BCI-CH41
Navigation Unlock & Reverse Camera Input
Interface for Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram Vehicles
Pacific Accessory Corporation
The BCI-CH41 is a Navigation Unlock integration interface that allows the factory navigation features
of your Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/RAM radio or the reverse camera to be used by the passenger at anytime.
The BCI-CH41 will program the factory radio to allow the addition of a reverse camera input if the
vehicle is not equipped with one from the factory (reverse camera sold separately). The interface also
offers extra features such as: Audio/Video input capabilities, Eco Mode Memory, Remote Start Restore
Climate, Steering Wheel Control (SWC) swap and a programmable 12v output.
Introduction & Features
Important Notes
1. RAM trucks with uConnect 5 but without audio SWC will not support the Navigation Unlock, Video in Aux or SWC Swap features.
2. RAM trucks equipped with a manual transmission will not support the forced Reverse Camera, Reverse Output Trigger or Video in AUX
features.
3. RAM trucks equipped with a cargo camera: If you use the BCI-CH41 to add reverse camera, the “Cargo Camera” button will disappear
from the screen. You can either turn the Reverse camera feature off in the menu to get the button back, force the reverse camera to see
the cargo camera image or use the AVS21 to feed both the reverse and bed camera into the radio.
4. The Cherokee and 200 will not support the addition of an aftermarket Reverse Camera.
5. It is very important to follow the exact sequence of connector attachments during installation. Failure to do so will result in the interface not
working as intended.
6. The navigation unlock feature must be activated every time the key is cycled.
7. The navigation unlock feature must be turned on and activated in order to use the Video in Aux feature.
8. The navigation unlock feature must be de-activated in order to access the settings menu.
9. The Multi-Function Display (MFD) must be set to see radio text in order to see any of the text generated by the BCI-CH41.
10. The OEM reverse camera will turn off when the vehicle exceeds 5 MPH. This is a limitation of the vehicle, not the BCI-CH41.
11. The AVS21 A/V switcher must be used in order to use more than one video source with the BCI-CH41.
12. The Eco Mode Memory feature is only available for the 2014 Dodge Durango and 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
13. The Remote Start Restore Climate feature will set the climate controls, in vehicles equipped with auto climate controls, to whatever they
were left at when the car was turned off.

from BCI-CH41
1. Make sure multi function display in the cluster is set to show the radios text.
2. Turn the vehicle off.
3. Disconnect the main harness from the back of the radio.
4. Connect the main factory harness into the female connector on the BCI-CH41 harness.
5. Connect the BCI-CH41 harness to the back of the factory radio.
6. Plug the black micro-fit 24-pin connector on the BCI-CH41 harness into the BCI-CH41.
7. Turn the ignition to the on position.
8. Wait for the MFD to display the message “Ready. Turn vehicle off for 5 minutes”.
9. Turn the vehicle off and wait 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, turn vehicle back on and test BCI operation (see operation section).
If you are adding a reverse camera
10. If you are using the BCI-CH41 to add a reverse camera input, connect the aftermarket reverse camera’s video output to the female yellow
RCA located on the radio side of the BCI-CH41 harness. Use the BCI-CH41’s red camera turn on wire to power the aftermarket reverse
camera. This wire only supports 1 amp of current draw so a relay is necessary. Please follow the wiring diagram below for adding the relay.
If you are only using the BCI-CH41 as a navigation unlock, this step is not necessary.
If you are adding an additional A/V input
11. If you would like to add an additional A/V source, connect the A/V outputs from the source to the A/V inputs on the radio side of the BCI-
CH41 harness. If you have more than one source, an AVS21 must be used. You can use the reverse camera output wire to trigger the A/V
switcher. Please see the Settings Menu section on pages 2 & 3 to configure the reverse output trigger to suit your needs.
