I guess to update this thread, Nissan states the OEM add on back up camera will be out in Aug. 2010.

Really? So its basically the one they are putting on the 2011 touring/nav, have any idea of the price? I want one, and every other alternative than factory seems totally convoluted.

They won't release that info, just that it's coming soon!

Jeffblue · 07-09-2010, 04:08 PM

awesome. Make a new thread with lots of stars and exclamation points once they release it! i want one

I just bought my 370Z in March and one of my setbacks to seal the deal to purchase was the poor visibility through the back window. The dealership said Nissan did not have a backing camera for the Z's, but they found a local company that they deal with that could install an after factory one. It's a rear view mirror that has a screen pop up when you engage reverse. It also has bluetooth with a navi and handsfree for my cell. It was $900 and I was going to nix buying the car because the poor visibility bothered me and I didn't want to pay $900, but then they threw it in at no cost! Guess they really wanted to move that 09 Z!

In all actuality, I don't even use the camera much, but it does have a wide view of rear visibility and I am glad I have it for situations when I do need it.

Any good updates bout this, such as link to buy it?

syntax1269 · 07-11-2010, 02:01 PM

i have been waiting sssoo long, good to hear there might finally be an option from nissan direct. i also looked at all the aftermarket options, didn't like them. i guess untill aug! :-)

I saw the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost had corner cameras as well - I wonder if extra cameras could be mounted with switching for backing out of parking spots,

This is one mod I want to do. I just hope they don't try to fleece us for this add on, when the G37's have them as part of the nav kit.

I hope it works with the Australian 09 model. The only time I need it is when pulling out of an angle park, can't see cars coming up the road without it.

better than a camera, pay the nearest person 2 dollars to help guide you out of your tight spot.

Do this 250 times and you'll still not have paid as much as the camera will wind up costing you to install

wilsonp · 07-12-2010, 05:49 PM

The problem is paying the nearest person to ride around in the back - that will cost more than $2!

I can't see there being a standard mod to all the cars as some have Navi and others don't. Plus the wiring harnesses are different for the 09 and 10 models....

Other than that I am definitely first in line for the mod when it comes to my dealer!

I'm wondering the same thing; namely, whether the OEM backup camera can be retrofitted to the '09 cars with nav since the nav unit changed from '09 to '10. My '08 Armada has a backup camera and the exact same nav system as my '09 Z, so it certainly seems like a possibility...
