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.

Introduction & Features

Important Notes

1. 

These instructions only apply to firmware version 14 and harness version 3. The versions can be found on a small white sticker on the 

interface and harness.

2. 

RAM trucks equipped with a manual transmission will not support the forced Reverse Camera or Reverse Output Trigger features.

3.  The Jeep Cherokee and Chrysler 200 will not support the addition of Reverse Camera or Rear Media input.

4.  2017 Dodge Charger, Challenger, Chrysler 300 and vehicles equipped with the 5” screen do not support the addition of Rear Media Mode.

5.  It is very important to follow the exact sequence of installation steps as listed below. Failure to do so will result in the interface not 

working as intended.

6. 

If you change the DIP switch settings, you must disconnect and reconnect power for the change to take effect

7.  The navigation unlock feature must be activated by the SWC every time the key is cycled.

8. 

The VS41 video switcher, AVS21 A/V switcher, or possibly both, must be used in order to use more than one video source with the 

BCI-CH41.

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. 

1. 

Set DIP switches to the ON position that correspond with the features you want to add. Feature DIP switches (1-3) must be set before 

connecting the interface to the vehicle harness.

a. 

DIP switch 4 - Turning ON DIP switch 4 will allow you to access the Feature Settings Menu through the vehicles Multi Function Display 

to turn additional features On / Off. These features can also be set using the BCI App. Please see Page 6 for a full list and description 

of each of the BCI features.

2. 

At this point, you can plug the BCI into a Windows PC and set up the programmable outputs, blind spot and / or front camera operation, 

as well as enable any other features of the BCI using the BCI App. See page 6 for more details on the BCI app.
