This is great...I'm a new 2014 JKSU owner and I've been wanting a backup camera. I don't want it to be complicated, so it sounds like using a standard Grand Cherokee camera is the best way to go. If I buy one of these from Mopar, does it require any special programming on my 430N, or is it pretty much plug-n-play?

Buy a camera off amazon and get the media cable harness and do it yourself for way less. Then you only have to have dealer activate the sales code of camera. They threw it in for free on some warranty service for me.

What "media cable harness" did you use?

Thanks Divi. Just finished mine up tonight with that harness. Works like a champ and the resolution is better with the aftermarket camera vs the Mopar camera.
