I just put the same setup in my 2009 Z also. I swear sometimes the screen "flickers" out, I thought it was my imagination but maybe not. I do like the backup mirror setup now though. Sometimes it seems as if when I go to 6th it jostles the reverse lights ever so slightly but I can't concretely see it happen to make a judgment call. Could be my imagination.
I put it in myself and all the connections are either soldered or RCA to RCA and firmly together with electrical tape holding them together. I know there are no loose connections in my install. I did not connect anything to the "trigger wire" for 2nd video and have it taped off completely. The 2nd video input is not used either, I soldered an RCA to the existing video in PCBA so that when I switch to that source the L & R audio will go with the video signal. I removed the video inputs from behind the extra tray in the console and now have an iPod pinout 3.5mm plug for use with an Apple device, cause that's all I would use for mobile video anyway. I also removed the stupid iPod connector and put the iPod down in the console ( I popped out the drink holder/seat heater panel and put the iPod in on the side) so that I can have iPod music and the 2nd tray in the console. If I'm traveling with my wife we need somewhere to put a second beverage, the door holes are useless unless it's a bottle of water.
