fakeindian Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 okay I've been looking at rear view camera's for the z but don't want to drill any holes to install it Does anyone know if this would work? http://www.hids4u.co.uk/integrated-rear ... issan.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ric Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 That looks like quite a good idea, never thought of running a camera like that! Can you not use the rear tow eye cap?? Whilst you have a topic already open, I wondered if someone could help me too. I have some old cameras that I ordered years ago from ebay that have never been used. The problem is that there doesnt appear to be a "power" cable for them, theres just these 2 wires coming from the camera : Obviously the yellow is just a normal video lead, but does anyone know what sort of plug i need for the other end? I guess its for the power?? Cheers in advance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just cut off the connector and then your left with a conductor and a screen i.e +12v and earth respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that will work if your HU or screen has a video input. It's just very expensive compared to a 'bullet' camera, which can be picked up for £15 to £20. As said, if you worried about drilling holes, you can use the toe eye cover as that can be replaced easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinggreen Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Seems quite expensive. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Car-Reverse-Rear- ... 1e5e5b9191 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-LIVINA-Car ... 2eb23d67ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its for the power?? Cheers in advance, the red plug is basically for the power. u will need to check the size of the connector. (if u have an old modem or something that uses a low voltage power supply ie old wall telephone/charger/laptop power supply. then u could use that. chop the end off so u have the black and black/white. make sure u know the polarity of the cable. outer is usually ground/0v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ric Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Cheers guy, will try and find a connector that fits and power it with 12v. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threefiftyz Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 http://www.hids4u.co.uk/integrated-rear-view-camera-for-nissan.html this one looks better than the one in the tow imo, oem look has anyone got a pic of it fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetgax Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 having a brief talk with a friend who is a professional installer he said you can replace the number plate light with a fish eye lense and light. Gives a view downwards past the rear bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
