On my 2020 Jeep JT, I have a front and rear facing camera. Can I retain both cameras with this unit? Do I need to purchase separate modules to accommodate these cameras?
Yes, you can retain your factory rear-facing camera, but retaining a factory off-road front camera requires a workaround since aftermarket Android head units like the Linkswell XL T-Style 15.6" Multimedia System cannot natively decode the factory digital camera architecture.
Here is how it works for both:
Rear Camera: The factory backup camera is typically retained through the unit's plug-and-play wiring harness and CANbus decoder box, allowing it to display automatically when you shift into reverse.
Front Camera: If your 2020 JT came with the factory off-road trail camera system, it cannot be plugged directly into the Linkswell unit as a digital factory feed. To keep or add front camera functionality, you would typically need to utilize the unit's auxiliary RCA video inputs paired with a universal video retention interface, or install an independent aftermarket front camera connected directly to the head unit's auxiliary input. You do not need a specific proprietary module from Linkswell, but an aftermarket video converter/integration harness or separate camera setup may be necessary depending on your exact factory camera configuration.

I have a 2020 Jp rubicon w the off road screens will this head unit need the ev module to retain those pages?
Yes. To retain and view your factory off-road pages (such as pitch, roll, and live vehicle telemetry) on a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon equipped with the 8.4" Uconnect system, you will need the specialized off-road/EV retention module packaged with the -6H variant of the Linkswell XL-JPJL15-6RR-6H XL T-Style 15.6" Multimedia System.
Without that specific module integrated into the installation, the standard head unit firmware will pull basic CAN bus data for climate and standard gauges, but it will not natively generate or display those specialized factory off-road telemetry screens.

I have the 2021 4xe and I have questions,
Can you still program the factory aux buttons whether its latching or momentary?
The Max Regen braking button, would that option go away or does the Auto Start Stop button become that?
Based on your questions regarding the Linkswell XL-JPJL15-6RR-6H XL T-Style 15.6" Multimedia System for a 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe:
Factory Aux Buttons (Latching vs. Momentary):
Yes, you retain control over your factory auxiliary switches. Because the auxiliary switch configuration (setting them to latching or momentary, battery vs. ignition power, and output behavior) is managed through the vehicle's Uconnect settings menu, the Linkswell system's specialized vehicle settings app maps into these factory parameters. You will still be able to view and program your aux switch settings through the screen interface just like you did on the factory display.
Max Regen Braking & Auto Start-Stop Buttons:
The Max Regen braking option does not go away, and the Auto Start-Stop button does not take its place. On the 4xe, the physical button layout on the lower dash bar (where Max Regen and Auto Start-Stop reside) remains completely untouched because the Linkswell system replaces the center radio display bezel, not your physical toggle switch banks. The Max Regen feature remains fully functional, and its status/controls will continue to integrate with your 4xe's hybrid software screens through the head unit.

Does this unit retain the factory off road pages and other functionality?
Yes, here is how the system handles stock interfaces:
Off-Road Pages & Stock Interfaces: The system retains core factory vehicle settings, climate controls, and standard vehicle data through its native CAN bus harness. However, factory Off-Road Pages (such as pitch, roll, and advanced telemetry specific to factory Uconnect 8.4" systems) are not natively built into the standard Gen 6 software package. To retain or display factory-level off-road pages and hybrid/4xe metrics, a specialized retention module or interface is required.

does this keep your offroad pages and other stock interfaces? Is an additional Sirius XM module needed?
Yes, here is how the system handles stock interfaces and SiriusXM:

However, factory Off-Road Pages (such as pitch, roll, and advanced telemetry specific to factory Uconnect 8.4" systems) are not natively built into the standard Gen 6 software package. To retain or display factory-level off-road pages and hybrid/4xe metrics, a specialized retention module or interface is required.
SiriusXM: An additional satellite radio tuner module is not strictly required if you use the SiriusXM streaming app via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. However, if you want direct, standalone satellite radio reception through the head unit's built-in tuner interface without relying on a smartphone app, you will need to add a compatible SiriusXM tuner module (such as the SXV300).

What component is needed for the gauge data ? IE pitch , roll, temps , etc.
No external add-on component or extra module is required to display standard vehicle gauge data like temperatures, pressures, and system stats.
The Linkswell XL-JPJL15-6RR-6H XL T-Style 15.6" Multimedia System comes out-of-the-box with an integrated vehicle data interface and CAN bus decoder harness that plugs directly into your Jeep's factory data network. This native connection pulls live data straight from the vehicle's computer to populate the on-screen gauges, climate controls, and vehicle status readouts automatically.
(Note: The only specialized module separate from the base kit is the optional Linkswell Off-Road Page / 4xe retention interface, which is specifically required if you want to pull factory off-road pages or hybrid powertrain metrics on 4xe trims.)

Is this radio compatible with the Jeep Rubicon equipped with the Alpine system?
Yes, the Linkswell XL T-Style 15.6" Multimedia System is fully compatible with Jeep Wrangler Rubicon models equipped with the factory Alpine premium audio system. The kit includes the necessary vehicle-specific interface modules and harness adaptors to seamlessly retain and drive the factory Alpine amplifier, door speakers, and subwoofer without losing audio quality or factory controls.
