For those wanting a reverse camera
 

Hey guys

I have been doing some digging and I think I have found where to buy the part from:

Nissan Japan - Rear Backup Camera Kit (Japanese Spec)

Would work out cheaper to import the part yourself and get someone to fit it than to get them to supply the part as well.

The quote I got was $1100 for supply and fit from GCCS.

You can buy the part for $US595 = AUD $708.. so might save you $250 or so...

I am interested in this. Do you think its the same one as the GTR which they discuss here and is also sold here

Ive spoken to the guy at GCCS and it sounded like most of the $$ was the labour as it took them over a week to get it working with their kit.

Where as the factory unit seems to be plug and play

Also I found a link to this on this forum HERE

It has the +12V input trigger which must connect to the reverse lights so it can change the input on screen.

So this would be the option if going aftermarket and sourcing your own camera

This is what I really want more than the camera....

YouTube - Nissan 370Z iPod Interface

That is the same as out system... really dont understand why no one can give us this capability!

If we can find out the Nissan OEM part numbers, then we can just place an order at Nissan. Buying the parts from an American supplier will be more expensive than going direct i reckon.

The NAV units are not exactly the same...The US ones have a HDD built in and ours have a CD/DVD based system. I posted a thread in the Audio section for a rear view of the Nav unit and/or pinouts so we can be sure an iPod interface would fit. No reply though…

If we know the connector used for the iPod cable it should be pretty easy to see if it fits. I may have to pull my unit out and have a look…

Hey guys,

New 370 owner in Bris, Qld! :)

And yes, reverse camera is first thing im looking for. already nearly hit something the other day!!!!! :'( so close hahaha

$1100 seems like a complete rip off though!!!?!
Whats wrong with the $50 ones on ebay?!
Fill me innnn :P

BUMP - Anyone got anymore news on these? Anyone interested in a group buy when we decide on which one suits?

I get my Z in Oct and want to install a camera asap

Heres the one that Aus370z posted HERE
And heres the other one HERE

Ive emailed both suppliers asking compatability and Shipping costs.

I've had a reverse camera in my Merc now for a while and I must say I would hardly ever look at it I think the park sensors are much more importan. So what I'm saying is think about it if you are going to go with the camera cause it's pretty expensive for something you might not use. just my $.02

I guess Ive just been going by the bad feedback on the visability in the 370Z. I'm yet to take delivery so I don't know.
What do you think on this Joe? How are you finding reversing out

How much are the sensors? I wonder if its too late to ring the dealer and get them added

I agree with Joe. I had reverse camera installed on my 350z Roadster and never used it. My advise is to consider rev sensors AFTER you get familiar with your car first. The rev sensors in my car have a little lcd read out that show distance and a diagram of the car in relation to the sensors triggered.

I'm putting on the genuine Nissan sensors (next Tuesday cause apparently they were out of stock). Will let you know what there like when I get them on the car but so far I havent had any problems reversing the zed it's not a big car so you dont have to squeeze it out of car park like a big car but I think the sensors will be more than good enough. Although I wish they made a door proximity sensor some A$#hole has already opened up their door on my car I wish they had something that could stop that.

They do, they are called bullets :P Well the first day I had my 350 someone slammed their door into it and it had a massive dent on it.... after that I kept parking next to poles with that side facing other cars..

Just contacted my dealer today and my park sensors are in and ready for me to have installed.

Are the sensors offered to you guys in Aus? US doesnt get sensors. In europe they get the sensors but not the camera. 105 euro for front and i think 160 euro for the rear. Sensors can be added later too.

There listed as an option in the Australian specs and they can be fitted after delivery. Getting mine installed when I go in for my first service. Don't know if they include front sensors though.
