Add parking lines to your Wrangler's aftermarket radio

Off-road or on, a backup cam in your Wrangler's spare tire will always come in handy, and Crux's CCH-01S rear-view camera enhances your view with selectable parking lines, a wide view, and a sharp picture for night driving. Crux also provides a 20' video extension cable with a composite video output for plenty of slack when making the connection between the camera at the rear of your Jeep and your radio.

Mount it with your spare tire

Crux includes an adjustable bracket so you can mount the camera between the spokes of your rear-mounted spare tire, no matter if it's factory or aftermarket.

Installing this camera yourself? Here's what you should know.

What does it do? Unless otherwise noted, a backup camera is only intended for use backing up your vehicle. (If you require a front-view or constant rear-view camera, check for that capability.)

What tools and supplies will I need? A panel tool, a wire cutter/stripper, a soldering iron, and a rosin-core solder with heat shrink tubing are recommended, along with whatever tools are needed to remove the radio from the dash.

How much wiring is required? Wiring instructions vary from camera to camera. Some cameras have power wiring that can only be connected near the radio. Others let you power the camera at compatible reverse lights. In all cases, the camera must be wired for power and ground, the camera's video output must be connected to the radio/monitor, and the radio/monitor must be connected to a reverse trigger in your vehicle. Some radio replacement interfaces supply a reverse trigger wire for the radio -- using that wire to power your camera will damage the interface.

Will the included video cable be long enough? You'll need to route the camera's video cable from its mounting location outside your vehicle into your vehicle's cabin and all the way to the screen in the dash. This often requires drilling a small hole in your vehicle or filing some metal and or plastic. You'll also need to estimate the length of cable needed to run from the camera to the dash, which will not be a straight shot. Each camera's cable length is listed.

Product Research

Features

Jeep Wrangler Spare Tire Camera: The Crux CCH-01S Jeep Wrangler spare-tire camera is specifically designed for the 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler (older JK body style 2018) with an aftermarket in-dash multimedia or navigation receiver installed. Your aftermarket receiver must feature an integrated video monitor and a composite video camera input. The Crux CCH-01S installs behind your Jeep Wrangler's spare tire. With the Crux CCH-01S Jeep Wrangler rear-view camera installed, you'll be able to view what's behind you on your in-dash aftermarket receiver's video monitor when you put your vehicle in reverse.

Note: This rear-view camera is meant as a back-up aid only; never solely rely on the rear-view camera when backing-up. In addition to using the rear-view camera, always look behind you to make sure everything is clear when backing up your vehicle.

Image Sensor & Lens: The Crux CCH-01S Jeep Wrangler spare-tire, rear-view camera features a CCD image sensor that offers 480 lines of resolution. The bright f/1.8 lens has 170° (horizontal) x 90° (vertical) viewing angle. The minimum illumination is 0.2 Lux.

Park Assist Lines: The rear-view camera provides parking assist lines on the screen of your vehicle's in-dash aftermarket monitor. These parking lines are there to assist you when backing up into a parking space. There are two vertical lines which help you judge the left and right edges of the parking space and your vehicle. There are also 3 color-coded horizontal lines that are used to distinguish how close you are getting to the end of the parking spot - Green (Clear), Yellow (Getting Close), Red (Very Close).

Note: The park assist lines are turned on and active by default. If you prefer to turn off the park assist lines, you will need to cut the small, thin white wire loop on the attached power/video cable of the rear-view camera.

Connections: The rear-view camera features an attached 4' power/video cable which plugs into the included 20' video cable which also features attached 3' power/ground wires. At the end of the video cable is a male RCA composite video plug, which connects to the composite, rear-view camera input of your aftermarket head unit. The power (red) & ground (black) wires will need to be hardwired. 12V power can be obtained from your vehicle's reverse light circuit or from the reverse gear wire of your aftermarket stereo (if applicable). The ground will need to be connected to your vehicle's metal chassis.

Waterproof Housing: The Crux CCH-01S Jeep Wrangler spare-tire, rear-view camera features an IP67-IP68 waterproof housing.

will it plug into the stock jeep stereo unit?

john Oct 15, 2020

1 answer

This camera will not connect to the stock Jeep stereo. For some Jeeps, we do carry a backup camera that can connect to select stock Jeep stereos. I recommend contacting an advisor by calling 1-800-324-9695 to check if we have one for your stock radio

Will this fit a 6 bolt x 5.5" (139.7mm) bolt pattern?

jeff Oct 06, 2020

3 answers

We do not have the measurements of the space in between the holes and slots to check if it can fit other applications like yours and recommend contacting CRUX using 855-822-1348 to check if they can help

jason Oct 25, 2020 (Staff)

My'15 Wrangler has 5 bolt wheels. The backup camera mounted fine.

rob Oct 23, 2020

I can't say for sure, but I would think that it wouldn't. The hole pattern layout is designed to work with a 5 hole, and possibly 4 hole. That's not to say that it couldn't be modified. Camera works great!

steven Oct 22, 2020

What is the measurement in inches between the camera and the top middle hole in the mounting plate?

kellie Feb 11, 2020

1 answer

From the center of the camera to the top of the top middle mounting hole is 3" and from the center of the camera to the bottom of the top middle mounting hole is about 4"

john Mar 10, 2020

Can I change camera module when it break down?

daeeui Jul 29, 2019

1 answer

The camera it comes with is terminated with a proprietary, 4-pin connector. It would have to be replaced with another CRUX camera or you'd need to re-reroute the wires that come with the replacement camera. The camera is not really designed to be (easily) replaced.

casey Aug 06, 2019 (Staff)

Is there a way to reverse the camera orientation?

matt Feb 06, 2019

1 answer

No that camera does not have the ability to flip or reverse the image. Because it comes with the rear tailgate housing it is really only designed to be a backup camera. If you need something to use on the front of the Jeep our Product Advisors can make personalized recommendations based on what you need. You can connect with them here: https://bit.ly/2QNxGQB

We'd love to know what you think

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
