2. Disconnect the wiring harness connector, then unclip and remove the Media Hub from the backside of the panel. (Figure C)
   

3. Snap-in the AXUSB-RAM1 and route the harness to the radiolocation.
   Note: A Micro HDMI to HDMI cable is necessary if HDMI input is desired. (sold separately)
   Attention! USB Type-C adapter may be necessary. This is supplied with Pioneer Radio.
   Note: Refer to the Pioneer Radio installation manual.

4. Once the AXUSB-RAM1 is installed, this portion of the dash can be reassembled.

CAMERA REMOVAL

1. Remove the interior panel. It is held on with panel clips. (Figure A)
   

2. Disconnect the two connectors shown.
   (Figure B) Pop-out the grommet behind these two connectors and run the harness outside. This will allow easier access when removing the spare tire mount from the vehicle.  Retain this harness as it will still be needed for the third brake light.
   

CAMERA REMOVAL

1. Remove the bolts holding the tire onto the back of the tailgate.

2. To remove the camera it is easiest to remove the spare tire mount from the tailgate. Remove the four 14mm bolts from the mount to remove it from the tailgate. (Figure A)
   

3. Disconnect any wiring and remove the mount from the tailgate. Remove the two T-25 torx to release the camera mount from the spare tire mount. (Figure B)
   

CAMERA REMOVAL

1. Use the (3) bolts to help push the camera mount of the back of the spare tire mount. Push the bolts down. Some force may be needed. (Figure A)
   

2. Remove the three T-8H Torx screws to remove the camera from the mount. (Figure B)
   

3. Unplug the camera from the spare tire harness and keep the harness. This will still be needed for the brake light. Tape back and secure the camera connector if the need arrives to go back to the factory camera.

ASSEMBLY

1. Place the camera between the front and rear housings. (Figure A) Make sure to notice and properly place the camera using the small top ledge as an indicator.
   

2. Run the assembly through the jeep spare tire housing and secure with either the factory screws or the provided 3 stainless steel screws. (Figure B)
   

3. Re-assemble spare tire assembly following the steps in reverse.

WIRING

1. After re-assembly spare tire bracket. Plug the brake harness back into the tailgate and run the wire through the tailgate using zip-ties. Follow the current run of the wiring in the tailgate to help with the fitment of the panel that will go back on once the wires are run.
2. Run the wire through the boot into the vehicle.
3. Once inside the vehicle, you can power the camera via a reverse trigger from the taillight. Connect the RED wire to the reverse trigger. Connect the BLACK wire to the chassis ground. The RED wire is also located at the opposite end of the harness with the YELLOW RCA if the user wants the camera powered with an accessory circuit.
4. Run the wire down the length of the vehicle carefully. Make sure not to run near any objects that can cause extreme heat or catch the wire.

USB REPLACEMENT & CAMERA INSTALLATION

• If power is required for the camera, the connection must be hardwired.
• This can be done at the radio using the Red wire for power, and the Black wire for ground.
• The Black Ground wire from the camera will have to be extended and routed to the front with the video RCA.

Note: Remove the glovebox to route the camera RCA to the dash.

If equipped with TPMS, and you wish to add the visual to the Pioneer Radio screen:

• Route the LD-CAN3T harness behind the glovebox and connect to the junction pictured below. Any available spot can be used. If no spots are available, unplug one of the  2-pin connectors and connect to the other end of the LD-CAN3T. This will connect to the LD-CH5PIO 2-Pin labeled “CAN 3”.

If you do NOT have the LD-CAN3T:

• Connect Brown/White from the LD-2PIN-CAN to one of the 2-pins Yellow wire, then Brown to the other wire in the 2-Pin. This will connect to the LD-CH5-PIO 2-Pin  labeled “CAN 3”.
  Brown/White = CAN LOW
  Brown = CAN High
  Note: The glovebox must be removed to access this connection. Refer to the photo for the connection point.

INTERFACE INSTALLATION

If the vehicle is equipped with rear parking sensors that you wish to retain:

• Install the provided speaker in the dash prior to assembling the radio components.
• Make sure this is mounted in a location suitable for the driver to hear.*
• Audio level for the speaker can be changed via the radio, once installed.

From the LD-CH5-PIO:
The following connections should be made just prior to the final installation to test all functions of the new radio.

• Connect the 16-pin connector into the Radio Interface.

• Connect the 22-pin connector into the Radio Interface.

• Connect the External Speaker to the 2-Pin labeled “EXT SPKR”.

• Connect the 18-pin plug into the PR04AVIC-PIO Radio Harness.

• Connect the small 4-pin straight connector directly into the radio. (Metra Adapter Input)

• Connect the plug labeled “AUX IN” to the AUX-Input on the radio.

• Disregard the Red/White RCA pair, it will not be used in this application.
  Connect the RCA pair from the AXUSB-RAM1 instead.

• Disregard the Yellow RCA, It will not be used in this application. (See Camera Installation).

• Connect the Yellow Male RCA from the JP-JLKT Installation to the Rear Camera input.

• Connect the 40-GPS-PIO To the radio and to the GPS antenna in the vehicle.
  This can be Blue or Yellow in color.

• Connect the 40-EU10 to the radio and to the FM/AM antenna in the vehicle. White in color.

• Connect and route the microphone provided with the Pioneer radio to a suitable location.

• Connect the 2-Pin labeled “CAN 2” to the LD-CHRYHAZ2T.

• Connect the 2-Pin labeled “CAN 3” to the LD-2PIN-CAN , or LD-CAN3T for TPMS.

• Connect the LD-CHRYHAZ2T and the Start/Stop button harness into the climate control panel.

• Connect the LD-CHRYHAZ2T into the harness previously removed from this panel.

• Connect the LD-CH5-PIO into the vehicle’s harness, then test the operation of the kit.
  Note : Refer to Pioneer Installation manual supplied with radio for additional details.
