DIY: Rearview Camera & DVD

rarwz

Would love to see some pictures, was going to pull the trigger next paycheck on this.
Do you have to plug the NAVTOOL in behind the screen, or could you plug it in at the bose nav unit in the trunk? I would assume it would be be an easier install if the NAVTOOL was in the trunk.

it plugs directly behind the monitor with a Y-adapter, It was very easy to install. If I can do it, anyone can. You don't see the pics in this DIY?

Nope, I dont see them. Looking through the HTML I see that there are IMG tags for the pictures, but even going to them individually they dont work (aka if I go to http://www.the370z.com/members/gamma...11659-i005.jpg nothing loads)

I did find the gallery though Nissan 370Z Forum - Zyonara's Album: Rearview cam and DVD player but the pictures definitely dont load up inline for me... anyone else?

The first time i read this thread they showed up, however they don't anymore.

Zyonara

Sorry guys, AK370Z had to help me fix the picture issue. It should be back up now, let me know if its not.

Just bought mine last night...
Wanted to give everyone a heads up on these units.
DO NOT BUY THEM FROM THE WEBSITE tvandnav.com
You can buy them on ebay from the manufacturer. The account is eBay My World - parts_for_integrat
I saw some posts on an Acura board, and people were saying these are the same red units (although the ebay pix are grey). My paypal slip has the right email/website as from tvandnav.com. Also as you can see its $225 (not $350), and you can make an offer. I got mine for less than $225!

As an update, just got my unit in the mail today. As stated, its the red one directly from the manufacturer. I would definitely recommend this route as you save atleast $125 (or more )
I will add an additional how-to on my experience at the end of this thread when I get time to do the install.

Awesome on the rear bumper install Zyonara. I was just wondering today if anyone had put a camera in that spot. It just looks logical.

Do you have any problems in bright sunlight with it in that position?

Zyonara

Thanks TreeSemdyZee! I had to put something in that little square cutout cuz it just looked out of place with the car lines. No problems with bright sunlight however the camera was a very cheap cam with no IR so the only problem is at night, I was thinking of adding brighter reverse lights.
