Plug and Play Bypass Kit (DVD, NAV and backup Camera) Discussion

wheee! · 06-13-2011, 08:46 AM

Having reviewed the wiring harness manufactured by Brian, I must say it is a work of art! The ease of installation makes this mod difficulty a 1 out of 10. The only difficult part throughout the process is disassembling the dash! Total installation time with disassembly and reassembly should be less than an hour.

I have personally installed 3 NAV/DVD/Camera hack harnesses of my own construction which require the cutting of wires in the factory harness, soldering of diodes into place, more soldering of wires and a ton of heat shrink to accomplish the same task as Brian has done with a simple click of a harness. The harnesses I built took about 2 - 3 hours to make and then my installs typically took 1 - 2 hours, and I am electronics technician...

+1000 to Brian for creating a super elegant, easy to install DIY mod for the masses that requires no electrical or technical experience. I know the many hours he takes in assembling these harnesses is a labour of love for us 370Z.com members because I'm sure the effort he is putting into this mod would not be a financially rewarding venture! Thanks Brian!

Bottom line: If you have the camera harness from Brian, buy this complementary mod before Brian comes to his senses and finds a real life!

That's funny and you don't know how close I came at the weekend, while I was making a test rig when I could have been out driving my car

Thanks for the comments by the way, I think that puts it in to perspective.

Remote solution is now ready for initial customers

The harness in the same as the switch based solution

And then the remote module is shown below

You will see there are two grey female connectors and one male and this is for the Parking Brake bypass. Connecting the male to the outer female connector (top in the photo) will enable the remote based configuration. Connecting to the inner grey wire will configure the device for permanent parking brake bypass.
