EWAY Classic 3.0 Jeep Wrangler Spare Tire Backup Camera

UPDATE a few months later: upgrading from 5 stars to 5+. Since I like the product, let me start with the negatives (all of which are on me and not the product): the single-sheet instructions written by someone for whom English isn't their first language was beyond useless. YouTube to the rescue. Also, this is not a beginner-level installation, nor do you need a master's in electrical engineering: it's somewhere in between. I needed to buy an OBDII reader, as well as trim tools that could remove what seemed like every internal accessory of my Jeep without scratching. With the proper tools it's rated between a 2-to-4-hour job, so of course I blocked my entire Saturday (having never done such a job before). There is wire-stripping involved; the YouTube videos will tell you electrical tape is sufficient to hold the connection. The YouTube videos lie. The Wrangler forums will tell you you need to solder the connections, which I ignored until my eventually-successfuly-entire-Saturday's-worth-of-work came undone as soon as my wife drove over railroad tracks. The good news is that what had taken two full hours removing trim and accessories on Saturday only took 30 minutes on Sunday (I was a pro, 24-hours later), and the soldered connections have worked perfectly for a few months now. The astute reader will note not one of these criticisms has anything to do with whether or not it's a good camera. Love the picture quality and fisheye view. My custom lift kit that required a custom swinging gate was accommodated by plenty of extra slack in the wires. My custom rims made it to where I couldn't position the camera dead-center like I wanted, but the mount made it easy to rotate slightly off-center and fit nicely while shooting a perfect angle. The additional tools I needed to purchase (including a JScan license to unlock my factory radio) were offset by the great price. So I came out spending a little over $200 in total (plus a day and a half of humbling learning experiences). Could've paid a dealer $500 to not fool with any of it, but I don't think the picture quality would have been as good (and certainly not the experience, which is half the point of owning a Jeep). Great product, no regrets. ------------------ Excellent product and everyone else's reviews were very helpful. The single page instruction sheet didn't have enough detail for me, but there are many YouTube videos for installation that are fantastic. Plenty of extra slack in the cables, which was useful to accommodate my swinging gate. Looks almost invisible on my Jeep and the picture quality is great. Night vision is a little grainy but no worse than most other vehicle cameras I've seen.

The instructions could need better but it is a great camera for the price. Works great in my 2012 JKU with the RHB 430n radio. I’d recommend using posiTaps instead of the wire taps they provide but that is just my preference for connection integrity.

Had this on my Jeep Wrangler Jk for a few months now with stock uconnect radio. Unlocked with jscan app and boom now have back up camera. It fits in between the stock space perfectly. Was super easy to install just watch YouTube videos. Funtions perfectly when out in reverse. The video quality and clarity are about as good as you would expect. Not HD but at least you can see behind you now

Purchase on feb 9. Installed in march. Camera stopped working on the 17th of march and can’t get it to work. Everything is wired right and no loose connections.

This is a very good backup camera. This was mounted on a 2015 Jeep JKU stock spare tire rim on 33's. The instructions are lacking but if your installing yourself you can easily figure it out. It comes with 2 metal brackets for stock or aftermarket rims. The short bracket is the one you should choose for stock rims not the long one. One thing though, when you install the camera into the plastic bracket That's mounted into the metal bracket, there are 2 very small screws that go into very fragile holes. Do not over torque these or the holes will break. However customer service is top notch. Mine broke and they sent me a new part. Emma was the best. double checked with me which part it was, sent me tracking info..... I highly recommend this camera. I really wish I had installed this earlier. I gave the night vision only 3 stars because unless you have a light source the image was dark because we all know how bad jeep JK reverse lights are. In the parking lot that is well lit, the image was very good

The picture quality of this camera is ok. The mounting bracket was pretty good. Was a little disappointed that it only lasted 1 year and 4 months. Kind of a pain to have to do the job again and purchase another camera. I ended up getting the 2.0 which has a better picture but the mounting bracket was pretty much useless for a HUMMER H3. Had to reuse the bracket that came with the 3.0 version. Hopefully this camera lasts longer than 1 year and 4 months.

The EWAY Classic 3.0 Backup Camera has completely transformed how I drive my Jeep Wrangler. Installing it was a breeze, and the adjustable design fit perfectly with my spare tire. Now, I have a crystal-clear view when reversing, which is a huge help, especially with the limited visibility of a Jeep. The camera quality is fantastic, even at night, and the wide-angle view ensures I can see everything behind me. It’s durable and weatherproof, which is exactly what you need for off-road adventures. Plus, the fact that it’s specifically designed for Jeep models makes it a perfect fit without any modifications. If you’re a Jeep owner looking for a reliable backup camera, this one’s a must-have. It makes parking and reversing so much easier and safer!

It won’t work with my wheels; but that’s not my issue. I thought that maybe the bracket would allow me to put the camera slightly set in the wheel; but it’s just not going to line up right and seems like the adjustments won’t hold firmly. It seems like it might be better to tack weld in place once you’ve got that worked out.

It might be my problem since it clearly says the video quality is 480p, but didn't notice that while purchasing, because who in 2023 is selling a camera that isn't full HD!!!!

I installed in a 2016 Jeep Wrangler with a 430n factory radio. The jeep was already flashed for a backup camera. The instructions were good and the install took about 90 minutes. The camera works excellent and would highly recommend at this point.

I was really pleased with the easy installation. Took about two hours to install on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler Sahara JK. All the connections tied into my Uconnect 430N Radio. I had to take it to the dealership to have the camera programmed. Took about 10 minutes to do and the camera worked perfectly. I would recommend.

Received promptly. Would have been nice to have more detailed installation instructions but YouTube was a great help. Hence only 4 stars. After viewing, installation was very easy. Most difficult part was re-programming my Uconnect radio to allow for auto display once in reverse. Disappointed in the low resolution quality, mind you, it does say 480, so wishful thinking on my part? I would still recommend it.

Great built quality. Super easy to install. Use Passenger side tail light wiring white gray power black is ground. 30 minute install.
