K370Z2 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Just fitted a rear reverse camera to the Z. Ordered it from Brian in the States who is featured quite a bit on this forum. I ordered everything from Brian just to avoid any possible problems plus it came supplied with the mounting bracket to attached it to the Z. Delivery fast from states was in the UK 3 days after ordering from Brain but then Royal Mail took 7 Days to deliver after that & charged £39 for their trouble £14 of that an admin charge to process a payment for taxes. Anyway rant over:- It took me about 6 hours from start to tools packed & driving, my only advice is to follow Brian's instruction to the letter. I did spend a lot of my time slowly dismantling all the trim to ensure i broke nothing, clipping the camera cables to the existing looms to avoid snagging or annoying rattles. Once fitted it worked correctly 1st time just minor adjustment to get the camera exactly right. Picture quality is fantastic its as good as if you were standing at the rear bumper yourself,the guidance lines work great & will save that heart sinking scrapping noise . Brains communication, instructions and kit was spot on. Want my advise - fit it in the summer - to stick within Forum rules it was ******* cold. Quote
Kev T Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Is yours the premium connect or earlier ? Quote
Ebized Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Is yours the premium connect or earlier ? Won't work on non Premium Connect 370's. Quote
ioneabee Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 . Brains communication, instructions and kit was spot on. Want my advise - fit it in the summer - to stick within Forum rules it was ******* cold. who's Brain I think I know of a Brian Quote
K370Z2 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 I have a 2010 Black Edition Auto so Its a premium connect but Brian answered all my questions prior to purchase & was open & honest about the overall cost of buying the complete kit from him or just the harness & you purchase the camera yourself. The picture quality on the Kenwood camera supplies is fantastic & Brian's communication is fantastic. Brian's the one with the Brains . 1 Quote
Harryjax Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I'm also thinking of this as my wife has vertualy the same thing on her quashqi. Can you PM me Brian's contact details. Deff One for the summer. What is in Brian's kit exactly and what's the ballpark cost? Quote
TheMacDaddy Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 This is Brian's website, explains everything and all the options: http://www.carkitcompany.com/nissan-370z/nissan-370z-backup-camera-kit Quote
K370Z2 Posted February 14, 2013 Author Posted February 14, 2013 Z Dedicated has supplied Brian's link address above. The cost of the entire kit was £222 the the Royal mail charged the £39 to process and deliver. You can just buy the loom but the cheapest i could find the camera was £135 so as Brian said its about the same so i couldn't be bothered with the hassle. Quote
AFTERSHOX Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Nice one fella ! I told you it was a pretty easy mod ! Glad you did it.. Think I've been watching too much The Walking Dead - BRAAAAAAIIIIIINZ ! lol Quote
Chris`I Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Glad you got it all done matey. One of the best mods I did to my 370z. Kit is a great bit of kit, well worth the cost. Better still Brian is a Brit so is more than happy to help us lot out on this side of the pond. My Kenwood camera is waiting to be fitted into the van when I get some time. I now have an OEM fit Kenwood HU, so will plug straight in. Image quality is great, and works very well in low light levels. Quote
K370Z2 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Posted August 19, 2013 Keep the purchases within the Forum & help the traders who help us !! Quote

It's not cheap but definitely worth the investment and avoids having to drill the bumper to fit sensors. Really good picture quality too. Edited August 20, 2013 by sipar69 Quote
Nice1A Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I'm interested in this kit. I have a UK 2010 370z and this seems to be the one to get. Brian could you DM me to discuss as I'm in the states soon and maybe able to pick one up while over there to avoid customs charges. Quote

You'll need to contact him via his web site. Chris`I might know better though. Quote
