If everyone agrees on something like this and if the cost/time to produce is reasonable I'll talk it over with the guy I'm working with and do what I can to help make this available to the forum. I'll also shoot AK a PM to see if I'd have to become a sponsor or not if everything were to work out.

awesome, so if the part your friend is making works, what would we actually need to buy from the dealer?

the sooner we figure out what parts we need for each application (09 vs 10) , the sooner we can get moving on this

Thanks much to DeLRo for taking an initiative on the install and fabrication of the new piece.

2009 interested here.

I am still looking into a OEM accessory kit. A national tech should be getting back to me soon.

Lou, if it's easier to locate also check to see if you can just get the male female plugs/sockets for the M93: 24-way connector on the Nav screen and M202: 40 way on the A/V unit. That is the main item needed to make this work without cutting into the factory wiring.

add me on the 09 list plz!

Jeffblue · 10-25-2010, 11:59 AM

could someone with an '09 confirm whether or not this works with the '09 nav?

Although I think you can do it with the starter in the ON position or with the engine running. Turn off your radio, hold down setting button and turn volume control counter-clockwise about 3-4 full turns until the screen changes. You will be taken to a diagnostics screen where you can access numerous features.

Here are the camera adjustments....

Once you make changes just turn your radio back on and the system will reboot with the new settings.
If you turned the camera settings to on, then after you reboot and shift into reverse you will see this screen.

I'm currently working with someone who is assisting me in creating a harness to plug in without any mods to the current wiring. As soon as I test it I will get a DIY going and talk to the guy to see if he's interested in producing a few kits to make it easier on everyone. From the work I've seen it'll be as good as OEM with no additional drilling, wiring, or soldering. Just plug-n-play and quite possibly for 1/2 the $$$ from the factory.

DeLRo, this vendor at the GTR forum seems to have fabricated something similar to what we need. i'm not sure if it would work for our cars but i commented on his thread. you seem to know a lot about this, maybe you could chime in over there.

Hi Guys,

I made the discovery about the 2011 GT-R and posted the details on the GT-R forum HERE

I then made the kits available HERE and offered both a complete kit (with camera) and one with just the harness.

I've been contacted by a couple of 370Z owners (including DeLRo) and working with them we've established that the 370Z with Satnav is the same as the GT-R. There are some minor differences in the wiring but the same harness approach will work.

Let me know if you want some help either in creating a 370Z harness or just sharing how to do it.

Cheers,
Brian

UTpunkX · 10-25-2010, 06:10 PM

Definitely interested for my 2010.

bdl99 · 10-25-2010, 06:29 PM

Perhaps someone with a 2009 model can help establish something.

With the GT-R (at least on the NA models) the NAV system was upgraded with higher resolution screen and switched to digital RGB rather than analog RGB on the 2011 model. It appears from researched to date that the 2010 370z with SatNav has the newer AV and Screen also and my harness approach will work.

Can someone with a 2009 model try the hidden menu (detailed above) and see if the camera option is present and if it is when the camera is enabled that the screen goes blue when the car is placed in reverse.

hey Bdl, as far as i know, the '09s require an external device to trigger the screen switch when reverse is activated.

OK, thanks. So it sounds like the 370z '09s are like the GT-R '10s. I've been comparing wiring diagrams and I'm now 99.9% certain that I can create a harness for the 370z '10s with SatNav that will work like the kit I created for the 2011 GT-R with factory like install with moving guidelines etc etc.
