[DIY] Install Rearview Camera for Stock Nav (2010)

All credits go to BDL for discovering this. As you may know, he sells a kit at his website for this purpose. To be honest, I was not comfortable paying $130 for just few wires and pins, so I seek a DIY alternative.

The hardest part is locating these pins. Literarily, it took me 2 weeks to find them. I still have a few left. Pay shipping and I'll send you.

NH-025 (from Japan) - This guy sells the connector and the pins together incase you want to replicate the kit. (Minimum quantity is required)



Find a female RCA wire, cut the wire and crimp the pins on.



Here is the back view of the connector of the DISPLAY UNIT. Just push the pins in accordingly with the numbers.

Pin 8 - camera signal
Pin 7 - shield



ATTENTION:
Just to be an a**, Nissan seals up ONLY pin 8 7 of the plug, but not other empty pins. I had to use a small watch screwdriver to poke a hole.



After that, the pins went in like butter.



Put everything back in order. Connect the camera and Viola. Don't forgot to turn on the Camera feature via hidden menu.



Incase anybody wonders, I bought the ebay camera that attached to the license plate light. Low-light performance was not that bad and definitely useable. The ultimate downside is the built-in grid line. I might have to buy a different one without the grid line, keep that in mind if you are going to buy one.
