Did some digging and found that it does have one side view camera under the mirror with a separate display in the door, by the looks for child or midget bicycle safety. ?

Camera can be seen at 1:12 and display shown at 3:10, seemingly the Jeep talks back to you in Japanese when you press something wrong (2:48), found that funny. ?

Wow it is like the Honda mirrors. That display (location/ size) though is terrible. Wonder why they didn’t just utilize the center unit ?

Interesting. It looks like the camera is for parking. They might have strict laws on distance from curb / out of the street you have to be. Note that a Wrangler would be considered to be pretty massive over there.

Maybe the Jeep is classified as a truck in Japan, and maybe they have some law for blind spot monitoring over there that then applies for Jeeps too. That place is a huge blind spot on larger trucks and lorries.

I believe it’s so that you can check the monitor and mirror at the same time before doing a left hand turn.
