rear view camera help

You will need an antenna adapter because Nissan uses some funky cable. The Z has the antenna built into the rear glass and requires an amplifier which requires a 12V

Well Cbtech you could always direct wire it if it doesn't work out. You might have to put them pretty close together (receiver and transmitter) in order to get them to work.
I've tried them before and while they do work, sometimes when you drive real slow through neighborhoods you'll see baby monitor images come up on your little receiver screen.....
My personal take is the image isn't as good as a direct wire but you could see a kid or a bike behind you if the wireless connection is good.

all good points and ur right I could just hard wire it. i might make it accessible behind the glove box so if i need to hard wire it i could. I plan on only using it for reverse and not to turn on any other time.

I took the tail light off and tapped at the plug cluster since i could actually verify the wire color being a "cream orange" color. I then just used a metal self tapping screw into the body under the tail light.

did you go with the wireless or wired set up?
