My OEM Front Trail Cam install thread

[DailyDrivenTJ]

Interestingly, I could not use those push in nuts and mounting screws because it did not fit the grill piece I have. They are too small. These nuts seem to match other ones in the grill just not these holes for the camera.. I purchased entirely new grill BTW.

@gazerone If your grill looks anything like mine, the push in nuts and mounting screws will be useless.

I’ll send some pics of mine. That’s what I’m struggling with. It doesn’t look like it goes together at all. Bracket and camera perfect. Connection the bracket to the grill……I’m confused ??

So, Im all installed and ready to program.
I have Alpha OBD running on parallels on my mac, The Gateway bypass from OBD Genie, the OBDLink MX+, however I can't get the App to find the vehicle.
I have it in ACC, I have restarted the computer and the OBDLink, it still comes up with the same message saying Connect to the selected OBD interface failed.
Ive never used Alpha OBD so I could be missing something, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have set the vehicle as jeep Gladiator, and the control module as body control, Body computer MY2020 + Power net
Thanks

You can actually see the silver snap nuts behind through the holes

My stuff is identical you probably put them on the other side while you assemble the grille section to the exterior part of the grille. I know if I had a problem with it I would have recalled but I can't even recall.

I'd rather not break this down any further but I will if needed..

Did this yesterday, the nuts press into the outer section of the grill, as you said, it makes sense once you see it

 

[DailyDrivenTJ]

How do you attach the bracket with the screws and clips? It doesn’t make sense to me. I need a visual ??

So there are 3 layers to the front grill. The front painted piece, middle layer, and the innermost layer.

The middle layer is supposed to allow the snap in nutsert to go in allowing the innermost layer of the grill with camera to be screwed into the middle layer.

You can see the picture I posted earlier. You would have seen where the nutsert should be going into.

So I’ve managed to pair the OBDLink to the computer, I click connect and the device selection screen comes up, I select OBDLink+ 62184 and hit Ok, then it waits for a bit and comes up with an error message
Any ideas?
