumper. My camera isn't working anymore and it says no signal now. I'm guessing the camera broke... is there anyway to know for sure? I have this exact camera. Thank you in advance!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+INIISIN there is a plug 24 inches from the camera. It may have come on plugged

[@robford41984]

Hey guys, all my stuff is on the way for this exact install. BU cam, 4200, and I'm using the maestro....the BU camera I can steal the pos and neg off of the stereo harness correct?

[@robford41984]

Oh and I am going to be putting the HDMI in for the iPhone....that lightning cable goes into USB 2, and the reg lightning cable goes to USB1 correct.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Robert Ford yes on the power for the camera. Yes on the USB's. You got it. Good luck let us know how it goes.

[@robford41984]

Ha off to a bad start so far accidentally ordered the 4100 instead of the 4200 so have to wait for the amazon return process to get the right radio to me! But I'll post it to your Facebook when all finished

[@robford41984]

Ok last question.....when wiring the micro bypass and using the idatalink maestro. Do I not connect the radio parking brake to the maestro? I feel like connecting the parking brake from the radio to the maestro with the bypass hooked up it will show that the parking brake goes on off on and then off again.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Robert Ford do not connect the break wire to the maestro just the the bypass. Yes funny thing could happen

[@DavidsOutdoors]

will the usb cable still allow the ipod to play from that same port? i installed this radio and my antenna reception is terrible. i am using the metra adapter, what could be the issue?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

David Ordaz if you get the USB-GM1 yes. You may have a bad antenna adapter, a bent pin in the adapter, or it's not push in all the way.

[@DavidsOutdoors]

Five Star Car Stereo some guy on a jeep forum said he had the same issue and took the plastic piece off and connected the wire and it worked. i will try that.

[@DavidsOutdoors]

Five Star Car Stereo i removed the plastic clip off the black part of the metra adapter and attached the metal section onto the sirius xm antenna cable and im getting full reception on my radio now. for some reason the regular antenna cable did not work properly!

[@DavidsOutdoors]

The backup camera I bought has guide lines, how do I turn them off?

[@nchia]

With the camera cabling going through the hole covered by a grommet, how did you replace the grommet?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

nchia cut a hole though the grommet and ran the wire though the hole before we ran it into the door. Once we were done on the out side we slid the grommet into place. It snapped into place and we filled it with 3m strip caulk.

[@nchia]

Five Star Car Stereo Do you "seal" the hole around the wires? If so, with what?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

nchia yes, we use a product made by 3M called Strip Caulk. It is black goo that is great for filling holes in cars.

[@nchia]

Could this be used to repair minor tears and small holes on heavy rubber floor mats?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

nchia no, it will turn into a black mess. It really only does one thing, fill holes.

[@freiwald1115]

will the camera work with a bigger rim. I have 20" with 33s

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

seth freiwald it may because it can side up, however it may not stick out far enough to clear the rim. Alpine have just come out with a new camera for custom wheels. It bolts to the center cap. We should be getting them in soon and do a review.

[@beckydayedgar4425]

I want front and rear backup camera with seicane touchscreen with phone

[@Poncho777]

How does the radio know to turn the camera on when you put it in reverse?? I'm a little confused.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Sandro Baez there is a Purple white wire on the radios wire harness. When it gets 12 volt it switches the screen to the backup image. The smart harness has a 12 volt reverse output that connects to the radio.

[@chriskasper7529]

what's tools and how do you repin a harness?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Chris Kasper it is a DIY SnapOn pin tool. I'm looking to get a better set so we can do a better video on that topic. So far every set I get has sucked.

[@chriskasper7529]

Five Star Car Stereo ok thanks would like to see how to repin and a decent set of tools.

[@Doober80]

Where can I get that bracket? That's all i need!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Toby Howard it only comes with the camera.

[@Doober80]

Right on, it so happened that I need a different camera anyway! Great video and thanks again.Now I wished I would have by passed the hand brake safety feature for DVD before I put the dash back together again.

[@Doober80]

Also, one more quick question, the connector from the Pioneer Nex 4201 should be compatible with this camera and mount, right?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Toby Howard no the Pioneer camera is designed to run up to the radio

[@Doober80]

Five Star Car Stereo, thanks! I installed the pioneer and put the dash back together. I made sure to plug the chord for the camera in and set it up. The slack of the pioneer camera chord is in my jku glove box. I just need to run the chord to the rear and hook up a camera and mount it. The pioneer NEX stereo I have came with a camera, but it's not ideal to mount. Will the cam on the amazom link you have in the description connect to the chord I already have plugged in? Thanks for the help. I truly appreciate it!

[@DavidsOutdoors]

for the 4200NEX why doesn't my galaxy s7 edge work with uconnect?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

David Ordaz you used the IDatalink RR right. Did you program it on in the settings.

[@topster888]

13:30 "You guys already know how to do that!" Uh, no?? You skipped over the one part I can't figure out!!!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

topster888 sorry where did you get stuck? Just so we know for the next one

[@l3git_098]

Great video....Fernando, lol

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Sabir Baksh thanks
