Hodgson Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I've just purchased myself a 2011 370z roadster with 12k on the clock. Had it 2 days now and love it. My only grumble is that's it's not the easiest to reverse park as sight is a little restricted when reversing. Is there an optional extra for a reverse camera. I know with the GTR, the reverse camera is an optional extra. The loom is already there and the camera just plugs in and your all done. Any help would be great.

ChrisS Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 If it's got connect premium. (11 plate so probably has) You'll need a loom from a guy called Brian (I think) in the states and a camera. Quite a few have done it recently, have a search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Welcome aboard John. Lovely sounding car ~ get some pictures up if you can. Lot's of people have reversing cameras on their Zeds so it's totally doable. Not done it myself, I've a 350 anyway but have a search and it should turn up something.

Briggsybriggs1 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I've fit one my self in my 350 roadster it's easy if you have a bit off DIY skills. But I have seen them done on 370s as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipar69 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 You'll be needing this then. Had it myself on previous 370. Works brilliantly and very good service from the supplier. http://www.carkitcompany.com/nissan-370z/nissan-370z-backup-camera-kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJRFulton Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) I've got a reverse camera in mine as original equipment. I use it all the time, as well, the Z is clumsy at parking and tight manoeuvring... plus I want to keep those alloys away from the kerb. You'll get a reversing camera no problem, and I understand it's an easy fix Edited February 4, 2014 by AJRFulton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I fitted a reverse cam to my 370z, it's not difficult and with the loom it's all plug and play if you have the connect premium There is a cheap way via an eBay camera or a more expensive way via a kenwood camera which has better night vision and a wider angle Iirc there are few posts in the 370 ice section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgson Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I've been on here for a while. Had a 350z roadster a year ago. These Zelda are really really good cars. I'll get some pics of the car up on e I get a nice sunny day. So how do I find out if the car has premium connect.

ioneabee Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 touch screen and post code search are on the connect premium - not on the older version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get a reversing camera no problem, and I understand it's an easy fix Me too. Comes as standard on the Nismo. Quite useful since all you see out back is the spoiler (or the "ironing board'" as my other half calls it) Edited February 5, 2014 by sipar69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davectr Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I fit one recently to my 2010 roadster, reasonably easy to do. I just bought an ebay camera (£15) and used the method of adding new pins to the video cable and inserting them into the multiplug on the back of the Nav screen. Job done ðŸ‘. I'm sure there are much better cameras out there, but for the price it'll do what I need it for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgson Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 you have connect premium then Perfecto. I'll do a search into what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Not a fan of them myself, but those little fish eye type mirrors that you can stick to the wing mirrors can be useful, especially on the overly massive 370 wing mirrors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
