Installing the TJ4001
GPS Antenna
The GPS Antenna has an adhesive mount and is best placed above the vents in
the Center Console.
External Microphone
The TJ4001 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
The TJ4001 is can support up to 4 cameras. The camera inputs are located on
the RockCam Video RCA Pigtail.
Cameras
Connect your 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.
Note: Before making any connections, unplug the pigtail from the Head
Unit and make sure that everything is powered off.
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.
To connect a rearview camera, connect the camera to the rear input located on the RockCam RCA Video Pigtail and connect the trigger wire to the +12 power located on the RockCam Video Pigtail. The trigger wire is an orange wire located on the Main Power Wiring Harness. You will need to locate a wire behind the dash that is “Hot” only when in reverse. Use that wire to power the camera and the triggers wire.
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 TJ4001. 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 TJ4001 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 TJ4001 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
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, and check for 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 the Head Unit.
BLUETOOTH
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.
Android Auto
Android Auto will not launch/start.
Ensure a certified Android cable is being used. Make sure Android Auto
application has been downloaded and installed 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.
Cameras
No signal.
Make sure the camera RCA is plugged into the correct input labeled “Backup
Cam” on the RockCam video RCA pigtail. Ensure the camera is connected to the
“RockCam Power and GND” wires. Confirm that the reverse trigger wire is
connected to a source that is receiving 12V when the vehicle is in reverse
(Backup cameras only).
