PAC BCI-CH41 User Manual

BCI-CH41 (v2)
Introduction & Features
The BCI-CH41 will program your Chrysler / Dodge / Jeep / RAM radio to allow the addition of a reverse camera or Rear
Media input if the vehicle is not equipped with these features from the factory (reverse camera and video source sold
separately). The BCI-CH41 will also allow the factory navigation features of your radio to be used by the passenger at
anytime. The interface can also be configured to add even more features, such as: Blind Spot Cameras, Front Camera,
Eco Mode Memory, Auto Start / Stop Memory, Sport Mode Memory, Remote Start Climate Restore, Steering Wheel
Control (SWC) swap, EQ Presets, and three programmable 12v outputs. The BCI-CH41 also has on-demand activation
of rear or front camera.

9. If navigation is being used and the camera input is engaged UNDER 20 MPH, it will affect the navigation guidance until the camera
input is switched off.
10. Vehicles without audio SWC (located on the back of the steering wheel) will not support the Navigation Unlock or SWC Swap features.
11. You cannot force the front camera when the reverse camera is active as reverse camera always takes priority.
