Considering this backup cam... thoughts appreciated

Audiovox RVMPKG4 Rear View Mirror Package 4

anyone have this thing installed?
any better alternatives? (i'm not so much concerned with the cost at this point if the quality is good)

Audiovox is generally low quality...

You can go with the Nissan OEM one found here (may be better priced elsewhere)
Genuine Nissan 370Z 2011-2012 Rear View Mirror w/ Back Up Camera and Monitor OEM | eBay

They also make a nice cheap and well integrated camera seen here..
Car Reverse Camera Nissan Versa Pulsar Cube 350Z 370Z GT-R / Infiniti G35 G37 | eBay

The only issue I see is that for the cost of the OEM mirror, you can get a nice double din radio with the backup feature built in (the route I went).

I just dropped my Z off at the dealer to have a OEM rear view mirror back-up cam installed. From prvious experience with rear view mirror cams, the work great. But camera quality goes a long ways too.
