Removing back up camera?

[Dongem]

I purchased a new spare tire cover for my 2020 Jeep Rubicon. Has anyone removed the back-up camera? I believe that JEEP DId not give me the correct head to remove the screw. It seems the instructions are all for a previous model not 2020. Mine does not look The same.
Thanks

it is a Quarter turn of the little torx screw on the camera housing. The tool should have come with the Jeep, but any hardware, walmart, auto parts store carries these.
Once it’s loose you may have to wiggle,it back and forth a bit. Don’t be too rough, it’s only plastic.
The camera does not come off.....just the plastic housing around it. Your new cover should have a center hole the body of the camera “pokes” thru. After the cover is on the spare the plastic housing may not fit back on. My didn’t so I first left it off.

I moved my camera below the rear bumper.
It now lives just to the right of the receiver hitch.

It should be the T40 bit seen in this pic:

Can I ask how you did this? Is there some kind of a kit? I have a Smitybilt Intelligent rack that needs to mount in my spare, but don't want to lose the camera. Thanks

No kit that I am aware of.
My JL is a 2018 model year. When I ordered it I told the dealer that I needed 2 things...

1.). a front mount 2" receiver hitch for the front to mount my fishing rod rack
and
2.). The camera needed to be moved to accommodate my Thule bike rack which also doubles as sand chair and umbrella rack when I drive the beach.

The dealer was told these were my requirements to buy and needed to be done prior to my taking ownership.
They took the JL to a shop local to me, and they did everything. This shop does all of the dealers 'custom' work.
Now in July of 2018, nobody had anything to fit to the new JL's. This shop found one of the first front receiver hitches, and fabricated the camera mount.

Park Sense doesn't like 'seeing' the bike mount on the rear, but that is easily remedied by turning Park Sense off when the rack is installed.

I've attached some detail photos.

Can you show us the "rear view" from the camera?

Sure. Had to pull out of the garage, but you get the idea.
