Built to handle the toughest of outdoor conditions, the weather-resistant X409-WRA-JK is rated IP53 for protection against dust and ingress. The vehicle-specific dash bezel is precisely fitted to house the screen so no water or dust can enter the electronics assembly. The high-visibility screen delivers cleaner, brighter images even when off-roading on rugged terrain.
As many Jeep® owners enjoy off-road activities like trail rides, the X409-WRA-JK comes equipped with Off-Road Mode with off-road centric vehicle information like vehicle tilt, tire pressure, optimized camera view, and FunTreks trailhead POI database displayed on the large, 9-inch screen. Drivers can revisit their favorite off-road adventures through Off-Road Trip Recording.
The large, 9-inch screen has a WVGA display, Capacitive Touch, and Swipe Graphical User Interface that’s optimized for in-vehicle smartphone use so drivers can access Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ for music, messages, or maps while keeping their eyes on the road. Built-in Bluetooth® is also available for hands-free calling and audio streaming.
Third-party driving maps like Google Maps and Waze are available through Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™, or in areas that don’t have strong cellphone service, the X409-WRA-JK comes equipped with built-in navigation with Turn-By-Turn and Pinch-to-Zoom maps of the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico with The Latest Map Guarantee.
The X409-WRA-JK comes with one camera input that can be assigned as a front or rear camera with various views like ground view and wide-angle views to see past your vehicle and multi-angle views to see two images on the screen.
