Pigtail.
The TJ4001 comes with a built-in Bluetooth microphone,
but we also include a high quality external microphone.
This external microphone will work at just about any
location, but we do have some recommendations for
placement. Try to keep this microphone away from any
windows, air vents, or speakers to avoid background
sounds or feedback. The external mic will plug into the
back of the head unit via a 3.5mm headphone jack plug.

Installing the TJ4001
Connect your camera(s) to the RockCam video RCA
pigtail. We support up to 4 cameras. The pigtail offers
two wires labeled “RockCam Power” and “RockCam
GND” that automatically provide +12V whenever you
reverse the vehicle or open the RockCam app. We
recommend you use these wires to power your cameras.

WARNING
Note: Before making any connections,
unplug the pigtail from the Head Unit
and make sure that everything is
powered off.
Note: If you have a manual transmission
in your Jeep and your camera is not
activating when in reverse, you may
have to perform an additional step.
To connect a rearview camera, connect the camera to the
rear input located on the RockCam RCA Video Pigtail and
connect the trigger wire to the +12 power located on the
RockCam Video Pigtail. The trigger wire is an orange
wire located on the Main Power Wiring Harness. You will
need to locate a wire behind the dash that is “Hot” only
when in reverse. Use that wire to power the camera and
the triggers wire.
Installing the TJ4001
If you see a “No signal” warning, ensure that the front
video feed is connected to “RockCam Video In” RCA port
and the power wires are properly connected.
With the RockCam app, you can even view any
camera installed. Tap on the lower camera pallet at the
bottom of the screen to switch between front, rear and
side views whenever you’re parked or in motion.

Troubleshooting
GENERAL
Head unit not powering ON, no lights, no screen.
Check and reseat your Main Wiring Harness. Remove the black
Wiring Harness plug from the rear of the Head Unit and confirm
that none of the pins are bent, pushed in, or otherwise
damaged. Check that there are no loose or disconnected wires.
Reconnect it, ensuring the plug is inserted evenly and firmly into
the back of the Head Unit. Perform the same check on the grey
OEM Harness plug. Unplug it, and check for bent or damaged
pins or loose wires, and reconnect evenly and firmly.!
It’s important to note that when working with wiring harnesses,
you should never pull on the wires themselves. Every harness
has a clip that needs to be depressed and you should only
push/pull on the plastic harness itself.!

To o a System Reset, open the GPS/SD card cover, the Reset
button is located in the top left corner above the GPS card slot.

paperclip to press the button until it clicks, and then release it.
This will power down the Head Unit and complete a full reboot
without having to disconnect the battery. Be sure not to
confuse the Reset button with the internal microphone, which is
labeled “MIC” located on the front of the Head Unit.!

antenna.!
