Factory Back up camera

wheee! · 07-13-2010, 11:05 AM

The 09's should be able to take the Infiniti systems too. They are the same navi heads. The 2010's will need this new system for sure.

wheee! · 07-25-2010, 08:35 PM

Hopefully it will be a two type system, one kind for the Navi heads and one kind for a replacement mirror. The replacement mirror version will be very pricey compared to a camera and harness system to plug into the Navi Head.
This way everyone could still use the system one way or the other!

was looking around the local Nissan dealer getting an oil change, and just for the heel of it i looket at a 2010 maxima with navi. it looks the same as my 2010 370z, i wounder if anyone has tried to put that in a 370z, maybe a direct connection as with mine there seems to be space for it in the back of the passanger seat under the foam.

^^ they are the exact same units, the problem isnt getting them, its paying the price for it. your looking at 1000+ dollars for the unit.

you could just get the camera and camera control unit from the maxima and make it work, the problem now, is you need to fab a wiring harness.

its lose-lose, the kit that antbear had is heading my way, i'll try to make it work, because if it does, this is the only "win" situation other than buying an aftermarket control unit to plug in the nav.

We really need a forum Dealer to dig into this at Nissan HQ!

Lou! Where you at?

Cjanik · 07-30-2010, 01:35 AM

bad news,

do NOT BUY THE KIT FROM JAPANPARTS.COM

the kit is aftermarket and far far far from OEM. 90% of the features are missing from the unit. its the most basic type of unit which activates the camera in reverse, (note, i said camera, not Nav) and nothing more. you will still have to manually switch to Aux Input to see the camera.

Just saw this article recently.

"The Nissan 370Z Coupe, Nissan 370Z Coupe Touring and NISMO 370Z will receive a new exterior color of Gun Metallic and the addition of a RearView Monitor to the 370Z Touring’s optional Navigation Package. The Nissan 370Z Roadster receives minor touches since its 2010 introduction. A new paint color of Gun Metallic is accompanied by an available full-size spare tire."

Does this mean you have to have a Navi to do it? Touring model only? I've been waiting to the OEM version for the NISMO. But if its not available for the NISMO, I may just get the car already and put in an aftermarket setup.

What do you think, Fusz?

I wonder Nissan will offer the red leather interior with the new Gun Metal Exterior?

Good news all-around

Any updates on the factory camera kit??

Nissan USA were as helpful as ever:

Thank you for contacting Nissan North America, Inc. with your email inquiry.

According to both web sites, Nissan/Infiniti News Room and Nissan USA, no new updates has been made to indicate when a back-up camera feature will be available for the Nissan 370Z. However we do advise that you visit both web sites periodically for new updates.

You may be better off just adding an aftermarket rearview camera. Crutchfield.com has some and I'm sure any decent automotive audio shop can setup for you if you're not keen on messing around with your car's interior.

In regards to your original question, I suppose you could try to get a hold of a service manual for any Nissan vehicle that currently has a back-up cam setup and see how the system is hooked up to the car. If the setup has connections that your Z doesn't have, then u may be out of luck.

My guess is that they will be backwards compatible, but it may not be worth the extra $$$ or hassle to use an OEM system. Prob better off buying an aftermarket system.
