:iagree: Great job guys :tup:

Hi guys,

Where is the part number and web site fir this? Im in Australia with an 2009 and I'd like to get one. I'll just buy it directly if I can be sure it'll work.

What interfaces are required behind the unit? I know our local aussie spec comes with NAV stock but it doesn't have the HDD like you guys get.

Is the Canadian one the same as the US spec or is it like mine?

Thanks guys
Darren

2010 rear camera install

Did the install Saturday on my 2010 and it worked perfectly. The trunk panels all came out easily with a set of trim removal tools. Took me about 6 hours, but I work very slowly... wheee! I don't know how you did it in 2 hours!

bdl99- you might want to add to the instructions the need to protect the area behind the shifter, where the seat heater switches are located, from scratches because the metal clips under the console finisher piece are sharp.

it says 2009 and 2010, but its really only for 2009. you can be included in the group buy if you want, but your shipping would be more. its 175 plus $10 shipping for the USA, let me know if you are interested. send me a PM with your email address if you are.

Wheee! just ran the wires through the cabin and didn't bother hiding them. :roflpuke2:

it mostly depends on how comfortable you are with taking the interior paneling off. Me and brian probably spent about 4 hours doing the install on my 370z. But ask either of us, and i think we could each do it again in 1.5 hours.

Lol! Sorry DJ, I actually did it properly. Just used to working quickly under pressure! Two hours is plenty of time if you are motivated....
(imagine doing tank turret repairs during a rocket attack and a crew anxious to get back in the fight....!)

I've sent you a PM with details

Radio Shack has various different buttons (small & large) that could be used for the bypass kit. Just need the kit :tup: I think the buttons are the only thing that will be different on car to car because everyone has different options and placement won't be the same for all. So if Brian could provide the harness/kit, i'm sure we could manage to wire some buttons in.

I have a small number of the 32pin connectors required for the bypass kit and there are long lead times (I have ordered more but will take at least 2-3 weeks to come from Japan). I already have all the 24pin connectors for camera kits.

Adding the bypass kit later will be very easy and they do plug in to different places so not then end of the world to do separately. I agree there is interest in the bypass kits but also some are very keen to get their hands on the camera kits.

I also want to get some input on what you guys want. On the GT-R I used a remote because I didn't really have anywhere to put the 3 or 4 switches (or didn't want to). I would really like to work with a few of you on the best solution. I see a few potential offerings
1) For those happy to cut and splice wires then I can just write-up a free DIY guide
2) A plug and play harness so no cutting of original wires is required and you use you own switches
3) A plug and play harness with switches
4) A plug and play solution using the remote

I am wondering if we can't get a solution in 3A, where we use only one switch to bypass the NAV in motion and leave the DVD wire grounded all the time. If the DVD wire has no other effect other than to disable the DVD feature in motion it should be irrelevant to being grounded all the time. That would mean a single switch that could be placed in the console centre position. Centre position for the people with touring model or base as that spot is open on both. A factory style push button switch would be awesome and even better if it had an amber light to acknowledge the bypass mode...
thoughts?
