Can Backup Camera on 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Be Turned Off When Towing
Question:
I have a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo with a back up Camera. Can I install this hitch and just turn the camera off when I am towing my boat? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
The camera on your 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee should only come on when the vehicle is in reverse. If it also alerts you to the presence of obstructions behind you then you could turn it if it has that feature. My aftermarket backup camera does have a volume control so the alert noise can be turned off. Otherwise, the only time it should bother you is when the vehicle is in reverse.
The Curt hitch # C13065 will fit 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee models with or without a back up camera. I have linked a video showing an installation for you. I also reocmmend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It includes 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
And if you need trailer wiring use # C56009. I have linked the instructions for you.
