Why Choose Alpine HCE-RCAM-WRA OEM Fitment Camera?
Easy, Add-On Camera System
The HCE-RCAM-WRA lets you easily add an Alpine rear-view camera to your 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK.
It is compatible with Alpine in-dash screen systems, the factory Jeep screen or other aftermarket screens. If used with the factory screen, you can add the Alpine SGS-CH01 Camera Interface (sold separately) with Active Guide Lines, – without factory screen re-programming..
Versatile Installation
With tons of wheel choices for the Wrangler, you need a versatile camera that works with any of them. The HCE-RCAM-WRA consists of the HCE-C1100 Rear-View Camera and bracket that is mounted between the spare tire and the Wrangler’s 5x5 wheel pattern.
The upper portion of the bracket can be positioned to the left or right of the wheel’s spokes, ensuring that the attached camera has a clear line of sight behind the vehicle and is not blocked by the wheel.
HDR Technology
Backing out of garages or riding through shady trails can be tough on a back-up camera. Standard cameras have difficulty managing changes in light, causing images to wash out and making it difficult to see what’s behind you at times.
The HCE-RCAM-WRA has High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology for improved image quality. HDR technology can manage a wider range of luminance through the camera’s sensor as compared to standard cameras.
Bright and dark areas are captured and adjusted for even exposure and white balance, preventing the image from being washed-out or too dark as you drive between sunlight and low-light conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- • Will this backup camera fit my Jeep without drilling new holes?
It is designed as an OEM-style replacement for compatible Jeep models. Always verify your vehicle's year and trim before installation.
- • Why is my camera showing a black screen after installation?
This is usually caused by a loose video cable or incorrect power connection. Double-check all wiring and confirm the receiver is set to the correct camera input.
- • Can I use this camera with an aftermarket head unit?
Yes, it is compatible with many aftermarket receivers that support rear camera inputs. Verify the video signal requirements before connecting it.
- • Does the camera perform well at night?
Yes, it is designed to provide a clear image in low-light driving conditions. Image quality will also depend on your receiver's display and available lighting.
- • Why does the image look blurry or foggy?
Dirt, moisture, or fingerprints on the camera lens are common causes. Cleaning the lens regularly usually restores image clarity.
- • Is the camera weather-resistant enough for off-road driving?
Yes, it is built to withstand typical outdoor driving conditions. Periodically inspecting and cleaning the camera helps maintain reliable performance.
- • Will the factory parking guidelines appear on the screen?
Parking guidelines depend on the capabilities of your receiver or vehicle system. Some head units generate the guidelines rather than the camera itself.
- • Why does the picture flicker when I shift into reverse?
Flickering usually indicates an unstable power source or a loose video connection. Inspect the wiring harness and ensure all connectors are fully seated.
- • Can I install the camera myself without professional help?
Many DIY installers can complete the installation using basic hand tools and the provided instructions. If you're unfamiliar with vehicle wiring, professional installation is recommended.
- • Will this camera automatically activate when I shift into reverse?
Yes, when connected properly to a compatible receiver or factory system, it will display the rear view automatically. Ensure the reverse trigger wire is connected correctly during installation.
