Yep same problem I have/had. Right now it just shows complete black. I find it sometimes does work okay, but other times it randomly has those issues.

I just want to find a better camera (under $200) to replace it with. Don't want to bother with any more Chinese knockoff junk.

The pioneer one I am getting ready to install I will let you know how that goes and it is about 140.

I trust the cameras from Japan just there was a bad shipment of them.

Okay, thanks Matt. I'd love to get the Kenwood CMOS-300, it sounds badass, but the cheapest you can get it is around $250 on Ebay.

Yeah I'm interested in what others are using. Mine sort of works sometimes now....

So did anyone find a good replacement that didn't cost an arm and a leg?

nice that you can change the colors on the HU. Looks great!

The kenwood camera is great and the price is not to bad.

Ok, so i just read 19 pages on this and still had a few questions...
A base 2010 with the crappy cd player is what will be replaced.

Do i need the faceplate kit or will it just fit in the factory slot?

do i need anything else besides beer for this install?
dnx610 - $734 Kenwood DNX6140 - 2010 SUMMERTIME SALE
ant adapter
wiring harness
maybe the PAC so i can use my steering wheel controls.

Anyone find the HU cheaper?

i looked at the other Nav units out there and this one seems to be better liked by more people. Thanks for the input/help

I would recommend the dash kit. It looks a lot cleaner with it. Without it there may be a tiny gap which annoys me, but it's really up to preference. As for steering controls, I recommend the axxess aswc by metro. It responds a lot faster than the PAC. It's supposed to auto program but I had to have mine manually programmed.

I second the dash kit and the metra.

ok so the dash kit in question is this, right?: Nissan 370Z Aftermarket Radio Installation Kit

and the "better" steering control is this: Amazon.com: Metra Axxess ASWC Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface (Black): Electronics

i might throw in a back up cam while doing the install but not sure if i just want to add it later. money is starting to fly out the window. Yet again thanks for the input. This is onlymy second post, but i have been lurking around the forum gathering info.

so i found the 6160 for the same price as the 6140. but i can'tseem to find the differences. any one know?

the 6160 is pretty much the NEWER version of the 6140...

kdr, what area of florida?

Yes and yes
