Alpine HCE-RCAM-WRA

Alpine HCE-RCAM-WRA Spare Tire Rear-View HDR Camera for Jeep Wrangler JK

Product overview:

The Alpine HCE-RCAM-WRA is a specialized safety solution designed specifically for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK owners. Traditionally, mounting a backup camera on a Wrangler is difficult due to the rear-mounted spare tire. This clever system solves that problem by using an adjustable bracket that mounts directly behind the spare tire, looking through the wheel spokes to provide a clear, unobstructed view. Equipped with HDR technology, it ensures that whether you are backing out of a dark garage or navigating a bright, sun-drenched trail, your visibility remains sharp and balanced.

Features

Seamless Connectivity

The HCE-RCAM-WRA is engineered to work perfectly with Alpine in-dash receivers and any aftermarket screen with a standard RCA composite video input. For those wishing to keep their factory Jeep screen, it can be integrated using the Alpine SGS-CH01 interface (sold separately), allowing for a professional setup without the need for dealer re-programming. The kit includes all necessary extension cables to run through the tailgate and up to the dashboard.

Safety & Convenience

Installation is streamlined and non-destructive. The included sliding bracket system is highly versatile, allowing you to "clock" the camera to the left or right to align it perfectly with the openings in your specific wheel design. This ensures the camera is never blocked by a wheel spoke. By mounting to the spare tire carrier, it provides an elevated, centered perspective that makes hitching a trailer or parking in tight spots much easier than bumper-mounted alternatives.

Enhanced Audio & Ambiance

While primarily a visual upgrade, this system enhances your driving confidence by eliminating the massive blind spot created by the Wrangler’s rear tire. The HDR (High Dynamic Range) sensor is the star of the show, managing extreme light variances to prevent image wash-out. This means when you shift into reverse, you get an instant, high-contrast image that accurately depicts your surroundings, providing a premium "factory-plus" feel to your Jeep’s interior technology.

Fine Tune Your Sound

The HCE-RCAM-WRA features a wide 131-degree horizontal viewing angle, giving you a panoramic look at what's behind you. The system is built to handle the rugged Jeep lifestyle, with a wide illumination range (1.5 to 100,000 Lux) that performs excellently in low-light trail conditions. When paired with a compatible Alpine head unit, you can even overlay and adjust parking guidelines to match your Jeep’s specific width and tire size for pinpoint accuracy.
