Great if only using 1 backup camera

I give this good stars because it easily connects to the factory radio in my '16 Wrangler and allows the backup camera with active parking lines to be active without needing a reflash at a dealer. I give it bad stars because it doesn't actually provide a 12V Accessory wire. The red accessor and yellow battery power wires are tied together inside the harness. I am using this with a KCX camera switcher, an Alpine 2600 front camera and the spare tire bracket mounted WRA rear camera and based on the wiring diagram, it should work easily, but doesn't. I needed to tap into the 12V accessory wire off the cig lighter to keep everything from drawing 0.3A even with the ignition off and draining my battery. If I was only running a backup camera, I'd give it 5 stars, but I'm not and the Alpine documentation is incorrect for my setup using page 14 of the rear camera manual.
Pros: Easy installation if only using this and a backup camera
Cons: No true 12V Accessory wire from this harness.

This part did the trick, fixed the first part that I wasn't told when bought the Alpine camera, easy to install and it will give you a good vision when you are backing up.

This makes installing a HCE-TCAM-WRA a plug and play install (no splicing). Instructions are not overly detailed but if you can read a schematic, they are perfect. I wanted the dynamic guidelines and this system was the only one that offered them. My first one was defective but the second one is working fine (only been a few days so I can't comment on reliability). Steep price to pay for dynamic guidelines which in my mind is the only real advantage of the system (aside from plug and play). Of course it does save you the dealer cost of reprogramming a factory head unit if you plan to use one. That's a plus as some dealers charge $100-200 to do it. Happy with the system.
Pros: Active guidelines (later models only)
Cons: High cost
