What I'd REALLY like, is to disable, or at least change, the speed at which the Quadralift drops from off road 1 to normal. It's really annoying that you can't do 80kph on a dirt road without the suspension lowering - just before you arrive at a river crossing. Is this something that a Uconnect hack could change.
Thanks,
Russell

Harness and cam arrived today, but my question:

on the CAM box is written, "Car Rear View Camera"
Color CCD/CMOS Camera
Parking referent Line
Easys Installation
Wide View Angle
High Definition
Night Vision

Did I get the wrong camera? or can this one be used as front cam?

Next question, I am still waiting for the software, can I install the harness and cam with the standard firmware, will it work until I get the customtronix firmware?

I have already a Rear Cam on my Jeep GC

Regards.

Now I have my harness installed but I am having problems getting the video cable to the engine department, I had no time this weekend so I will try next week again.
I am still waiting for the RAX-Jailbreak software and I was watching lots of videos, install, how it works etc, and I have a question.

I will use the front cam and I have connected an ipod to the cargo cam video imput (with a RCA adapter), will I have to install the cargo cam to get the AUX (video imput from Ipod) working?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Yes cargo can option is used for aux video source.

I know this has been covered but I'm not clear on everything. When a new Uconnect update comes out we have to wait for Customtronix to jailbreak that version and provide us with a new download link?

I skimmed through the thread, I just want to make sure the uconnet apps now work with the NA models that have the bronze rax.

Still haven't found the page that mentions if they fixed it or not.

Also, if I already have the rear entertainment and the bronze package unlocks the front screen video, I could just use the rear entertainment sources in the seats instead of needing the harness to connect an apple tv or similar, correct? Since it has hdmi I was thinking about trying a chromecast.

Yup, everything you said should be correct.

I haven't tried it, but I don't believe the phone creating the hotspot is actually on the network it created. I am thinking I would need another phone with data, or a mobile hotspot device to stream from my original phone.

If mirroring doesn't look/work so well, I would just use another phone/tablet without data to connect to the WiFi network the original phone created to stream content.

I have been busy with a lot of fun stuff for the Jailbreaker:)

We are going to ad something we will call "Splash" changer, meaning you can change the start up logo and back round to whatever you would like:).

Looking into the "Warning Chimes" that makes me crazy, I almost want to smash the dash every time I hear the sound. The Chimes sound comes from the Cluster if you didn´t know that:)it´s a small ugly speaker that only is good for making annoying sounds, it would be pretty easy to just remove that speaker but I guess nobody would like to tear apart the whole dash to get it out, so Im checking if it possible to remove it by the software. it´s not that easy as you would think, the cluster is connected with a different high speed canbus from the headunit but the headunit is just more or less bypassing information to the cluster. So we would need to tap in to that.

some of the features like controlling the lamps, mirrors and etc is not controlled by the head unit. I want to make a OBD dongle that would maybe solve some features I have in mind. It´s not the highest priority but it´s something I need to do for future projects.

ooh almost forgot 2015 headunits has been upgraded!!! at the moment our RAX is not compatible with this units, it´s not that we can´t do them but we need a unit and have to rewrite our software. The official firmware version is 14.39 and will not work on MY 13 or MY14, so they really changed some major stuff. I think that it could be upgraded hardware like processor, XMSIrius decoder and etc. I have ordered one unit and I hope Im able to get it in asap.

I have some request of miracast (I guess it´s because new lock pick has it). You can buy one at ebay for 40 dollars and connect it to the Jailbreaker... we don´t want to start building in hardware in our stuff and get crazy support porblems because it doesn´t work so good..and it also gives you the chance to spend a few dollars more and get a really good one.

off to work again:)

Good to see that you are working at future and current development going well keep up the good work

Customtronix RAX Jailbreak Camera
==========================

Question about the camera, it has a little white wire, does any one of you for what will be used?
Do I need to cut it? is this for the parking lines ?

I haven't install the Software yet, so I can not test it now, but after it is installed it will be difficult to get the wire to cut it.


Regards.

I'd dig around the internet for a manual to figure out exactly. And/or email the vendor to confirm. I've been looking at other cam's and seems sometimes those loops enable/disable the lines and other times they reverse the image depending on brand/model.

sounds like the supplied cameras do not do lines so i'd GUESS- JUST A GUESS- DONT TRY THIS AT HOME- so i'd guess that cutting it reverses the image. AGAIN JUST A GUESS.

from what i've read splicing them back together is not a picnic so best to confirm anything before you cut.

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right spot but I will give it a shot here. I have the RAX Jailbreak and installed the harness today to add Apple Ipod Touch to the "cargo cam" input. I am using an Apple Composite AV Cable. The video plays with no issues but there is no sound playing throughout the car.

Installed the bronze today, speedlock works great.

I have the chromecast in the hdmi from the rear entertainment source. I took the mobile hotspot from the office put it in the car. Now I can mirror the phone or stream anything from it on the front screen and rear screens at anytime.

The normal chromecast streaming apps like youtube, google music, etc...look great. Mirroring the phone to the front screen isn't that great. It looks ok, but don't really see a real use for it right now since I could just stream anything through the chromecast without mirroring. I could maybe see using Waze or Google earth every now and then through mirror.
 
#624 ·
Well...I was wrong about mirroring not being useful. Just got done with an 1:30 drive watching live football through the directv sunday ticket app mirrored to the front screen. It looked and worked great.

I obviously wasn't paying too much attention to the screen while driving, but it was still really nice to have.

So day before yesterday, I received the new update download. Have any of you applied it yet? Any new features? Thanks!

Update is called 14.25.515_EU_RW
 
#627 ·
Are you in the US? The EU in the update title threw me off a bit.
 
#630 ·
FYI if you wondered the same thing I was:
I emailed Magnus the following question and he was super fast in responding:

1Q. Will this roll back you send me work indefinitely in the future after we update with your software or it's unknown and we should request another roll back each time when the time comes?

1A. Well you can use anykind of roll back but it´s good to have the latest. when you get it back you just install the jailbreaker as before.. easy

2Q. When updating the firmware, we should only do so when you send us an email with a new one, correct?

2A. All the updates has to come from us and you will know pretty fast when one is coming out, the update is just a big file no need for tokens and etc.. just plug n play

Enjoy it guys, awesome product and customer service

Ok lots of post about the position of front cams, how many people are using the rear cam?
After seeing it arrive all mounted up in a brake light houseing I havent given it much thought until I went to install it today and found the light supplied differs to the light on my car :confused:

So any suggestions on another good place to put it?
