Works well

I have a spare cover on my Jeep so the tire mounted camera wasn't for me. This back up camera installed very easily. Had to file a tiny bit off of the right side of the light housing for it to snap in perfectly but only took 3 minutes and in no way affected the rest of the install or proper placement of the camera. The off center placement of license plate mount really isn't that difficult to judge for me as some reviewers here have stated. Just a few times backing into familiar spots (home and work) was all it took to adjust. After that parallel parking in tight spots was simple. I did cut and tape off the white wire for the head unit reverse viewing lines as it increases the field of view in my opinion and really aren't all that helpful with the off center location.

Very easy install and works great. Thanks for suggesting using the wire tap fitting to tap into parking brake wire. Talk about easy. Made the worst part the easiest!

Jeep JK camera option

It is very easy to mount , picture quality is good but a bit grainy. It is however a great alternative to the tire mount option and allows a bigger choice of tire covers. The one down side it that it is not in the center of the vehicle and it takes a bit of getting use to . The price is a big plus as well . One thing to remember is if you are adding a camera to a OEM Jeep radio then you will need to purchase Alpine HRN-CAMCH Camera Input Harness and either an OBD GENIE or take it to the dealer to have the the camera option turned on .

Decent camera for the money, but with limitations

First, this is a decent camera considering it is very reasonably priced. The unique mounting position in place of the factory license plate is nice and allows easy cable routing to the inside of the Jeep without drilling any holes. Here are a couple of reality items to be prepared for however: (1) You will need to modify the factory license plate light housing with a Dremel tool to allow this item to slide up into the correct position to click into place and be held securely. It was not very difficult, but will take some work. (2) As this camera mounts on the license plate on the driver side of the Jeep, the view on your screen will be offset, so DO NOT expect to use this camera and the guidance lines to back into a parking space - this camera is best just to see what is behind your vehicle in general. (3) This camera does not have image correction (again, it is not a more expensive, high end camera), so the image is "stretched out" horizontally when viewed on the screen of an aftermarket 7" or larger stereo head unit and will look a bit funny, and it is not very high resolution. If any of these things concern you, spend more money and get a center mounted camera with higher resolution and more adjustability.

Bought to replace an older one. Camera now has a wider field of view than before. I just wish for the ability to twist it a bit, allowing for a better view, when the plate bracket is mounted to the left of the wrangler's tailgate.

Installation wasn't too bad. Fishing wire from back to front was the hardest part. The camera works *most* of the time, which is why I'm rating this low. I'm pretty confident the wiring is good, but I really can't rely on it working when I need it to.

easy install, inexpensive solution, not obnoxious

Easy install. Slot next to the camera that slides over the plate frame doesn't fit that well, took a little.. persuasion. Ended up having to run power to the deck. Power wire at the tail lights didn't want to work. Ran it to constant 12v+ to use it whenever. Couldn't ever figure out how to disable the guide lines since it's offset.

Easy and good quality.

Actually pretty easy to install. Tip would be to completely remove the license plate mounting area from the Jeep. Let's you run the wires up to the reverse light without having to drill. It also makes it a lot easier to get the camera/light cover snapped in completely. Fits perfectly and picture quality is good.

A great and affordable rear view camera

So far, so good with this rear view camera. Since I frequently fill the entire cargo area of the Jeep up past the windows, and the Wrangler has horrible blind spots in the rear anyway, I felt I needed to install some sort of rear camera to help me back up safely. And since I keep a tire cover on my spare, I can't install the kind of camera that looks through the spokes of the spare. This Crux camera was basically the only option left that works for my situation, and it didn't hurt that it was so affordably priced. Installation was easy enough, consisting of splicing the power wire into my reverse light, and plugging the video feed right into the back of my aftermarket Alpine stereo. I used a Dremel tool to cut a small notch in my tail light housing so that the cable can go through without pinching against the body of the car. The video feed is nice and clear, and works well at night too. Now I feel much better about backing up in parking lots and on the trail!

Great Camera

Great camera. The quality is there. I will end up getting a different camera because I don't like the location of this one. I want one to be more in the center of the Jeep. You can't trust the guidelines on this one because it is offset on the rear of the vehicle. I did have to trim a little bit of plastic on the factory tag light to accept this new one.

Perfect Fit

Works really well and is easy to install. Perfect fit. Even though the camera is off to the side, it works well and I just moved the lines over to compensate.

Easy to install

Easy to install, but sometimes the picture is grainy. I can't figure out why? I checked the connections and the ground. It should work perfectly. I might've just received a bad unit. Some days the picture is great. Others it's not so much.

Crux CCH-01W

This camera was easy to install but it actually didn't snap in so easily as described. I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler unlimited. I pushed it enough to where it seems like it won't fall off but, like I said, the left side (left side if you're facing the back of Jeep) snapped well but the right side wouldn't snap in. Overall this camera will be good for backing up to see how much distance you have behind you but is off center so can throw you off also. The quality of the picture is pretty good. Also, I have the Sony aftermarket stereo in my Jeep and you have to actually push the "rear view" camera for it to access the camera. Overall I got it to sterling depth when backing up and it works week for that.

Great option for an easy install

I bought this camera after checking many options for an install that didn't allow a rear view camera to be mounted inside the center spare tire (the rim didn't have a generous enough opening for an unobstructed view) and I couldn't drill into my rear number without major problems. I was initially concerned about the off-center position of the camera in the license plate location. However, the camera has a nice and wide enough angle of view and the guidelines are, while not 100% correct, a more good enough orientation when you're backing in or out of tight spots. Image quality is more than decent on Pioneer aftermarket receiver. Install was very easy and I don't say this lightly. I highly recommend this camera for everybody who has similar install problems to overcome.

A great option at the price

Camera gives a great picture and makes backing my JK super easy. Yes, it's off center, but if you ever mount gear, fuel, or other gear on your spare tire, this is a great solution. I use my mirrors to back into parking stalls; this is great to see tricycles or boulders anywhere behind my jeep. NOTE: With my automatic transmission, I didn't need to hook up the reverse wire from my Sony XAV-AX1000. I just tapped power from the left reverse light, and the Sony switches instantly to the camera (no lag even when the Sony is booting) whenever I shift into reverse. You might need to connect the reverse wire in cases where you want to look out the pack (towing?) when not in reverse. But let's face it, the off-center mount is not the right solution for hitching up a trailer.

Low cost

Inconspicuous little camera. The center real estate in spare tire on my 2017 Rubicon Recon was taken by the center brake light. Wide angle view projected on factory navigation unit 430N. I am very satisfied with my low investment to get this extra measure of safety. Major cost was for dealership to enable camera. Along with low cost full tech support at a local big box retailer paid for installation.

Perfect fit for 2012 wrangler

I know the instructions are pretty bad, but this is super easy to install. Just solder the red and black to the reverse light bulb positive and ground, run the video cable to radio and done. My Jeep finally has reverse camera. Took about an hour when soldering connections and doing the install the right way, simple.

Worked fine for installation of a Kenwood stereo into a 2018 Wrangler JK. Instructions could be better, as they are a PDF file and you need either a tablet or color printer to have them on hand while installing to the radio harness. You really need to see the colors as you splice wires. Several wires were not identified in the instructions, and required Google-fu to figure out that you should just cap them off and not use.

Clear resolution

I put this on a 2015 jeep wrangler. It is offset to the driver side which makes the two guidelines on usable for gauging side to side. However the guide does function nicely for distance ( green =2', yellow =1') the camera is nice and clear with no issues for me at night. It was very easy to install and the fixed angle and lens perspective are good. Overall im very happy and can now backup confident of whats in my blindspot.

crux ranglerrear view camera

Great little camera. I wired it to my Kenwood Excelon reciever. Good picture. Not as easy to install as everyone says. it does come with 19' of wire which is a perfect length however my 2015 wrangler rubicon unlimited is longer than you think. Running that length is not fun. Make sure you run the wire through the license plate light hole not the tail light opening other wise you will have to pull it all the way back through from the radio.and snake it through again. That stunk. I have an over sized atlas bumper with tire carrier so you cant see the pasanger side of the jeep part of the road for at least 8 foot from the bumper. The driver side is' as clear as day though. which is awesome. You do have a passenger side mirror so who cares. At night it is a little dim with factory tail lights. I have Rigid 350 watt reverse spot lights so it wasn't a problem for me. all in all for the bucks you can you can't beat it. it would be really cool if they would come up with dual cameras for both sides. That would be kick butt.

Unsafe

I strongly recommend not purchasing this camera kit, purpose-built for Jeep Wrangler 2007+. The location of the camera, in the license plate housing beneath the left-hand tail light, creates a blind spot on the right-hand rear of the vehicle. Also the camera projects lane grid lines that don't correspond to the edges of the vehicle. These issues combine to burden the driver with extra workload to interpret what the camera's picture means, degrading vehicle safety.

Crutchfield response on 8/26/2015

Because of the Wrangler's design and utility, it's difficult to find an ideal place to mount a camera where it is fairly protected and out of the way. While the placement is certainly side-biased, it still enhances the drivers awareness of what is behind the vehicle. Like many safety products, this is an additional view, and should not be solely relied on. Also, keep in mind the parking lines in the display are optional, and can be defeated during the camera installation.

PERFECT!

Very seldom to you find something that fits right, plugs in to other components easily and is cost effective. It replaced my stock license plate light, hooked into the electrical system easily and then plugged into my Kenwood head with no problems. The picture is clear, really helps to see what is behind me (and you know you can't see anything out the back of a Wrangler). Great value!
