Factory Mirror w/ camera ?'s

Felix 808 · 01-21-2012, 01:03 PM

Hey Guys, anyone have feedback on the factory rear-view mirror w/ the back up cam? Also if anyone has any info on the install of this system it would be appreciated.

Thanks all

The camera came pre-installed on my car, so I don't have any comments on installation.

Not having really lived with a car with a back-up camera, it is immensely useful to me. The camera is completely hidden while normally driving and sitting in the car, but when in reverse, the screen pops up in the rearview mirror. The camera projects two "aircraft landing" lines on the screen, to align your car with spots and curbs.

It is indeed an expensive dealer option, but I definitely appreciate it every day. I back in everywhere perfectly, I can see low jutting objects such as curbstones or debree in the way, and I could imagine it would be invaluable if I ever decide to lower my car. Of course, you could get away with good practice and knowing the dimensions of the car, but we all make mistakes sometimes, right?

How much would that cost me to get it at a dealership? or is there a place that I can buy ???

Thanks again guys.

This looks interesting. The compass is a nice touch too. Do you happen to know what the rear camera looks like? Does it stand out like a sore thumb?

The camera is a part of a new license plate light insert. It is a nice set-up that snaps into the left license plate light lamp CAR REAR VIEW CAMERA NISSAN Versa Pulsar Cube 350Z 370Z GT-R/ Infiniti G35 G37 | eBay like this one.

Been wondering about that myself. Visited two different local dealers inquiring about the possibility of adding this to my 2010 Roadster, but, for whatever reason, both were less than interested in my business, or determining if they were even compatible with the 2010.

Interesting that it DOES list the 2010 in the link you posted.

I want this!!!!

Felix 808 · 01-24-2012, 05:22 PM

Called my dealer today to see what it would cost installed $1040

Changed my mind real quick. Should have ordered at time of purchase

Nice!

GaleForce · 01-27-2012, 07:33 PM

I need to do that mod. Gotta find the proper Nissan parts first.

UNKNOWN_370 · 01-27-2012, 10:05 PM

I have it. I love it. Mine was basically free. I dealt my camera and the completel sport pkg in at year end deal. Its the perfect add on for a car with such terrible blind spots. Se how much car toys or a custom shop will do it for. It will probably cost around $750-850:

martin82 · 01-27-2012, 10:22 PM

There are a few you can buy cheaper. It just depends if you want the compass etc or the homelink as well. I saw this just now thought i'd share.

not my auction, would make a good retrofit for just mirror/camera for pretty cheap, includes pigtail/pin out:
Autodim OnStar Rearview Mirror w/3.5" LCD BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY | eBay

too bad the quality of this is pretty crappy if not would be a good idea:
