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.

What Others Are Saying
Eddie was great - SDCS installed a new head unit in my 2019 4Runner. He was honest in his opinions regarding the options I was considering. Pricing was also good - he was able to reuse some of my existing installation kit so I saved a bit of $$.Installation was clean and fast and he took the time to walk through the features before I left. Highly recommend!!
I had a great time at this shop! The staff really knows their stuff and took the time to explain the different options without pressure. Installation was quick, clean and professional. Everything looks factory and sounds amazing. The prices were fair and customer service was above and beyond. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for quality car audio and excellent service.
Those guys are really professional! I had a new Alpine floating head unit installed in my 2008 Mercedes, and it feels like a brand-new car. The installation was super clean. At first, the sound wasn’t the same as the factory stereo, but Kevin tuned it to be just as good—if not better—without adding any new amps. They even used my factory GPS antenna so I don’t have extra wires hanging out. On top of that, they matched the online price. Big thanks to Kevin and Eddie—highly recommended!
Kevin was awesome, he took his time and explained everything to me. I went in initially for a dash cam install and then decided to get a sub and amp installed as well. Both turned out great and will be returning if I need more work done.
Came In not knowing what to expect when suddenly my stereo stopped working. Spoke with Kevin in the front and after a VERY fast diagnosing they discovered my wiring was incorrect. After only about 45 minutes total being in the store I was on my way to the beach with a working stereo again! Thank you so much SDCARSTEREO
Highly recommend Kevin and the team at San Diego Car Stereo for any issues with aftermarket stereos. I bought a car with an aftermarket stereo and AC unit that wasn’t working properly—specifically, the heat wasn’t functioning due to an improper setup. I had several people look at it with no luck, and even the dealership basically refused to help because it was an aftermarket install. I came to Kevin and his team over the holidays feeling pretty defeated, but he was confident he could get the heat working before I headed back to a Colorado winter. Sure enough, he got it done.
