OhareFred Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 This has been covered multiple times in the forum.. Try doing a search, there were several writeups on how to do it and what goes where. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to hunt down those preinstalled wires for weeks and cannot find the end of them or the connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N87 Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I had back up camera installed on my 2017 DJ earlier today. Dealer had run wires from the headunit all the way to the back. They do not prewire backup cameras at the factory. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t find anything but a bunch of dead ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyman.geo Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Jorgev2, were you able to hook up and use the back up camera? I have a 2015 journey and installed the factory camera and harness bought through the Mopar site. The set up was about 250 total but I bit the cost to keep everything stock. It took about three hours with a few breaks in between but the instructions that came with them were very straightforward. The only item I could not do was set the code on the computer to read the camera. The dealership did that for me....for a price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stiers11 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I found the wires. Spent about 5 minutes with a line toner to hunt down where they go. They just don't go to the back of the car. The Journey's Radio harness is prewired for the camera. Unfortunately the body harness is NOT. The wires that are already in the plug on the back of the radio go down to the big white connector in the drivers side kick panel by the hood release. Unfortunately, they don't go any farther than that. The body side of that connector does not have wires in the pins. I'm not sure why Dodge didn't make the kit to tap into the wiring in the kick panel, since that is where it would in the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 so then you didnt find the wires at the rear of the journey, RIGHT. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armando G Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Has anyone found this wire? I would love a bit of hope that they are there before I dive into adding a camera myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armando G Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I meant, has anyone found the wires at the tailgate end. I realize he found them at the front end of the car, jkeaton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyman.geo Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 All, did the camera kit you purchase have the step by step to install the wires and connectors into the correct harness block? The mopar kit had all the items needed to install the harness into the existing system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
