My OEM Front Trail Cam install thread

[DailyDrivenTJ]

Finished placements of these components and wired them all up. Added dummy plugs onto CVPM to protect open connectors.

The Ignition on wire from Aux activates the PDC and powers the CVPM. Have 3 more circuits that can be added and can support about 100amp plus load. Probably use it to hook up CB and GMRS radio.

Lastly added short hood/lid to finish the look to cover the exposed wires from the rear passenger's view.

All functions verified and waiting on the front LED harness for the Mopar LED headlight swap to do all the work once.

this snips about 6 hours of time, aggravation, and broken interior clips off the install.

Good to know what it will do.

I am making this so that it can be serviced and add more functionality. Once it is all buttoned up IE finalize length of cables, routing and quick connector locations, I will sit down to figure out the cost on my end.

Okay all, I may be putting too much brain power into this but where do you run the washer hose, specifically to the hose pictured below (68370828AA). More specifically where the hell do the attachments connect to the car? The only thing I can figure is they connect to the radiator support structure…

Lastly, does anyone know what part number these parts below that attach the Farka wire to the grille?

weird. Why wouldn't they just put it there in Gladiator?

First of all thanks for the help. I’m at a stopping point due to awaiting the diesel hose coming from the washer reservoir and I got to thinking…do you have access to how they wired the front camera in the wrangler such as the diagram above or the one Jimmy07 posted in his initial thread showing the path of the wiring? Both in the wrangler and the gladiator they take the Farka cable to the drivers side from the camera through the engine bay. Yet in the gladiator the wire clearly comes down the passenger side interior and from the picture above in the wrangler as well. I’m curious if there is a better way that I haven’t explored yet to get the wire inside the cabin despite the circuitous route of drivers side in the engine bay to passenger side in the cabin.

Well I learned a bit tonight after taking apart my center console and finding no place large enough to accommodate the CVPM. I did a deep dive to figure out why exactly they could mount it in the JL there but not the JT. Here to find out there are 2 different center console bases for the JT which are identical to 2 of the 3 in the JL. That’s right, they have a special center console base for JLs equipped with the front trail cam. 6ZU33TX7AB is the part number and it’s about $200. I’m still trying to decide if I want to go this route, but it appears to be an option.

When I saw the 3d diagram and my own console, I thought the Gladiator center console looked different from the Wranglers.

I don't think Wranglers had 120v inverter in the console. I could be wrong.

If the base you have found is compatible with the current console, I say do that. There still is a lot that you need to do make a clean install under the seat.

That could definitely be the case but I find it strange that 2 consoles that fit the JL (LHD of course) are the exact same part numbers as in the JT. On the third one, it states “Center Front. Console base. w/off road camera. w/storage lamp w/off road camera.”

https://www.moparpartswebstores.com/p/Center-Console-Front/103056886/6ZU33TX7AB.html

The crazy part is on all other websites to include BAM and Allmoparparts it list it as RHD with a picture clearly indicating it’s for LHD vehicles and no other site mentions anything about the camera mentioned above.

I’m probably gonna take a shot on it and hope for the best…after all, I’ve spent $200+ on worse things before.

Lastly, now I’m in the hunt for the U-nut that the front hex screws go into on the front of the console that was never installed at the factory…I guess there was a COVID parts supply issue and they only used 3-4 required attachments ?
