:iagree: I can't recall where I have seen the info (about couple weeks ago) but yes I did saw factory rear cam option for the upcoming 370Z. I believe it was for roadster but I'm sure it's transferable to coupe as well. When I come home from hospital tonight, I'll try to find that link/page. Thanks Lou for an early heads up :tup:

found it!

My Canadian dealer looked up all the info he could find on Backup Cameras for the 370Z and there was no official option for us in Canada. However, I asked him to look into a mod to graft the Altima camera into the system. Hopefully it is the same electronics as the Japanese 370Z and it will be an easy mod. I will post more info when the dealer gets back to me with what he can find out.

I saw a poster at my local dealer that advertises the rear backup kit via the rear view, and it shows the screen on the driver side of the mirror, so I would guess it's available now?

I would think the navi version would be much cheaper since it wouldn't need to include the new mirror with LCD. I don't really need a backup camera on the Z, but I have it on my Murano and it's pretty cool so I wouldn't mind adding another "toy" to the Z. I wouldn't want to lose my rear view with homelink, etc tho.

Unrelated, but has anyone found a way to bypass the parking brake protection on the auxiliary input of the navi system?

You would need some sort of a toggle switch that passes 12VDC+ (preferrably true ignition) through a diode that is then tapped into the Reverse+ input on the video monitor you're using. VERY easy for any moderately skilled mobile installer.

I checked with my dealer again. They still cannot find any information about it as a factory available option. And they don't have the updated parts list yet so they cannot check to see if it will be available thru parts.

I've got my eye open for it though.

just FYI for a lot of people, as I have been rigorously searching for a rear view camera.

1) the camera is VERY WELL sought after - when you see one, its gone the next day.
2) the camera is universal (except for the mount). the 370z, Murano, Maxima, Altima(?), GTR, G37 , FXxx, etc, all have the same cameras and CCU units and plugs.

so if you find one from any of those (must be new years 08+ for the most part, some are 09+), then it will plug and play on your 370z and NAV unit, just buy the rear-mount from the dealership.

I have found a entire nissan murano NAV unit for sale w/ the camera on ebay for 150 bucks (Re-sell the NAV unit but keep the camera, still a lot, LOT, cheaper than buying new). I didnt buy it because they didnt include the CCU unit required for the "lines" to show. :(

great!

thats awesome but does it even come with the CCU unit? or steering angle sensor? when you get it could you possibly scan some things for me? I've been trying for the longest time to get my rear-view camera working but cant get it to work :(.

Will Do.....................:tup:

I came across this today... Nissan Japan - Rear Backup Camera Kit (Japanese Spec)

Has anyone done an install with this yet? How does it work? Any info or pics would be appreciated. I tried searching for other threads on this, but couldn't find anything.

I think you have to have OEM navigation for that to work.

That's what I was hoping. I have the OEM nav, and I'd love for this to mate with it, out of the box. I haven't been able to find any details or pictures though.

Well, I think "antbear" is the first member to buy this. He bought it on 12.22.09. Do you want to wait till he install it and make a thread?

Those with OEM nav, this is their ONLY option. Many guys who have OEM nav, do not care so much about back up cam. Those without OEM Nav, went with aftermarket headunit with camera. Due to smaller number of members with OEM nav (and their less desire to put back up cam), you don't see any thread on this item.
