    I literally just put this kit in a friends Wrangler today. Took less than 1 hour total and it works great. She was totally happy.

    The package is excellent. Plug and play, factory compatible. Trailseven are amazing. My only issue is the sound is still pretty crap with the stock amp, need to bypass, the rear at least.

      Did you fix the sound issue? I just installed this package on my 2017 JKU and it sounds horrible. I have adjusted and played with all the sound settings. It is very flat with no bass. Plug stock HU back in and it sounds great.

      @@jacobsirmons6967 oh it was much improved from stock. Just not as much of a difference as I'd like. I was able to get it set up fairly good. Louder than stock definitely. Sounds better, but by no means compatible to most stereos. I think you'd have to remove the stock amp and replace.

      @@pfffff I do not have a stock amp. I am wondering if that is the problem and if I should get an amp? It sounds awful, I have installed a lot of headunits in multiple vehicles, including my old TJ, and have never had this problem.

    For a total of about 260 dollars you can get the Atoto F7 XE with the wiring harness the rear view camera and steering wheel control button ( wireless )
    It has wireless android auto and Apple CarPlay
    Comes with a wired USB for fast charging
    I installed a USB socket opposite the cigarette lighter
    Put this in a 2007 Jeep Liberty
    Oh also the adaptor kit for the dash is included in that price.
    Works great
    Has wireless and wired capability
    And if wired you can watch TH-cam

    Great video, thanks. I bought the same bundle for my 2016 JK, and am having the same issue trying to route the rear camera wire through the grommet that they recommend. You mentioned that you ran yours through "vents" in your tailgate.... Can you tell me where these vents are, as I don't see any on my jeep, or maybe I'm just missing something that's obvious! Thanks!

    • @JayCostaUSA
      @JayCostaUSA  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yea the vents are for air pressure in the cabin. They are a bunch of slaps right behind the tire carrier. Thanks for watching!

    Does the rear view camera display automatically pop up on the screen when you put the car into reverse? Or do I have to press the ‘rear camera’ button on the display?

    @RonnieCaton 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Where did you connect power for the backup camera? They have a note on the TrailSeven page saying to "follow instructions on the link" and not to connect to the tail light, but I don't see "the link."

    • @JayCostaUSA
      @JayCostaUSA  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There is a wire going to the real lights that I tied into. It is behind the plastic on the passenger side. The link they are referring to is what they emailed you when you made the order. I would contact them if you never got the email. Thanks for watching!

      @@JayCostaUSA Thanks for the comment. I asked while doing some research and didn't actually place an order until earlier today. I did receive the email. I have an existing camera on the Jeep and was hoping not to have to have to get into the rear near the tail light. I'm not even sure how the current camera is powered so I'll have to figure it out after the get the console off.

      True, the "cam button" on the home screen does not operate the rear cam. I was told that it is for an additional cam - At least that's what i was told... My rear cam only activates when I place my truck in reverse.

      Actually, the rear cam WILL work with this button IF you wire power from the cam to the head unit. Otherwise, it only works in reverse.@@yadaydada123

    Hi. I have a Jeep and was considering purchasing this unit. For the steering wheel controls, is that connected via the maestro? Or the wheel wheel control interface? I was about to get both, but if the maestro connects the steering wheel controls, do I really need the steering wheel controls interface?

    • @JayCostaUSA
      @JayCostaUSA  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The maestro is what gets the steering wheel controls to work. I dont remember being asked about steering wheel control interface. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have other questions I could help with.

    Hi! Hoping you'd respond to this but wanna ask - now that you've been using it for a year have you faced any problems at all? Especially on the wireless connectivity to android auto/apple carplay, any dropouts?

    • @JayCostaUSA
      @JayCostaUSA  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey, dropouts have been very rare. The only thing is starting about a month ago my steering wheel controls with the maestro unit go in and out quite a bit. It could just be loose in the dash, but havent had a chance to go back in and check. Great otherwise.

    I bought this same package and the sound is horrible. I have played with all the settings and nothing helps. I plug the stock HU back in and it sounds great but this Sony makes it sound very flat and muffled with no bass. Trailseven cant figure it out either. The sound is so horrible that id rather go back to my stock HU that does not even have Bluetooth.
