Kenwood DNX6140 installed in my 370Z with Sirius and back up Cam (AK370Z)

AK370Z · 06-23-2009, 12:04 AM

Well, big thanks to bpd138 for looking into my small problem (R cam not automatically switching when reverse in engaged). He suggested that I should look at some A/V setting before taking things apart. One of the setting was "R-Cam interruption". From the factory, "R-Cam interruption" is turned off. I simple switch it to on and voila, it works like a charm. Now, if I put the gear in reverse, the rear cam activates. I can still press and hold navi button to turn on rear cam manually.

My installer Matt did a really good job. Everything is working 100% now!

Hello all I am Matt the one he went to. I actually live in Bridgeton Nj not Bridgewood. If anyone needs any installs done just let me know. working on AK's Z was great it is a very nice car and demands respect for being as new as it is. I am a very friendly person just ask me anything anytime. Nice pic's AK

Great looking job, Matt!

Car looks awesome, AK!

NIZMOZ · 06-23-2009, 08:49 AM

Nice install man. Question on the camera. Does it show the correct reverse view or is it backwards? The quality looks pretty good on that camera and for the price, I am considering getting one to add to my Kenwood as I haven't done that yet. I need to get that and XM (not sure if I want that or Sirius as they are both the same company now). I have my NAVI Antenna under the radio console so nothing is showing. Right where your gauges are top middle of dash I had a gap that I slid the antennas into. Not a single problem with signal.

bigaudiofanat · 06-23-2009, 09:12 AM

As far as I know it shows the correct way of viewing things.

I will check it for you. Take a look at the videos. I think it's correct reverse.

I know you were saying something about this text feature. Do you know how this works?(sorry too lazy to check the manual).

Welcome Matt

. Make yourself comfortable here.

bigaudiofanat · 06-23-2009, 09:24 AM

HAHA will do man

I don't know myself as I haven't hooked up my BT module yet.

I am waiting to get the accessories all together before tearing apart my dash again. But last I heard you can type and respond on the screen of the NAVI to text messages.

Big.Bob · 06-23-2009, 05:28 PM

This is NICE. Very professional, definitely a grade A alternative to the touring's nav.

bigaudiofanat · 06-23-2009, 06:04 PM

I just wanted to share a few more pictures with you. Hope you do not mind AK370Z.

AK370Z · 06-23-2009, 11:48 PM

Pictures look good Matt. Soldering is top notch!

Thanks to you, Russell (I hope I got it right

), I looked into this topic. As you can see in the videos, the reverse cam image was flipped. So, I open up the manual and find this great feature:

You can actually mirror the R-Cam image! I simply switched to "mirror on"(it's off from factory) and now I see all the license plates correctly on my screen. The more I learn about the unit, the more I get amazed.

So folks, keep asking question(s) because the more questions you ask, the more I learn!

NIZMOZ · 06-24-2009, 07:52 AM

Well I have no clue that was in there! Dang! Sweet. Guess I will pick up that camera now and figure out how to put it on my Z.

Here is my solder job btw.

bigaudiofanat · 06-26-2009, 10:22 AM

Good job just make sure to get all those pesky little wires soldered I see a piece of copper sticking out in that one. LOL nice job.
