Jail breaking is a common term today. These days, you can buy a cell phone that has been jail broken of it’s affiliation with any cellular company. It turns out that with enough ingenuity, you can jail break just about any item. Turns out your navigation system is no different. When we came across the video above showing how the Customtronix system worked we had to share.
Here’s the deal. Customtronix offers three different levels of jail breaking hacks for use on most vehicles. The video above shows one of the versions for the 2014 Ram 2500. Here is a quick rundown on the different options:
- Option 1: Give you access to your navigation and video system making them work the way they would have if you would have opted for that option when you purchased it.
- Option 2: Comes with a camera you can install anywhere. Make it your back up camera or use it as a baby cam, no matter where you install it, you will now see the images on your navigation screen.
- Option 3: Comes with a third brake light with a camera installed. Now, not only does your navigation system work but you have a rear view camera for easy backing up and parking. But, it does more than that, it also gives you a front view. Never again will you wonder how close you are to another car or object when pulling into a parking space. The front camera comes on automatically when the drive function is engaged and stays on until a minimum speed is reached. Then it shuts itself off of for safety.
You are probably thinking how hard is this to install? Or what if I need to take my car to the dealership and they find out about it? All version come with USB and can be installed in just a couple of minutes. Customtronix was careful to protect your factory settings and give you piece of mind. They also send along a jump drive that will wipe their software and restore all of your factory settings in merely 60 seconds. Yep, that’s right you’re covered for the upgrade and the factory settings. Sounds like a plan may be worth looking into.
