I have a Kenwood head unit and have both front and rear set up.

My JK did not have a "screen" OEM radio, so needed to switch the radio to get the cams and the Kenwood was cheaper with 2 cams than swapping for one from the dealer.

Both cams are Kenwood CMOS 300. They give a range of cam angles and yellow grid lines for parking if you want that. They are both adjustable via the head unit.

I went this way as I wanted 2 cams and cost of jeep radio, cams and lock pick here in the UK was just too much.

Kenwood system not cheap but cheaper than the other option.

I thought about doing the front like that, so my 6yo son could see what we are doing on the trails.

My boys like it, just need to make sure you mount the cam somewhere out of the way, learnt that the hard way.

They don't make a cam skid? I had though about that too. I have two cams, just need the screen.
