Have 2014 Grand Cherokee equipped with reverse sensors and back-up camera. Does this hitch step interfere with either system?

Nope it does not interfere. This is installed on my wife's 2013 JGC Overland and no problems at all. In fact, it gives you a good reference as you back up!

It shouldn't. It only slides into and pinned in the two inch receiver hitch. There is no electrical connection of any type to connect too.

I currently have this step on a 2010 F150. My reverse park aid sensors are in my bumper the hitch step is below the bumper and does not interfere with the sensors The sensors still give a accurate measurement of distance to any object. As far as a backup camera on a Ford the camera is on the tailgate in the Ford emblem which is high enough not cause a problem. Hope this helped.

Installed this on my 2014 Honda Pilot with sensors and camera. No problems. So no it does not interfere with either system. Good reference point when you're back up. It sticks out about 6 inches. You can see the hitch step on your display when backing up so no worries you'll hit the other car or something.

No, because it is only use as a back-up camera, if your gps has those features, then alerts may come into play while you in reverse...

We have a Grand Cherokee Jeep SUV. No issues at all. I can see out of the bank window with no obstructions.

Absolutely. This is a phenomenal unit and you can actually install two of these in the same space as one. Doing that enables you to use the gps while backing up and you use the other one to monitor while you backup. I find the gps and rear view camera enable me to actually travel to work at full reverse speed since forward doesn't work in my truck anymore. I encourage you. Install 2!

If you have a factory video system with VES it should work. A easy way to tell is take a digital camera and open the Back of your grand Cherokee. with the video system on and a DVD playing look thru the digital camera if you see some pink lights around the monitor they will work . these headphones require infrared signal. You can do this at night to see the lights better. Your digital camera is more sensitive than the human eye. You can also try this with a regular TV remote. Hope this helps message me with any more questions

The wiring harness for the radio has a pink ot orange wore that you need to connect to your reverse backup light. That is your power for the camera. The harness usually runs on the right side kick panel and back to the tail lights

Yes the BC camera is wireless(sends signal to navigator's receiver mount up to 45ft, further with extension cable), There has to be a power source such as your back-up lights so that every time you switch to reverse the camera picks up your rear area pathway. The camera works alongside Nuvi 2798LMT, RV 760LMT and dezl 760LMT. There is no reason why your unit should not work on your truck. If in doubt check with a Garmin tech.

Not sure what you have in mind. You normally put accessory units above the receiver and it does not interefere with towing. Below the hitch would make it impossible to tow simultaneously. Hope this helps.

in order to sense things close to the ground sensors are better placed in the bumper. Yes, then it will only come on when you have the car in reverse

I had to connect the camera to my alpine head unit HD920. Then there was a wire off of the head unit that tied into the gear shift to activate it when you put the vehicle in reverse. So to specifically answer your question no you do not tie it into the the reverse light but you do have to tie it into something that can tell it when you put the vehicle into reverse. Hope that helps. Steve N

You need to have the GPS turned on, If the camera is wired right with the back up lights, the camera will work in reverse gear.

Hi Daniel,I was planning on using the stock GM XM antenna also but found it was integrated into the stock wiring harness. I suppose if you dis-assemble the antenna and can trace the wire coming into the dash the answer would be yes. I was able to reuse the motion sensor lead for the GPS positioning as it was a separate wire. I didn't have an existing backup camera and suspect it will be integrated as well...you might be able to splice the lead into the supplied RCA cable connector....Good Luck!Tom

Nope you don't even have to be in gear for it to work. It is not designed to use as a rear view camera because the camera is not designed to be out in the elements. Plus the camera can't be that far from the receiver, the final reason this wouldn't work is the picture isn't that clear until you get the hitch closer to the receiver.

yes if you switch to av2 it shows the rear view camera, and it will auto turn on when you go in reverse if its off

it might be it has a wire for backup camera and we put it in a 1973 dodge pickup, had a wire to touch it and say there was something behind us..i couldn't tell you, you'll have to contact the company on that.

Why would I know? I have a 2012 Grand Cherokee! Your inquiry has been misdirected.

I use this rack on my 2011 Grand Cherokee and it works fine. I do not notice any 'noise' issue from it, unless I have put kayaks and their holders on the rack, but the noise is coming from the kayaks, not rack I believe. I can't answer if it will work with your newer Jeep...
