Yes, you need something called NavTool... I THINK there is a knock off or a cheap place to buy buy it, just use the search feature

This is where I got my Navtool:

2009 Nissan 370Z Navigation Video Unlock Adapter Add DVD Nav TV Back Up Camera | eBay

Works great. I connected it using a momentary switch so I can turn it on anytime I want

Here is where I got my Cam:

CCD Camera Nissan Versa Pulsar Cube Fairlady 350Z 370Z GT R Infiniti G35 G37 | eBay

Here's the DIY for the install:

Hi mate
Thanks for this! Very very useful indeed!
Am I reading this right but you have two video inputs?
One for a DVD player etc and one for reversing camera that is automatically activated when put into reverse?

Also what quality is the camera and does it simply just replace the bulb holder?

Yes. 2 Video inputs. Camera quailty is very good and yes, it just replaces the factory bulb holder. It snaps right in.

I did something similar to the tutorial above. I purchased NavTool online and it was kind of pricey but worth it. Ran a back up camera to the nav and put a relay switch inbetween the seat heaters so I can turn it on/off at will, it also always comes on when I shift into reverse. Not very hard but did take a few hours only because of all the parts I had to remove and reinstall.

Good to hear it worked for you.

I have a switch so I can turn the cam on when I want, but don't have it connected to the reverse wire. I like that idea and didn't think you could do both? How did you wire it to operate both ways since it has one power input wire?

Does anyone know if this will fit a 2013 370Z?

I don't see why it wouldn't fit.

The ONLY way to go in my opinion.

I thought of that kit. But, it's for a 2010+. OP has an '09. Nissan did an upgrade to the A/V system in '10.

**I did notice that OP is located in the UK, so this kit may just work since it's states works on all EU models**

Mitco39 · 02-08-2013, 09:00 AM

There is an easy way to find out if it will work...

Q: Is this only for the US MY2010 year model and not 2009?

A: Yes the US 2010 model has the latest AV/Nav system from Nissan that makes this all possible
All EU SatNav cars appear to be compatible with the kit but you can check by doing the following:

With Radio off
Press and hold the “Settings” button and turn the volume control counter clockwise.
After about 40 clicks a menu will appear
Select “confirmation/adjustment”
Next move down to “Camera” and select
Then select “Camera Syst Type” and change from “No Camera” to “With Rear view Camera”
Come all the way out of the menus using the back button and the system will reboot
Now when you put the car in reverse, if a blue screen appears with “Please check your surroundings” message your car is compatible

I THINK, you can get the NavTool for cheaper, I bought it from a member who sold their car... So I got it for REALLY cheap...

My_Tampa_Z · 04-05-2013, 06:02 PM

I have the same camera as PFDAXE and that part is easy. I finally made the decision to buy the Navtool. I sent the Navtool folks an email asking me if they could recommend an installer anywhere is Florida because I did not want to pull the radio and Nav screen out. This was their confusing response which they have not elaborated on.

"Hi in 370z nav isn’t located in the front so why would you need to tear front apart?"

Anyone know what this dude might be trying to tell me?
