Does the kit come with good instructions? Are you able to use the stock harness in either location, or do you have to run all the wires yourself?

I have a base 2017 and installed just the mirror in it. My car did not have a wire harness for the mirror from the factory so I had to buy one and run the cables myself. I looked into buying the kit and even downloaded the installation instructions but I decided to replace the factory stereo and run my own camera.

Here is a link to the instruction booklet that comes with the kit:

Thanks a million, this is exactly what I was looking for. Which camera did you end up getting?

I went with one of the cheap cameras that replaces the license plate light in the back. Simple to install and works pretty well. I had one on my last Z and it worked pretty well.

I got it off ebay but it's similar to this one at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have installed this oem kit, excellent step by step instructions are included.

With my 16 Sport I had to run all the wires and tap into power. All items to do this are in the kit.
