Is the backup camera worth it?
 

Hello,

I am about to order a new Nismo 370z and I have two choices:

Gun Metallic or Brilliant Silver

I prefer Gun, however the silver one has a backup camera.

In your opinion, is the backup camera a feature that is needed? I heard the rear wing takes up a lot of the rear window.

Thank you,
Miller

Rearward visibility is pretty bad but backing up is still doable if you're careful. The backup camera is incredibly convenient, though. I have one and don't think I'd ever want to do without one again!

Nismo's don't come with the backup camera from oem.

I have no problems with the wing when backing up, it's trying to look out tiny side windows that drive me crazy when reversing out of a parking spot, there's a big blind spot on each side there.

2012s have an option for a backup camera with the screen in the rear view mirror

Back up Cam
 

At first I thought if you know hoe to drive you don't need it. But now that I have it I don't know how I lived without it....

thats cool, maybe I'll add it to my '10 then, I really do like my backup camera in our rogue.

you can buy the same gentex mirror and camera as stock on ebay for about $600..... I'm sure you might find it cheaper.
also online you will find them from nissan dealers online as well $599.

I added a camera to mine and I love it.
The worst without the camera is when you pull into a diagonal parking place (like at McDonald's), then have to back up. I was completely blind when backing up. Now it's no big deal.
It took my brain a little while to get used to what I was looking at, but it has helped me greatly.

back up camera is worth it. Came installed in the car already.

Mine came with the back up camrea. It's a nice feature. :tup: Don't have to strain my neck any more when backing up.

IMO i never really use it cause it doesnt show anything from the sides but does kinda come in handy for some tricky maneuvering that requires backing up and there are objects....plus my friends think its the coolest thing

Can you (parallel) park Lamborghini style in a Nismo?

Hands down, yes, it is worth it...it is my favorite mod.

I back in and out fine, areas with A LOT of ongoing traffic.

Back up cam is very helpful, factory one is really good but don't understand why they didn't put parking sensors.
