Is the backup camera worth it?

Where there is a will, there is a way. I do think you can do that. Bypassing that pesky "you have to have the emergency brake on and the car in park" switch is a common routine at audio installation places. So I am told. Than ask Bigaudiofanatic. I think it might depend on the type of radio too. I have a Kenwood DNX-9960 in my unit and it was done on that. My brother has a Pioneer AVIC-110 and he also had it done.

Default I think so....

I did it myself.....although I don't have a Nismo. Do Nismo's have the little pop out square in the middle of the bumper?

I think the OEM one is a rip. $785? I bought a cool new head unit for about $285. I got a high quality camera for about $100. I bought some lead wire for about 5 bucks. I installed it all myself for free.

So for me it was a tiny screen in your mirror, a crappy performing/looking stock radio, and zero labor for $785. Or a good performing great looking radio & DVD player with a large screen and several hours of labor for $390. Saved me $395 for other stuff.

Your call.
