I hope this isn't breaking any forum rules, but I am selling both the navtool for the 09 (bought from this group buy) and a pioneer ND-BC4 cam.

Well, my Z was away for the winter and I finally got around to installing the camera. I have to say, for a guy who never so much as changes a fuse on a car, the install was fiarly simple. I took my time and did it in 4 hours. If I can do it, anyone can.

I do have one question though. After it was installed, the first few times I placed the car in reverse, the only lines that appeared where the red, yellow and green markers. I never made any adjustments and now, a full orange "box" has appeared on top of those markers. I'm not particularily found of that orange box. Anyone know how to get rid of it and simply have the red, yellow and green markers?

I want to get rid of this line if possible.

Got the kit yesterday. Took about 5 hours to do the install. Mostly because I spend a lot of time dealing with the roof compartment in the roadster.

For anyone doing a roadster the easy way to do a roadster is to open the top halfway to where the roof compartment is all the way up and the back portion of the roof is flipped up. Then find a strut (I used a 1X2 piece of scrap in my woodshop) to prop the roof compartment hatch up. Then take the two push in snaps out of the front of the covers on each side of the compartment cover. Then take out the two push in clips holding the cover behind each seats. Finally take out the two rests on the bottom of the compartment by prying from the font side of the clip. At that point the whole cover will just fold up to the rear of the compartment and you can take the big piece of foam out and get to fishing...

The last thing is when you finish up just take the roof and manually push it into the storage area. its all hydraulic and there will be no pressure left by the time you are done. If you try and activate the roof it won't do anything until you drop the roof into the cover area. After that it is all normal again.

Difficulty is a 4 only because of dealing with the roof compartment is a pain.

Nice kit Brian. Thanks for putting it all together.

I would personally zero out the Steer. Max Angle, Min. Turning Red, and Steering Gear Ration. as these things seem to be the only items that pertain to steering which is what the orange box indicates (the path that you will travel when you turn the wheel).

I kind of like the orange box as it does a pretty good job of projecting your path based on how hard you cut the wheel.

My shop tried installing it this past weekend and they couldnt get it to work...
okay, finally installed Navtool unit & kenwood cmos 200 camera. Navtool unit is working red power light is on but when in reverse no backup camera image??

Followed all wiring connection & double checked(multimetered for voltage)...purple "reverse" wire from cmos 200 tapped into orange reverse light, ACC red wire tapped into push start ignition & grounded black wire, all these 3 wires connected to power supply box side labeled 'camera'.
Cmos 200 video cord of camera connection cord plugged into video 2 of Navtool unit with one end to power supply box & other end to camera itself.

Navtool; video 2 used, DC12V jack- black w/ white stripes to 12v acc. power & black wire grounded, RGBS position, green & 2 white wires grounded, blue wire to reverse light wire, connected plug & play Navtool harness to navtool unit & oem nav system.


Question?- does the oem nav system needs to be switched to backup camera setting?, if so I couldn't find such a setting on the screen.

I forget exactly which menu...but it's under settings > camera or something like that. Just disable the predictive steering lines.

If you can make another kit, I am interested in a bypass as well as a camera harness kit. I already have the Kenwood CMOS-200 camera so a combo of the rest would be all I need. Thanks just let me know the price and where to send the payment.

Details are available here with pricing and ordering details. Currently the switch based bypass kit is on a waitlist due to availability constraints of the heated seat switches and associated harness from Nissan.

I was going to offer combined shipping, but the savings would only be $5-10 at most and the extra effort in maintaining separate items or adding a cart based ordering system just wasn't worth it.

Hi,

I don't really if that the correct place to post. If it isn't please excuse me and show me where to post that. Did a few searchs but didn't find any thing.

I bough this camera and followed the guide for installation. Only the camera, no remote to activate it on demand.
Everything went smoothly.

But now, sometimes, not every time, when I switched out of reverse, the camera stays on screen.
Not any of the buttons would work.
If I stop the engine and restart it immediately, it's still displayed, I have to stop it for a few minutes to get the thing to work correctly.

Did I miss something during installation?
Had anyone got this before?

Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

I've seen this a couple of times. Please check the configuration numbers were entered correctly and specifically the first number which is a negative.

To enter the negative number you first enter the number and then use the +/- button to toggle between positive and negative. This is really counter intuitive, so you may have thought you entered a negative number but didn't.

Anyway, I pretty sure that if you correct any mistakes on the numbers the problem will go away. What is happening is it is a computer after all and it is effectively locking up when trying to do the grid line calculations.

Let me know if you have any other problems or questions.

Brian

mwurst2003 07-31-2011 10:25 AM
Brian, Installed Bypass and Camera yesterday. Everything works as promised. It took me about 5 hours - with most of the time figuring out simple things like how to disconnect the connections on the unit. It also took me a little time to feed the camera wire between the trunk and passanger compartment. Keep in mind I'm a complete notice - so there was a lot of thinking time. Best wishes and thanks for the back and forth e-mail help. Joe

I remember taking extra care on that part at installation time but when I checked that, it wasn't negative... (probably because if you put all the number written, then, even if you push +/-, it won't change, you have to remove the last '0' to get it to work... so lame of them).

So corrected that. I'll update you with the result, but unfortunately, this won't be in the next 2 weeks, as I won't be able to drive it in the mean time.

Thanks for your help !

The remote version is favored by the roadster owners because I believe there is no blank switch to place the extra heated seat switch.

The US MY2010 was the first US 370z that included the new digital navigation system that my kit requires, the US MY2009 used the older Non digital Navigation System.

For those older systems a Composite to RGB video converter is required. Search for Navtool and you should find what you are looking for.

I'm interested in the kit for 370z roadster 2010.

1. I already have a backup camera bought from here. The camera was very cheap, but I don't know if it's working with my/your system.

2. I live in Europe; can I pay via PayPal ?

This is my unit:

1. That camera should work, but I cant speak for the quality or how long it will last.

As long as you have the newer AV system my kit will work. You can check this by doing the following:
With Radio off
Press and hold the “Settings” button and turn the volume control counter clockwise.
After about 40 clicks a menu will appear
Select “confirmation/adjustment”
Next move down to “Camera” and select
Then select “Camera Syst Type” and change from “No Camera” to “With Rear view Camera”
Come all the way out of the menus using the back button and the system will reboot
Now when you put the car in reverse, if a blue screen appears with “Please check your surroundings” message your car is compatible
2. I've sold kits to many parts of Europe and yes you can pay by Paypal. You can see more details and order here --> Car Kit Company

Thanks,
Brian

Currently demand it slightly greater than supply. Everyone on the waiting list was informed today that I had stock to cover their orders. Now I'm waiting for the next batch.

Last call for the 2009 navtool group buy:
http://www.the370z.com/audio-video/3...tml#post909221


I'm posting this thread to gauge interest from those with 2009 and 2010 370'z with OEM Navigation. As many of you know, the 2011 Navigation includes a Rear View Monitor. If this can be retrofitted into 2009 and or 2010 370Z's with OEM Navigation, we could possibly arrange a group buy from one of the vendors or supporting Nissan dealers, or at least let them know there is interest in the part and it is something we would like them to carry. Perhaps one of them would be able to shed some light on the compatibility and cost of the unit, and maybe even installed prices.
Since there are differences between the 2010 and 2009 nav, it is possible that the 2011 Rear view monitor may only be compatible with the 2010, or none at all. I'm sure that, no matter what, we would need some sort of a software update as well. Regardless, lets get a list going of those of us with 2009/2010 with Nav, who'd like to have this part installed.

List your username and your model year. i will update this post with a list of those interested, separated by model year.

Thanks for the details about it. and glad to say that the rear view camera in tmart really good!
And are there anything about the OBD worthy to have a shot？

Thechidz 10-11-2011 02:44 AM
anyone know an affordable installer for the backup camera kit in ny area? its not a good idea to put tools in my two left hands. thanks

I've not had good luck with the cheaper cameras, they work but I find they fail over time. Maybe things have improved but something to be aware of if you are paying someone else to install. I use the Kenwood CMOS-200 which is $150 so definitively more expensive but very very reliable.

What do you want to do with OBD?

Do you already have the camera kit? Do you have a 2009 or 10/11?

If you are willing to take a trip to NJ (Princeton Area) I maybe able to help.

Thechidz 10-11-2011 04:39 PM
Still possible to score any deal on here? And does navtool do installs locally or recommend anyone? Thanks!
