bad news,

do NOT BUY THE KIT FROM JAPANPARTS.COM

the kit is aftermarket and far far far from OEM. 90% of the features are missing from the unit. its the most basic type of unit which activates the camera in reverse, (note, i said camera, not Nav) and nothing more. you will still have to manually switch to Aux Input to see the camera.

Just saw this article recently.

"The Nissan 370Z Coupe, Nissan 370Z Coupe Touring and NISMO 370Z will receive a new exterior color of Gun Metallic and the addition of a RearView Monitor to the 370Z Touring’s optional Navigation Package. The Nissan 370Z Roadster receives minor touches since its 2010 introduction. A new paint color of Gun Metallic is accompanied by an available full-size spare tire."

Does this mean you have to have a Navi to do it? Touring model only? I've been waiting to the OEM version for the NISMO. But if its not available for the NISMO, I may just get the car already and put in an aftermarket setup.

What do you think, Fusz?

I wonder Nissan will offer the red leather interior with the new Gun Metal Exterior?

Good news all-around

Woot!!!!!

yet another shade of gray!!! Tards...

Any updates on the factory camera kit??

Nissan USA were as helpful as ever:

Thank you for contacting Nissan North America, Inc. with your email inquiry.

According to both web sites, Nissan/Infiniti News Room and Nissan USA, no new updates has been made to indicate when a back-up camera feature will be available for the Nissan 370Z. However we do advise that you visit both web sites periodically for new updates.

That email was answered by some guy in India. He used page 27, answer number 6. lol.

So when will we know if the 2011 rearview camera will work on a 2010?

Nissan is hoping to release these with the 2010 Z.


2010 or 2011? I just bought a 2011 Frontier so know the 2011 models are now being released and the 2010 build year is history.

You may be better off just adding an aftermarket rearview camera. Crutchfield.com has some and I'm sure any decent automotive audio shop can setup for you if you're not keen on messing around with your car's interior.

In regards to your original question, I suppose you could try to get a hold of a service manual for any Nissan vehicle that currently has a back-up cam setup and see how the system is hooked up to the car. If the setup has connections that your Z doesn't have, then u may be out of luck.

My guess is that they will be backwards compatible, but it may not be worth the extra $$$ or hassle to use an OEM system. Prob better off buying an aftermarket system.

Anyone have any pics of a factory Nissan backup camera installed? If so, please upload.

Thanks,

Maybe this thread is a little old and no one has been back since.....

I have been trying to figure this thing out for a little bit now and just havent found the right combo yet. I have the factory cam... trying to tap it to make it work with the aftermarket HU. I found the wires.. and I have it cut under the dash so I can get to it. No factory harness on my end because I have a base w/o nav. Either way, I saw the stuff Antbear posted but I was wondering if anyone had the pinouts for the factory nav?? Fusz maybe?? I asked my dealer here and the service department gave me the deer in the headlights look... lol.. he told me they dont have wiring schematics for anything.. hmmm.. ok. Here are some pics of my cam and locations of the wires I have found so far.

I have a '12 touring, with the rear view mirror that can support the in mirror camera rear view screen.


Do you have any more information on this? what it costs etc? It didn't come activated in mine.

The mirror/cam combo can be purchased from nissan for 690 bucks. Thats kind of silly they put the mirror in and no cam. Now i dont feel as bad having cam and no screen.
