No the full kit does not require soldering

No soldering
No cutting of any wires
No drilling
All you need is a Phillips screwdriver and a plastic trim tool helps.

If you go for the kit without a camera then I provide a spare power connector that could be used to power your camera. You could solder or use wiretaps or power the camera from elsewhere.

where does one get a plastic trim tool?

Griot's Garage sells a kit with various sizes. Your local automotive supply stores might carry them too. I'm sure you can find these online as well, such as at northerntool.com Not expensive at all.

Amazon. They are basically made of plastic that is softer than the trim. The ones I have are
BDLHOME Gadget Store - Car

Add me to the 2010 list. Kit + camera.

I assume the factory location for the camera on a roadster is above the license plate. Has anyone done this yet?

Thanks,

Marc

This is a good question. Jeff, is the roadster install going to be any different?

The roadster isn't going to be different but the pictures in the instructions are not of the roadster. There is a link earlier in this thread from axeman71 of a DIY install and the only part that could be a little different is routing the wire from cabin to trunk.

Is there a roadster owner prepared to be first and take a few additional pictures or a roadster owner in NJ who I could install with and take a few pictures as we go?

i can tell you all that this will really help your every day driving. even if you are good at using the mirrors to judge distance and park, i am able to confidently back up while parallel parking to get very close to the car behind me. in the past i've bailed on many spots becase i was scared i'd back into the car. yesterday, while parallel parking, i backed up without looking at the camera, thinking 'hmm that looks pretty close' then i look down at the camera display, i had like 4 feet more room. :tup: :)

Is this GB closed? Would you post to the UK? :D

I have a 2010 and would be after the harness and cam. Confirmed the settings work on my UK car just a minute ago, can get into diag screen and it turns blue in reverse when set with cam "on".

Here is the list of people who expressed interest in the 2009 nav tool group buy. I pmed all of you the same message asking for your email address. So far, only the people have been crossed out have responded. If your name is not crossed out, please message me as soon as possible. This group buy is being held up b/c it can't move forward until i have 15 responses. (asmar i just sent you the message tonight so this doesn't really apply to you in terms of taking while to respond)

Anymore movement on the 2009 group buy?

i got 2 more responses over the past few days, i will update the list when i get home from work. i apologize to all you guys who were ready to go, but unfortunately i can't get anything moving until 15 people respond :shakes head: i could try and talk to them once we get 10, but 8 out of 16+ initial respondents is dissappointing.

Anyone know an installer around Massachusetts who will put this in for me?

Also what is the side view camera that is mentioned in the Settings Diagnostics screen?

I dont know of any installers around there, but there is a DIY included with the kit, its not very difficult, i did it with bdl99 on my car.

as far as this kit is concerned, its only for the rear view camera.

Ok a friend of mine thinks we can install it ourselves, he did a lot of work on his 350Z and is pretty good with that stuff.

Just wanted to give you an update, I will be ordering my kit after Friday, but before the end of next week. Can't wait!! Thanks to you and Jeff for everything. :tiphat:

My kit showed up on Monday (but it shipped early)...very fast shipping nonetheless so expect your kits soon guys. First impressions is that this is a very professional looking kit. I'll be installing it on Friday after work. Can't wait!

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 08:55 AM.
