Bravo!

Even if they do come out with it I will stil stick with an aftermarket one with an aftermarket head unit. Probably cheaper as well.

ive seen the factory location of where the back up camera goes...

my question is isnt any of you worried that itll get ripped off by some jerk that wants it more than you? i.e. in a parking lot, parking garage, city streets, etc...

my brothers boss was replacing the tailgate on a customers brand new truck that someone took the whole tailgate off of just because it had a back up camera built into it...worst part was it was parked in his driveway when they stole the tailgate

Personally, I would not be worried about it because stuff happens and I would not go without due to paranoia. Although, your point is very valid.

I acually just ordered a Red/black 2010 370z w/Nav and Sport from Fairfax nissan. This is news to me that we could get the rear view camera option, as Nissan doesn't seem to have any official information released to that effect. If they are doing it, I wonder how much extra it would cost as a factory option versus added later.

Also, does anyone have any information on current aftermarket rearview cam products for the factory nav? I remember there being one on Ebay, but it has since dissapeared.

Lastly, does anyone know if we can simply hook up a camera to the aux video input? How difficult is it to select that video input, and will it stay on when the vehicle is moving in reverse?

I really like the idea of having a camera, as rear vision in this car is horrid compared to my '90 Celica GT and '98 Mustang GT Convertible.

Problem is, the dealership I ordered the vehicle from doesn't even have a clue about this. This concerns me.

I believe that the user representing LouFuz Nissan is a reputable forum member. He's given frank advice to buyers looking for advice on how to negotiate with dealers.

Granted, he could be wrong about the back-up camera, but chances are he would not have posted a comment unless he heard something that would lead him to believe that the camera was going to be produced.

In terms of when and how much the camera will cost is anyone's guess until Nissan formally announces pricing. I imagine that it may be a few months at least.

It wouldn't surprise me if your dealer was unaware of the camera. Until Nissan formally announces the pricing, this is all just preliminary discussions.

Given that this factory camera is most likely going to be available as an after market dealer installed option, you're probably best served buying your car now and not waiting for Nissan to announce the introduction of this option.

I for one would prefer that this option come out sooner rather than later, but given that Nissan has already announced the MY 2010/2011 changes, the backup camera may not happen until next year.

Just my two cents....

Good luck.

Martin

I can't recall where I have seen the info (about couple weeks ago) but yes I did saw factory rear cam option for the upcoming 370Z. I believe it was for roadster but I'm sure it's transferable to coupe as well. When I come home from hospital tonight, I'll try to find that link/page. Thanks Lou for an early heads up

Still thinking how it's gonna get route into the mirror since there are no cable spacer for base model, then chance is, the cable will all be in visible sight?
I was thinking more like upgrading the head unit as well, but for now stick with the clear bra first.
Shout out to you LOU
