Anytime Front and Rear Camera Mod

Finally got around to installing mine yesterday and everything is working exactly as it should.

The directions weren’t specific enough for someone of my limited electrical experience, so I hounded JJ with countless emails and he was quick to respond each and every one of them until the very end. Customer service is top notch!

I did 98% of my splicing, soldering and heat shrinking on the bench, which to me was easier than doing it all in the cramped cab with tools/consumables everywhere.

I wanted my switches in the middle console, so I knocked out 2 plugs, moved the ECT PWR button one slot over to the right and also pulled my illumination and ground from the ECT switch. These are small gauge, short wires, but I made it work.

The AC/DC adapter the powers the camera is nowhere long enough, so JJ told me just to splice in pos/neg wires (I used 16ga), just an FYI. This and hooking up to the ECT switch was the only soldering I had to do in the cab.

I gotta thank JJ one last time for his expertise and patience, I highly recommend this mod!

 

Came out awesome man. I like the mounting location you chose for the stock 2018 grill. You can barely tell it's there, looks clean.

JJ

 

Thanks! It took awhile to get the right angle and orientation (working alone), but I’m pleased with it. I mounted the camera with the supplied 2-way tape so we’ll see how it holds up. Down the road I’ll use the screws if necessary

 

Which camera is that? Looks like the same one I used but the color on the image looks way better and the view angle looks wider. Mine says TTP on it.

 

That camera looks perfect in that grill. It’s the same grill I have so I’m more excited now to get mine mounted. I’ve never wired anything in my life except some new turn signals on my previous motorcycles which required only minor soldering and was years ago. Waiting for max’s install video to see if I can tackle this!

 

If you've done "minor soldering" you can handle this install.

JJ

 

Same camera I think

 

Maybe you need to clean your dusty head unit? Haha kidding. I don't know if the resolution is different on the 2014 from the Gen 3/2018. I can't imagine that it would be.

JJ

 

No it's the camera. Rear camera looks great.

 

Thanks!

I tried to hide it as best I could and still have it functional. You can see the “ribs” of grill on the right and left side, but I didn’t want to have it stick out too far either. Very happy with the positioning so far!

Edit:

A video would have been very helpful for me!
I got lost a few times during the install but JJ stepped up and pointed me in the right direction every time

 

10451 my friend bought on Amazon for me.
Thanks

 

Pat, I don’t offer kits through Amazon.

JJ

 

It was shipped to his house.

 

Same order number

 

You may want to check with your friend. As I mentioned, I don’t offer kits on Amazon. If he purchased the kit on Amazon, it’s not mine.

JJ

 

I’m guessing your order number should be a letter and a longer number. Ask your buddy if he has one that looks like that.

 

Yeah. My order numbers are a lot longer than 5 digits.

 

Sorry I used his pay pal

 

That’s a different seller.
