The last two post are prefect enough for me to get the Camp2. I also want to have a wideband reading on it so i'll ask GTM how they can get that information..

thanks again.

Is the Nissan CONSULT harness required or are you good to go with just the unit..??

No. It should come with an OBD2 cable.

very nice!..i'll have to talk to Sam about this one..

The consult harness is not required. The g35\g37\350z\370z all work with the HKS Camp2 with no harness according to HKS. Plug and play, running the cables to the glove box where I mounted my Camp2 was easy as well.

Once Pioneer releases a new 7" monitor or find one I like, I will be custom fabbing a 2nd screen above my nav unit for a dedicated engine monitoring setup. Dreamer beat me to it :icon23:

However I would like to eventually solder the OBDII cable to the factory wires. Or by one of these bad boys so I can continue to have and open OBD2 port.

This is a picture I took before I tuned the unit.

BTW,

I contacted GTM and they don't have a way to get wideband on the CAMP2. They suggested the FCON (which HKS suggests also) for AFR. I already have a wideband gauge so no harm, no foul.

A couple of questions:
One, I don't have my stock radio. Would it be a wise installing the CAMP2 on a screen where my stock radio should be?

Should I buy a stock NAV and install it that way?

You can put it on whatever screen you want that accepts rca's.

Not exactly what I was asking but that's my fault for not being clear. I was trying to see if installing a LCD screen in replacement of the stock radio would be ok considering that I may need to see the information while I'm driving. I decided that I don't track my car long enough to really NEED to see the information to the 10 minute recording time should be enough for me.

I'll take to remember to post pix when I have everything installed and working.

BTW, I choose the CAMP2 over the Magden (and other alternatives) because I'll eventually engine build and I'll probably need the F-CON V PRO.

is that the only viewing option or can you do digital gagues?

Digital: Digital you have two options, 3 or 6 viewable items

Sort of analog: I say sort of because it is the analog option but I did option 2 in it. 1 analog gauge and the rest digital. If you do option 1 it is 3 analog gauges and no digital

That's still better than putting in a pillar pod IMO, looks more clean and factory. seeing it on your car def makes me want to order. Nice setup, how is the reaction laggy at all or pretty smooth?

Lag is very little and sometimes it is nice having just a little bit as it gives me a chance to look at it and check on something that I heard to verify everything is good.

theDreamer: Any chance you could post what other accessories other than the Camp2 unit you are using, like the connector to monitor boost etc..

It is all a package basically, you buy the HKS Camp II and then there are add on sensors.
HKS USA CAMP2 Optional IF Unit and Sensors
That link is to all the optional sensors you can add into the system for anything it does not read directly.

ok thanks.. so just so I'm reading that right, If I were to buy the Boost Sensor, part #44999-AK021, I need to get the Meter Interface Unit, part #44008-AK011 to connect that too right? And that Meter Interface Unit connects to the Camp2?

That part I am not 100% on as I just told the guys at Baker to order it and make sure I could read boost.

Yes you need the interface unit to connect any of the extra sensors that HKS sells.

That is correct.

To bad the Camp 2 will not read the OEM Widebands.

The blitz does look at my thread you will see bank 1 and 2 on my screen

But the Blitz has far less options than the HKS

as in what?

can the Blitz read boost?

^^ thats what I'd like to know too.. I have my local shop looking into it.. as the Blitz website is kinda sucky.. I'll let you all know what I find out.

These are the only add-on's for the Blitz unit:


Temperature Sensor - part no 19210

Pressure Sensor - part no 19211

A/F Analyser - part no 15063

I dont know the limit of sensors you can install on the Blitz, but one installer told me 2. The HKS has the possibility to install 6 sensors I believe.


Edit: Not that the Blitz is a bad unit at all because its a great unit and the GUI is very nice to look at. But for those looking for more sensors the Camp2 is the way to go. And no there is no boost reading on the Blitz unit that I am aware of. One thing the Blitz has that HKS does not is the AF but I personally will use the well proven and accurate HKS AFK2 for that function. Also the Blitz GUI is way better looking than the HKS in my opinion. When it all comes down to it, if you want a plethora of gauges but dont want them all scattered on your dash, the Camp2 is the one stop shop and the Blitz is one sexy beast too.

OK I see what your saying. But the optional sensors you can buy for the HKS the blitz has built in and is able to read with out the purchase of additional sensors, except for the boost and oil pressure. Like sam told me, boost, a/f, ignition, air temp, oil pressure, oil temp and water are really the only guages you need. You get this all cheeper through the blitz then the HKS. I monitor boost through my boost controler and then the blitz does the rest. Add all them sensors in plus the AFK2 for the te a/f and you will have payed a good amout above what the blitz cost.

BTW,

I choose to not go with the CAMP2. I'll probably kick up the GREDDY touch screen system instead.

That looks pretty cool.. can that monitor A/F?

Probably not but I did meet a dude with the Blitz system installed and he had it hook into the 'stock A/F sensor.' I suppose it's possible.

Bump.

After looking into this again, I don't think an expensive after market display is worth it. After researching HKS product, I got turned off and I was interested in the GReddy Touch screen solution... then I started wondering why should I even have an aftermarket display to begin with considering that GReddy's product looks just like a phone.

For my situation:
I don't need to 'record' my track times nor do I NEED an aftermarket display. I already have my AFR and Boost gauge (via HKS EVC). A phone app would suite me better: OT-2 OBD-II WiFi Interface for PCs and Smartphones

There's positives and negatives but having my phone play music, navigation, monitor my OBD II, text, make calls, blah blah blah is prefect for my situation.

My review of the Camp 2>>

HKS Camp 2 Monitoring System ? Review – Q8mods.com

Can someone tell me how to make this work WHILE DRIVING with the 2009 factory nav system?

Thanks,
blue

Think you need something called NavTool, and a way to bypass video playing while driving.

Navtool
NISSAN 370Z 2009-2010 NAVIGATION VIDEO INTERFACE

U can find it cheaper if u look around. I paid 200 on ebay for a new one

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissa...fAudioQ5fVideo

offer $200 and he will take it

ya i got myine for 190 on e-bay

if you need some info about hooking this up let me know. I can be done without the nav tool but then there are no tunes when you are driving and the Camp on the screen

I got ripped off

Thanks!

I offered the guy on Ebay $180 and had it within 3 days

both of you guys bought yours at ebay and both unit's doesn't work. wft!!! i bought mines directly at navtool for $350.00 but works flawlessly. i think you 2 got a clone or something lol
