Gotcha. Jimmy07 posted the proper crimping tool below for those, but I’ll say that I don’t have one of those, and I did just fine with a pair of needle nose pliers. I also soldered after getting them in place.

Yes, correct. Sorry I left that out of my walkthrough. I had done so much reading/research of this project beforehand, I just knew that that was a thing that had to happen. Didn’t even think about adding that detail. DO be careful and patient when prying/releasing that red piece. You can’t...

@ReLLIK75 Here are two videos on Dropbox showing the location I’m using... Grommet Outside Grommet Inside

@ReLLIK75 Sorry for the confusion. This is NOT the grommet I’m referring to. I’ll get you pictures/videos. Hold on.

I didn’t include an actual picture, just a link to a thread about it. You can see it behind the brake fluid reservoir on the firewall.

The grommet/passthrough I used is easily accessible from the top of the engine compartment, without removing the wheel liner. It’s the one that I included the picture of in my write up. I’ll try to grab you a video.

That’ll probably be fine. I just had the nut, and the opportunity to use it, so I went with it. Haha. Even though historically I’ve had great success with 3M tape, it would bother me knowing that I could’ve put a nut on and didn’t. But again, I’m sure the tape will do just fine as long as it...

Hey man. Time for camera mounting: I’d say give yourself 3 hours for camera mounting process, just to be generous. It really shouldn’t take that long though. I’d say realistically, probably like 2 hours at the most. I tapped into the fuse box under the dash. Position/fuse #F66, which is...

Awesome!

I did not experience any of that. Looks like @PHFT experienced something similar-ish, and a little bit of time passing was the answer. Keep us posted.

Gotcha. Yeah through some sort of wizardry, I was able to get a wrench down behind the A and actually get it tightened up. I did ding my arm up pretty good though. Haha. It’s still slightly bruised. But worth it!

No camera hole or new bezel for me. Drilled up into the bottom of the “A” for mounting the camera. The back of the “A” is hollow, so there’s room for the camera mounting post, wiring to pass through, and to tighten up the nut to secure the camera. I would assume you’d need to remove the grill...

See my write up here for a pdf description of the grommet I used. I did have to make a small cut and open the hole up just a bit to get everything through. But my main method was taping the RCA end of the cable to a metal rod (something like a straightened out clothes hanger might work) good and...

Nice man! Did you wind up taking the grill off, or just squeezing in there?

Pretty interesting. Were slots 21/22 taken by something else already, or were they open but just didn’t work?

It seems like 21/22 are gonna be your best first try, based on everyone’s posts who’ve done it. That has been correct for the majority, including me. I messed with a few other spots on the grill, but the angle and viewing area wasn’t quite right. I guess that’s why the factory one is in that...

So, I actually had a 2020 Bighorn with the 8.4” screen without navigation, before I traded up to a 2020 Rebel with the 12”. I had the Tazer on the Bighorn as well, and couldn’t get the Cargo Camera option to enable on that headunit. There have been some discussions about this. I’m not sure I’ve...

Looks like Jimmy found you an alternative. That’s crazy though. There were like 40,000 of them in stock the other day when I ordered. Somebody went all-in on some connectors. Haha. Side note: I bought 4, just to have extra in case I messed something up.

Yeah man. It’s SUPER useful to have. Let me know if you have any questions. It’s all pretty straightforward as long as you have your ducks in a row. And WELL worth the effort.
