Factory Back up camera

rhood · 01-14-2010, 10:44 PM

Lol Not sure why you would assume I have a aftermarket Navigation system but I don't, Its factory. I have the same camera as antbear does. I took it to Car Toys by the Woodland Hills Mall in Tulsa. It took about an hour and works just like my G37 coupe does. Put it in reverse and its on. Like I said before I didnt want it installed looking at the ground so the way its installed I can see a complete area view (Big Range). I also installed an eclipse dvd player behind my passsager seat in the glove box. It looks factory installed. The picture is great and sound even better. I will take pics this weekend of both the dvd and the backup screen and post for you. Antbear if you want Car Toys number let me know and I will gladly get it for you.

LOL I thought so Modshack, No its the real deal. I will have to look but I bought the camera from a gentleman on ebay that does them on GTR's. But I was thinking it would have to be the same install as that car. I asked him and he didnt know but the next day he sent me the wiring set up and he said his installer said it was the same , So I bought is and it was great. I will post this weekend and let you see it from the screen itself

I sure would appreciate their phone number and a contact person since I have hit a dead end with my installers.

Hey the number to Car Toys is (918)254-5093. I will post pictures tomorrow for you as well.

This is good stuff guys! Keep the thread rolling as I and many others will be interested in doing this. I'm picking up a 2010 Nav 370z next month and I hope it can still work for a 2010 version.

antbear · 01-17-2010, 12:22 AM

Thanks for the number. Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

rhood · 01-18-2010, 08:45 PM

Pretty slick!

Thanks Jones!!

Looks really good.

antbear · 01-19-2010, 09:52 AM

Thanks for the pictures. That view looks good. If the camera had been mounted up by the tag using the OEM bracket would the view show a smaller area?

rhood · 01-19-2010, 01:59 PM

Yes becasue the car is lower than the average so the installer showed me both views and I like the view better from where it is mounted now. Like I said the pictures I took there is kind of hard to see but it really is a good view and great color and clairity.

Thanks for the update. Do you think the view would be helpful when backing out of an angle park? Would you be able to see the traffic?

rhood · 01-19-2010, 07:36 PM

Absolutely it would, I can see for all angles with the camera installed in this position.
