I purchased this for my 2010 JK. I am an electrical engineer and have re-assembled my Jeeps interior a few times so the installation effort was within my capability. The first evening was running power and installing the mirror/front camera. The second evening was running the rear camera. Third evening was connecting the back-up wire and buttoning back up the interior. Everything came up and worked fine on the first try each time. The instructions did not seem to be available on the manufacturer's website, so I used the correct ones posted by Quadratec, which are from Brandmotion. The instructions are insufficient by themselves to complete the wiring and you will likely have to call or email Brandmotion for some details. Brandmotion answered one of my questions really fast, a second bit later, and a third not at all (even when asked twice). I ran the “back-up” wire along the normal Jeep wiring path rather than the suggested shortcut through an air vent, and the price was splicing 2 extra feet on for the connection, but that was my choice. There is a curious split-screen camera alignment matter with the front camera but making sure the full-front and full–rear view look good is what matters for recording, and the split screen problem can be ignored. Since installation I have had to tilt up the mirror a couple degrees to keep the reflective view from overlaying the digital view, and I turned down the audio volume to zero which is the only way to stop the power-up and power-down music. As I mentioned earlier everything worked on the first try and it has had rock-solid performance since. I especially like the enhanced view at dusk.
