I have a base trim 370Z without dual zone climate control, it only has single zone climate control. So will the screen detect I have only one zone or will it still show two zones?
Also does the head unit switch on and off automatically when I start and stop the engine of the car?
How does the reverse camera work? When I shift into reverse does the reverse camera come on automatically? Can I switch to the reverse camera manually at any time or must I go into reverse? Any tips on wiring it?
How can I get the head unit to use my phone's data connection automatically so it has internet access? I know I can use my phone as a hotspot but I need it to connect automatically so I don't have to spend the time connecting my phone every time I drive. Maybe bluetooth tethering will connect my phone's data to the head unit automatically every time once paired? Is that supported? I don't want to use a sim card because I will get charged for a second data plan when I could use my phone instead.
How does this work with stock base speakers? Any issues like static? Does it improve sound quality?
Can anyone share a copy of the manual?

The climate control will show temp and fan speed at the bottom at all times. Although the fan speed isn’t really accurate in “auto” mode. I have the sport touring package and don’t have a dual climate either. Did the 370z ever come with that? In any case, you can swipe up from the bottom and get more controls, but the dual climate portion just changes both sides.
The radio boots up pretty fast, but does cut off when you cut the car off. Cuts on when the ignition is on and maybe ACC? Just like any other radio.
My Z has the backup camera in the rear view mirror. So I didn’t wire anything for backup to the radio.
I honestly haven’t played with it enough, but I think you’ll need to set the radio to connect to your phones hotspot. Probably keep the phones hotspot on to connect automatically. Although I’m not sure if wireless CarPlay will work then?
The manual is too big to attach here. Not sure how to share from my phone.
