Alpine HCE-TCAM1-WRA Rear-View Camera and Brakelight (for use with aftermarket car stereos in select 2007-up Jeep Wrangler (JK) models)

If you own a Jeep Wrangler, you know that off-roading and adventure go hand in hand. However, navigating tight spots and backing up can sometimes be challenging. That's where the Alpine HCE-TCAM1-WRA Spare Tire Cam System comes in. This innovative system is designed specifically for select 2007-up Jeep Wrangler (JK) models, providing you with a rear-view camera, a third brake light, and a reverse light all in one convenient package. Let's dive into the features and benefits of this exceptional product.

Seamless Integration and Factory Look

Alpine is known for its commitment to quality and aesthetics, and the HCE-TCAM1-WRA is no exception. This system seamlessly integrates with your Jeep Wrangler's spare tire mount, giving it a clean, factory look. Whether you have the factory spare tire or an aftermarket one, the HCE-TCAM1-WRA can be easily installed using Alpine's included mounting posts. This means you can enhance your Jeep's functionality without drilling any holes or compromising its design. 

Rear-View Camera for Added Safety

One of the standout features of the HCE-TCAM1-WRA is its rear-view camera. With a 1/4" color CMOS image sensor and a wide-angle lens, this camera provides you with a clear view of what's behind your Jeep Wrangler. The camera is optimally angled within the spare tire mount to ensure visibility for both near and far objects. Whether you're backing up in a parking lot or navigating challenging off-road terrain, the rear-view camera gives you added confidence and safety.

Third Brake Light for Enhanced Visibility

In addition to the rear-view camera, the HCE-TCAM1-WRA also features a third brake light. This 6.25" x 2" brake light stretches across the middle of the unit, providing extra safety on the road. Not only does it function as a brake light, but it also adds a stylish touch to your Jeep's rear end. With the HCE-TCAM1-WRA, you can enhance your visibility and ensure that other drivers can see you clearly, even in low-light conditions. 

Reverse Light for Improved Illumination

Another useful feature of the HCE-TCAM1-WRA is its reverse light. This light serves a dual purpose—it helps you see clearly when backing up and also illuminates the camera's viewing angle in low-light situations. Whether you're maneuvering in a dimly lit area or exploring the great outdoors at night, the reverse light provides the necessary illumination for a clear view behind your Jeep Wrangler.

Wide Compatibility with Aftermarket and Factory Radios

The HCE-TCAM1-WRA is designed to work with a variety of Jeep Wrangler models and is compatible with Alpine's WRA-series of in-dash receivers, including the 9" Restyle dash systems. If you have an aftermarket head unit with a built-in video screen and a composite video jack, this system will seamlessly integrate with your setup. For those with a factory radio with a video screen and camera input, an additional Alpine adapter (HRN-CAMCH) and dealer programming may be required for proper functionality.

Rugged and Durable Construction

When you're taking your Jeep Wrangler off the beaten path, you need equipment that can withstand the elements. The HCE-TCAM1-WRA is built with durability in mind. It features a rugged housing that is waterproof and dustproof, with an IP66 rating. This means it can handle heavy dust and water crossings, ensuring its reliability even in the harshest conditions. The matte black finish with gunmetal gray powder coat accents adds a touch of style to your Jeep's exterior.

Easy Installation and Removal

Installing the HCE-TCAM1-WRA is a straightforward process. It conveniently attaches to your Jeep Wrangler's spare tire mount, and the lug nut mounting system ensures a secure fit. Whether you choose to use the factory lug nut or an aftermarket wheel lock, the system can be easily removed when needed. It comes with three mounting posts of varying lengths, allowing you to choose the post that fits the depth of your spare wheel. The removable rubber cap with the debossed Alpine logo covers the wheel lock in the center of the unit, providing a polished and finished appearance.
