I really like this idea, ordered this unit today.Easy upgrade for those that like to see what’s going on under the bronco.
Why you ask? I like to see in real time my under lines, wheel angle, suspension load/angle, split high spots, which tire is slipping/lifted and anything falling off the truck or dragging.
Looked at a lot of kits. Settled on this wireless one. Screen and camera quality are really good. It comes with 2 cameras and is capable of supporting 4. Can we say rear trailer view?
Also supports a memory card for full hd recording. Has all the mirror flip options, supports split view.

Hook up is straight forward. They have 2 wires. Pos and neg. That’s it. Camera stream connection is wireless and damn near instant. Refresh rate is great, no blur. They have sufficient ir lights to see everything underneath at night.
I first mounted the screen above my lifter switched. Unit fits perfect in that spot. I just used 4 short screws to mount it
Then I tested and picked out 2 semi protected spots for the belly cams. Higher than the skids but can still see the wheels. I did hit 2 known spots at holly for dragging the belly. Cameras never hit, but did drag the mid skid and tank skid.
I mounted the brackets with a single self taper. That way the screw head should snap off before the camera get damaged. I used a 5/32 bit to pre drill the cross bars. Front bar you have to stay in the bottom 1” where my finger is. Above that, it’s doubled. Metal is thick but soft.
Rear cam facing forward is the same 5/32 pre drill with 1 self taper. This metal is a lot thinner. No restriction for hole location on this one.
I ran the wires through the frame on the drivers side then into the engine bay and hooked the cameras into my grill and visor backlights on a lifter.
This setup performed above my initial expectations for quality, blurring, and not getting hit. If you wheel alone like I do most the time, this is a very worthwhile upgrade. Specially adding in 2 more cameras for trailers. Can do a inside and rear. Leave them attached. When you hook up to the trailer, they will auto connect.
For display power I came down the passenger side and T tapped the orange wire under the passenger sil gaurd. I’ll grab a pic if it tomorrow in the light. It’s on the acc switch and runs all the way to the back pass taillight. The camera power I tapped off one of my running lights off the lifter switch. I have 4 wires running around the top of the window and down the passenger pillar. Real easy path to hide wires. I’ll take a pic of that for you too. Only pieces you need to take off are the sil plate and the passenger kick panel.I really like this idea, ordered this unit today.
2 questions about your install
1) The short screws to mount the display to the area above the aux switches, is there anything
behind those screws that I need to worry about a particular screw location or is it pretty open?
2) For Powering the display, did you just tie into the prerun aux wire behind the pillar trim or other?
Thanks for sharing this, cool idea, looking forward to getting it installed when it arrives.
Looks like a $45 coupon today! Good find.FYI, this dual camera system is on sale for $160 after $40 coupon today. Ordered

Nice! Use mine all the time.@Ground_zero298 Thanks for leading the way on this, pretty much copied how you did it. I have the screen and both cameras wired to a single aux switch.
I thought that at first. Way nicer with its own screen. Can run the bronco’s cameras on the 12”.Really wish there was a way to tie in to the 12" screen instead
I run door and topless for 4 months out of the yearI thought that at first. Way nicer with its own screen. Can run the bronco’s cameras on the 12”.
I think if you can find a camera system with video output, then you can wire it to naviks camera/video module, and finally enable video in motion.I thought that at first. Way nicer with its own screen. Can run the bronco’s cameras on the 12”.
