External Microphone
The JL4001 comes with a built-in Bluetooth microphone, but we also include a high quality external microphone. This external microphone will work at just about any location, but we do have some recommendations for placement. Try to keep this microphone away from any windows, air vents, or speakers to avoid background sounds or feedback. The external mic will plug into the back of the head unit via a 3.5mm headphone jack plug.
Cameras
Your JL4001 is designed to automatically display a backup camera anytime your vehicle is in reverse, See Step 7.

Installing the JL4001

Cameras

Connect additional camera(s) to the RockCam video RCA pigtail. We support up to 4 cameras. The pigtail offers two wires labeled “RockCam Power” and “RockCam GND” that automatically provide +12V whenever you reverse the vehicle or open the RockCam app. We recommend you use these wires to power your cameras.

RockCam Power and GND wires

Note: Before making any connections, unplug the pigtail from the Head Unit and make sure that everything is powered off.

WARNING

Note: If you have a manual transmission in your Jeep and your camera is not activating when in reverse, you may have to perform an additional step.

Camera activation is controlled by the CAN bus module, and manual transmission Jeeps often have a different set of CANcodes that can change how the cameras are controlled. Run a wire from your reverse lights and splice directly to the head-unit side of the orange reverse trigger wire, as shown in picture. This will activate your rear camera whenever you put your vehicle in reverse.

ORANGE wire labeled “Reverse Trigger”

Cameras
Check the camera installation by opening the RockCam app.
Tips
If you see a “No signal” warning, ensure that the front video feed is connected to “RockCam Video In” RCA port and the power wires are properly connected. With the RockCam app, you can even view any camera installed. Tap on the lower camera pallet at the bottom of the screen to switch between front, rear and side views whenever you’re parked or in motion.

Operational Tips
Insane Navigation System
Insane NavEngine can be accessed both via the icon or by pressing the navigation button on the face of your JL4001. The GPS card is located behind the cover labeled “GPS/SD Card”. The GPS card needs to be inserted while using the Insane Navigation System. This will get you where you’re going both on and off the road.
MicroSd Card
The JL4001 comes with an additional microSD card slot located behind the cover labeled “GPS/SD Card”. Load up a microSD card with movies or music and access the content via the VIDEO or MUSIC applications. All MicroSd Cards above 32GB should be formatted to NTFS; below 32 GB should be formatted to FAT32.
OBDII Adapter
The JL4001 comes with an OBDII Bluetooth adapter and the Torque application already installed. Please refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions on how to set this up for the first time.

Troubleshooting

GENERAL

BLUETOOTH

Head unit not powering ON, no lights, no screen.
Check and reseat your Main Wiring Harness. Remove the black Wiring Harness plug from the rear of the Head Unit and confirm that none of the pins are bent, pushed in, or otherwise damaged. Check that there are no loose or disconnected wires. Reconnect it, ensuring the plug is inserted evenly and firmly into the back of the head unit. Perform the same check on the grey OEM Harness Plug. Unplug it, check for any bent or damaged pins or loose wires, and reconnect evenly and firmly.

It’s important to note that when working with wiring harnesses, you should never pull on the wires themselves. Every harness has a clip that needs to be depressed and you should only push/pull on the plastic harness itself.

Rebooting the head unit.
To o a system reset, open the GPS/SD card cover, the reset button is located in the top left corner above the GPS card slot. There is a small hole with a button inside it. Use a pen or paperclip to press the button until it clicks, and then release it. This will power down the head unit and complete a full reboot without having to disconnect the battery. Be sure not to confuse the reset button with the internal microphone, which is labeled “MIC” located on the front of there head unit.

Device is not pairing.
Make sure Bluetooth is turned ON: Apps > Settings > Bluetooth > ON. Make sure that you are connecting from your phone to the head unit (not the other way around). Open the Bluetooth application (BT) and delete all Bluetooth pairings you have currently and re-pair your device to the head unit.

AM/FM Radio
Poor AM/FM Reception
Make sure OEM AM/FM antenna (white) is firmly connected to the AM/FM connector located on the back of the head unit. Please be sure not to confuse OEM AM/FM antenna (white) with satellite radio antenna or any other wires. Some vehicles manufactures mays use extension cables or couplers to extend the factory antenna inside of the dashboard, please be sure to check all connections from the head unit to the factory antenna.

Apple CarPlay
Apple CarPlay will not Start/Launch
Ensure a certified Apple cable is being used. Make sure Apple CarPlay is enabled on the phone. Ensure the phone is plugged into IA CarPlay USB wire. Check IA CarPlay USB wire connection located in the back of the head unit.

Troubleshooting

Resources
