Is the backup camera worth it?

DWS44 · 01-21-2012, 09:32 AM

Backup cam was something I never thought I would use...until I bought my Tacoma that came with one!

Now that I have my 2010 roadster, I really wish it had one. I saw that one is now offered w/ rearview mirror display on the Nissan Website under Z accessories, but one local dealer I asked about getting one installed wasn't sure it could be installed on a 2010 (and seemingly wasn't inclined to check any further

).

Tried another local dealer closer to home, who looked at me like I had six heads for even asking, looked up the price (and again seemed uninclined to check compatibility

), and told me I should just go to an aftermarket stereo shop. (Of course, a couple weeks later, this same dealer also tried to CHARGE me for completing a TSB related to my vert top even though the vehicle is still under factory warranty

...doubt I'll be frequenting this particular dealer in the future!

)
