Recommendation for adding a backup camera and screen
So I've had two 370Zs and am looking to get a used one this time around (granddaughter will use it to learn to drive too).
None of the cars I'm looking at are touring versions so I'm thinking about adding a backup camera to whatever I end up getting. The car will either be a 2014, 15, or 16, coupe most likely with base sound system. I'd like the display unit to be as large as possible and look as close to a factory install as possible. Although price is a concern, I'd rather get a better unit that works well than save a $100 or so. Any suggestions? What do most people end up going with? Thanks.

Rear view cameras are a factory option. Mine is a 2015 sport (no nav) and has one. The screen is behind the glass in the rear view mirror.
Most modern aftermarket stereos support rear view cameras now. Personally that's the route I'd go. |

You have several options. OEM navigation will have it (although the OEM nav sucks donkey balls). Or you can get an OEM or aftermarket rear view mirror with LCD and hook up a rearview camera to it. Or just about any aftermarket headunit with a screen will have the ability to hook up a rear camera to it.
Personally, I don't have any need for rear view camera so I can't recommend one over the other except probably any option would be better than the OEM nav (certainly in terms of value).
