New owner of the 2013 Nismo...

fredstah · 01-28-2013, 07:43 PM

....in a few weeks that is.

My name is Fred and I live in Orange County, California. I'm 35 years of age with a passion for a little speed. This is my first sports car and I hope I won't get bored driving it since I also have 2 sportbikes that I take to the track from time to time. My track bike is the 2006 gsxr-1000 and the other is the 2012 RSV4-Factory.

Thank you for having me here on this forum

Questions:

What is the best Navi for this car? At the moment it seems Pioneer and Kewood is on top my list. What do you think?

What is the best brand and model for back up camera?

Thank you all!

Been home for 2 weeeks now

My other passion

I got the camera in my 2013 Nismo.... Its ok not great, its like a 2inch by 2 inch screen in the rear view mirror. It came on the car but i wouldnt pay the extra 700 for it if i had the choice.

Congrats enjoy it! Be sure to follow the engine break in procedure...

Bought my car there too. I went with a Pioneer AVIC-X940BT. Some say Kenwood, others say Pioneer, but the AVIC is what I prefered.

Nice another fellow bike racer! Welcome and congrats!

Rui Z · 01-29-2013, 07:51 PM

pearl white is the best color and '13 nismo is the best model. You did good! I always regretted getting the 40th over a pearl white nismo.

Honestly paying a ton of money for the nav has never really made sense to me. I actually like having the cubby space and I am very satisfied with the $130 i spent total (mount and GPS unit) on the little garmin unit I have had. I actually prefer its location much more to the dash anyway since its near where you see your mpg and other stuff and you don't have to move your eyes away from the wheel as much. I don't have a great pic that shows more of the gps/wheel but I think you can get an idea from this pic:

Very happy with my setup. I don't care that much about the power cable and it could be hidden much better if I wanted to.
