Definitely count me in for option "A2" also!!! That bypass ability is something I miss on my old Kenwood unit I had in the old car. It's nice for the passenger to able to program the gps so we don't have to pull over.

I'm in for option (a).

Make that 2a

c'mon you 2009 guys, i've only gotten about 5 replies to my PM, we can't move forward until at least 15 of you respond to the PM

In for 2b.

BTW, I already have a camera installed and run through the aux video input in my Roadster. There are 2 DIYs, one for the camera installation (in the DIY section I think) and one for how to run the wire from the bumper to the cabin in the Roadster (in the Roadster section).

In for 2010, option 2a...cant wait to see details on the final price and product. I assume this will include some preliminary pre-calibrated settings for all the guidelines? Also interested in the bypass harness.

A2 for me too!

2a me.

I want that Roadster routing please! I'll go look for it...

bdl99, JeffBlue, there seems to be a very good response for the nav and DVD in motion bypass... can you confirm if this option is available for the group buy? It would make installation much easier for most of us as one install takes care of everything. Thanks.

The camera kit will be ready before the bypass kit for a number of reasons, one being the availability of connectors. I have a small number of the 32pin connectors required for the bypass kit and there are long lead times (I have ordered more but will take at least 2-3 weeks to come from Japan). I already have all the 24pin connectors for camera kits.

Adding the bypass kit later will be very easy and they do plug in to different places so not then end of the world to do separately. I agree there is interest in the bypass kits but also some are very keen to get their hands on the camera kits.

I also want to get some input on what you guys want. On the GT-R I used a remote because I didn't really have anywhere to put the 3 or 4 switches (or didn't want to). I would really like to work with a few of you on the best solution. I see a few potential offerings
1) For those happy to cut and splice wires then I can just write-up a free DIY guide
2) A plug and play harness so no cutting of original wires is required and you use you own switches
3) A plug and play harness with switches
4) A plug and play solution using the remote

thats more bdl99's territory than mine.

As far as installing them at the same time, it would save a few minutes, but really the hard part of the camera install is running the wires throughout the car, actually pulling the dash out is just a matter of un screwing a few thing and pulling them out, that part takes only a few minutes. so basically, if you installed the camera kit already, and wanted to add the bypass kit after, it would be very easy and not time consuming.

Count me in for 2010 Option A, assuming camera pricing is reasonable.

BDL99, it would be easier to answer this if you can explain what the "switches" are needed for. My understanding is that the camera view will display automatically when the vehicle is put into reverse. What do we need switches for?

cant wait for this! thx for the pm jeffblue!
