Backup camera appears different in 2021 JL

[Extremneon]

I too just tried the old model camera finally.. and nothing but black screen also..

So that was a waste money lol... older camera and camera wire.. hahaha

Just sent Motobilt an email also.. hopefully they can fab up something so us 2021 guys can use our backup camera again with the tag relocation kit.

This is what I came up with to use the new camera in the Motobilt bracket. Works great.

I see..... very smart.

Will have to see if I can come up with something similar.

Alright,

Made use of an adapter (parking sensors) that came with a Motobilt bumper and made clip out of it for the backup camera.

Works perfect now, guess live and learn.

Nice work, guys. I just ordered this system with the hopes of fabricating something to work with my 2021 as well. Hopefully, Motobilt gets something out soon, but I spoke with them today and it didn't sound like they were close at all. No timeline at all.

Anyone else have any fabrication ideas?

Bruce,

Thanks for the post, I just sent you email also.

I think I have got my issue solved and has been working just fine with the work around I came up with. But, atleast with a little modification, Motobilt will come up with a revised version for future (2021+) Jeepers to run their camera relocation without much fuss or modification.

Thank you!

Got my updated part from Bruce at Motobilt over the weekend, thank you.

Will hopefully have some time today to give it try and see how it turns out. Will post some pictures up here on the thread this afternoon.

Alright,

The new bracket works perfect for a 2021 JL with the Motobilt Jeep JL Tag Relocation w/ Camera Mount.

Thank you Bruce @ Motobilt
