It seems the switch cables can be found in different places. My 2019 JLUR has them in plain view under glove box. I ended up using the same ground as in the video. Cam is installed and working nicely. Thanks, 4LowRocks, for an excellent and informative video!
Thanks Randy. I've also heard from others that the location of those pigtails can vary - seems the factory isn't very consistent in locating them during the installations.
Did my Rexing install today, this was really helpful thank you! 2020 Rubicon and my aux cables were taped up to the left side of the passenger footwell. Still pulled off the panel though to get to the ground nut and I pulled the windshield down to run the cable between the a pillar and the dash speaker.
Thank you for your video! Very helpful! I made one little improvement to the wire run by removing the grab handle on the A pillar. I was able to bring the wire to the outside behind the grab handle instead of as shown.
I feel so lucky coming across your video. I also bought dual dash cams. So far I haven't figured out how to run the wires. Your video is big help. But I have another problem, the rear cam doesn't come with any glue but two nails. I guess I would have to mount it somewhere. I'm stuck. Plus I don't know how to wire the cams to the constant 12V source for the parking mode.
I’d recommend getting some double sided 3M tape to mount that rear cam. Interesting it would come with nails. Finding a constant 12V wire shouldn’t be too difficult but it could be enough battery drain to cause issues. Thanks for watching!
Very helpful video, love it. I just have a stupid question, if I keep the cam for parking mod with my AUX off, will the cam running out my buttery? Or only working when I starting my wrangler. Thank you so much.
The cam auto shuts down after a period of time of not being powered by the Jeep's electrical systems. However, it is supposed to wake up and start recording if the Jeep is moved/jarred/shaken. I never tested that, but I never shut it off and it always worked as designed. I have the same in my wife's car and it works the same way.
After struggling to get the passenger side panel off and locating the auxiliary switch cables, I discovered that you DO NOT have to remove the side panel at all to get to the auxiliary switch cables. They are actually located on the left-side of the passenger seat, near the center console and underneath the floor carpet. But you would need to locate a place to ground whatever device you are connecting.
That’s a new one on me but valuable info for others! What year and model are you referring to, and I assume your Jeep had the six switches as factory installed equipment, correct?
@@4LowRocks Jeep Wrangler Sahara 2018 JL. Yes, got the tow package. It came with four switches. I literally just finished installing the Rexing V3 with the Hardwire kit. After taking off the side panel I could not locate the switch cables. That's when I discovered they were underneath the floor carpet and near the center console nicely tucked away.
@@spoteat71 Thanks for the info. There must be a difference between the factory wiring harness and the kit for Jeeps not built with the towing package.
Been driving in SoCal and have been in one accident. Guy definitely did not admit fault and ended up only owning to the fault 25% meanwhile, even if I was tboned by the rear, i was still at fault 75% and arbitration made accusations that i actually did not do. But whatever arbitration said, they rule out. Definitely a good idea to have a dash cam around here 👌
The wires are not connected to the hard top except at the rear glass, and that can be disconnected simply by unplugging. Most of the wiring follows the roll cage or goes under the door sills.
That's why you run the rear camera wires up the roll-bar plastic. Then attach the rear camera to near the rear dome light. Both cameras work whether to the is on or not. Only difference is the camera won't have full fire when top is on. You'll still see someone rear-ending you.
My dad is a truck driver and has driven in and from SoCal for all of his life. He would 100% agree that lack of proper policing has allowed the highways to become lawless and full of negligent and aggressive drivers. Zero respect for the laws here. I hope this changes one day.
Its sad that people don't understand the devastation they can impart on others with a 3,000lb car going at highway speeds. But I don't see a future where rigid law enforcement returns in this country.
1:40 It's a very valid question because people constantly do that to truck drivers for insurance scams. "Scare you"? why? It's actually a thing people really do. Look it up, it's very common. Totally laughing that you act dramatic saying you're scared.
I think my point was maybe not clear and may have been mistaken. I was making a point that the Officer had a presumption of guilt before investigating, and that is what is concerning. The truck driver could have been a complete jerk and told the Officer he suspected an insurance scam, but he didn't and admitted that he was at fault. That said, I didn't pursue any further options with his insurance other than to have our car repaired. I am fully aware of the insurance scams that have been going on for years (driving others like me to install dash cams), and it actually recently happened to me in my Jeep! Thanks for watching.

7:26 what do I do on soft top wrangler 😁
Not familiar the soft top and how to run the cables - sorry I can't provide help. Good luck.

Great! Thanks for offering your experience to others here - I hope it’ll be of benefit to them. Happy Jeeping!

@@spoteat71 Interesting as I might be in the same situation. How did you ground it? Thanks.

Bummer you had to go through that. Yes I think a dashcam is crucial around SoCal. Thanks for watching!
What about when you take off your hardtop?
The wires are not connected to the hard top except at the rear glass, and that can be disconnected simply by unplugging. Most of the wiring follows the roll cage or goes under the door sills.

Would had been better to just bring the windshield down. Or tapping into the rearview mirror.
