What do you want to know?
I bought a cheap camera from amazon for $10 and then paid $250 for the mirror and wired it up. Pretty easy

What kind of camera? Do you HAVE to use the parking break before it turns on. Do you appreciate it/ was it with it. Etc

Why would you have to use the parking Brake to activate the camera? They wire up to the back up lights. As soon as you put it in reverse it comes on.

Did a thread about my experience a while back...

https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-e...der-jk-274533/

If you have the MyGig it's best to lockpick it. My 2010 didn't have any video screen to use so I went the mirror route. Still works great.

I just got a 2008 mygig for my 2007 and have it installed and got the PAC connector and the camera and went to dealership today to have it flashed and they did not know what to do, finally they did something and now when go in reverse the screen says Check Entire Surroundings then goes dark
I do not have the camera mounted but I have it hooked to the camera rca connector on the harness. Is there something I am missing?
