night backing up is what i'm concerned about. with tinted windows, I really can't see much. this is a must for the future, but i'll probably want a more capable camera.

I've been looking for a compromise for some time and have seen some on Alibaba and ebay that are more like $50-60 and on paper should be good, but always a bit of a gamble. I now have a shelf full of cameras I've tried, but not found the alternative I'm looking. So for now it is still the Kenwood CMOS-200 for me.

Pics with wire connection?

The camera has a simple two wire connection. The trailer hitch light is more difficult

Your two choices are install a second monitor or devices monitor with multi video inputs in your cubby, or use the different video sources of a new head unit to add other devices.

Yes, the choices are as I listed. I was just pointing out to those that didn't know that you can use the factory screen with just a wiring harness on the 2010/11 cars with Nav. On the 2009 cars you can/need to use an Composite to RGB converter etc.

Many people don't realize that you can get a factory type reverse camera setup with just a plug and play harness (and camera of your choice), because the Nav system in the 370z is shared with other Nissan and Infiniti cars that have the rears cameras as standard. Nissan just don't include the necessary wiring and the camera function is disabled in the hidden menus of the Nav system. I first made these harnesses available for the GT-R and was then approached by a 370z owner on this forum and of course it worked on the 370z too.

PS: See you are in NJ also

Yup, I bought one of bdl99's back up cam "kits" (bdl99's harness and Kenwood CMOS200 cam) and it's been installed in my 370Z for a year now. Quite a simple back up cam solution with seemless OEM operation with the stock nav unit.
