Reverse Camera Anyone ?

[Chris Rogers]

because I put it there!

cams aren't modded - the top comment was in jest of nissan having a whinge about the warranty of these things.

as for tricks of trade. call me mean, but I spent 12hrs under this car and for now the info is not going to be public knowlegede.

Chris,

People on the UK GTR site (www.gtr.co.uk) have also been looking at instaling satnav on the Euro spec cars. Did you use a separate sat nav that just output to the screen in the car or did you tap into the GPS that is installed in all the cars (even non sat nav ones)?

cheers

I'm not trying to be a hard arse here. I simply spent a LOT of time under this car and for now the information stays with me.

I will say this - if you tap the exisxting system you will screw up the lap timer and clock functions as those are GPS derived.

any invisible cameras out there??

Chris

Was hooking up the ipod any easier

not looking for how to do it

Just wondering if its an option ?

Is there a line in?

Cheers for any info

[Chris Rogers]

no line in option in the ADM car. Ipod was FM based. (alpine AX10.) I'm working on a ipod solution for them but don't hold your breath.

I'm also chasing schematics for the unit thats in there (I have the model info here.) so I can work out the line/video in stuff.

Thanks for the info

I still cant fathom why they removed the line in option

[Chris Rogers]

cost and the fact that no other local nissan (to my knowledge) has onbaord video.

For anyone slightly stupid like me I went and got some more info from Adam at Stylyn regarding what's exactly involved in doing everything and what you are actually getting.

As it stands right now the Sat / Nav and Front camera will be operated by switches that will be put into the car under the "R Mode" switches (so above where you put a cd in). You won't be able to see them but they will be an addition to the car. Also - the Sat Nav is technically a stand alone unit (like a Garman) so the screen will only be for viewing. You will need a seperate remote to enter data etc - can't use the touch screen etc like in the US / JDM cars.

The reversing camera will come on as soon as the car is put into reverse so there are no extra switches.

The iPod as mentioned is currently going to be a hard-wired FM transmitter. Again the unit will have to be mounted somewhere you can see it (and it is also controlled by another remote). The iPod cable can be put into the glovebox but the fact is it is still an FM transmitter.

For prices you are looking at around $250 for the iPod stuff and around $4K for the Nav and Cameras.

[Chris Rogers]

the Ipod price is wrong it was $299 for the unit.

may as well mention the rest of what adam told you as well

that part I'm heavily involved in. if you decide to do the car then you will meet me as I'll probably be the other person along side adam working on it.

[Chris Rogers]

ok we have made a revision to this.

the activation switches are now a touch switch. no physical switch to push, no holes in panels - touch one area and the OEM system turns off and the NAVI takes over. touch another area and the FWD camera comes into play.
