I have a 2020 gladiator overland with a backup camera. My screen doesn’t show anything but the rear camera. Is it possible to add to the existing system or would I have to add another screen for the front? It’s smarter to ask first then plan the project. All help is appreciated.

If you have the 8.4" screen, and get a Tazer from ZAutomotive, you can add the ZAutomotive front camera. Very easy install. Picture quality not HD, like the reverse camera (the head unit doesnt support additional HD video output), but still great quality and extremely helpful on the trails and for parking.

If you have the 8.4 Uconnect, you can use Jscan to enable the Cargo Camera input. There are many clones of the ZAutomotive package to add a front camera.

I installed a GreeYi camera (Amazon) to the front of my Gladdy. I did have to buy a RCA cord (ZAutomotive) and attach it to the radio harness. This picture was during install but I have since Adjusted the angle and removed the guide lines it has a clear picture and was only round $65 for the install.

@DanJT , Are those strobe lights on the grill? Do you like them? If so, what brand are they?

I you don't have the 8.4 inch head unit then you can't add a front camera without changing the head unit. I wanted a bigger screen and also a front camera, so I eventually went with a Stinger Heigh10 head unit and added the front camera as well.

Do you still have a link to the camera you bought?

I would so love to do this if I wasn't a such big baby about critical electronics. :CWL:
I installed something like this in the JK I traded for my Gladly. Just take your time and follow the instructions and you will get er done!
