Frequently Asked Questions - RVCPR-66 CRUX

What does the CRUX RVCPR-66 interface do?

The CRUX RVCPR-66 is a vehicle-specific interface module that allows you to install an aftermarket radio while retaining factory features such as steering wheel controls, factory amplifier, backup camera, and more.

Which vehicles are compatible with the RVCPR-66?

The RVCPR-66 is designed for select Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM vehicles. Always check the fitment guide on the CRUX website or your vehicle's year/model before purchase.

Is the installation plug-and-play?

Yes, the plug-and-play design uses vehicle-specific T-harnesses. No wire cutting or splicing is required. Simply connect the interface between the vehicle harness and aftermarket radio.

Will this interface work with my aftermarket radio?

The RVCPR-66 is compatible with most aftermarket radios that have standard ISO connectors. However, for full function (e.g., SWC), your radio must support a wired remote input.

Do I need to program the interface?

Some versions may require setting DIP switches for specific vehicle configurations, but many models auto-detect. Refer to the manual for exact instructions.

What if my factory backup camera doesn't work after installation?

Ensure the interface is properly connected and the aftermarket radio has a compatible backup camera input. The RVCPR-66 converts the factory camera signal to composite video.

Can I still use my factory amplifier with this interface?

Yes, the interface retains the factory amplifier and provides necessary audio signal conversion (e.g., balanced to unbalanced) for aftermarket radios.

How do I update the firmware?

Firmware updates are not user-serviceable for the RVCPR-66. If needed, contact CRUX support for assistance.

What is the warranty period?

The CRUX RVCPR-66 comes with a 1-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Where can I find the installation manual?

The manual is available for free download on the CRUX website or from notice-facile.com. Search by model number RVCPR-66.

For the RVC feature, you will only need to set dip switch "2" to ON.

VIDEO IN-MOTION

NO VIDEO IN-MOTION

CONNECTING THE INTERFACE

Follow these steps to properly install interface module.

Step 1 - Remove the factory radio to gain access to the factory 40-Pin connector. Remove the factory 40-Pin connector. Your radio face may differ.

Step 2 - Prior to connecting the interface, we recommend taping the 4 wires necessary to power the module. Connect the 4 loose wires from the harness to the 4 designated wires on the factory 40-Pin connector.

Factory Connector Pin Assignments

COLOR	DESCRIPTION	TAP PIN
RED =	12V CONSTANT	15
BLACK =	GROUND	12
ORANGE/BROWN =	CAN-LOW	9
ORANGE/PURPLE =	CAN-HIGH	11

Crux holds no liability for the vehicle wiring color codes and pin configuration. As there may be changes by the vehicle manufacturer that we may not be aware of. Installer must verify this information prior to being installed.

INSTALLING THE INTERFACE

Follow these steps to properly install the interface module. Prior to installing the interface we recommend disconnecting the negative side of the battery. use a resistor lead if needed, as the manufacturer does not suggest disconnecting the battery cable.

Step 3 - Connect the module to the 8-Pin connectors on the provided T-Harness.

Make sure your connection is firmly inserted into the module.

Step 4 - Mate the 40-Pin T-harness connections, to the factory harness and to the back of the factory radio.

After connecting the module, set dip switch number "6" to the "ON" position. (Latch locks and releases harness)

CODING THE VEHICLE

In order to activate the Rear-View Camera feature, the installer must CODE the car first.

Step 5 - While listening to the FM Source, place dip switch number "2" to the "ON" position on the module.

The screen will power off and begin to reset.
