Beautiful shot! I understand the complaints but could live with them.

I don't understand everyone's issue with the back up camera? Mine has blacked out once on me, but the quality seems much better than most I have seen (and that's hundreds of them).

Wireless charging on most cars is worthless, although I would like to have wireless CarPLay.

I agree with the front camera. My others have it and the birdseye view as well.

I have had that fron sensor act up if a big bug splatters on it or during heavy rains. Hot days are odd...

And what's the beef with the gas cap? My others are capless, but the Z has the little hanger thing on it.

And most importantly, good color choice!

With a manual the cruise is pretty much useless anyways so I will take looks over function.

I did some highway cruising a few weeks ago and the cruise control was really good.
I found switching over the dash to "Enhanced" mode was best to use also.

Installed AA Wireless Android Auto today, works like a charm, I get in and the display changes to Android auto in a few seconds with no wires.

Thats what it looks like, I can also convert to full screen.

Sorry but I have to disagree with the camera, the one I test drove was far worse than my BMW my husband Honda CRV and even…my mums i20.
It may be that the Aus model is worse because we only have the small screen and the tech that goes with that. But I was disappointed
It would not have been a sticking point for me, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think it should have been better for the money the car costs

Agreed, I have to find out if its the head unit or the camera itself, I may have to replace both but would prefer to replace the culprit only.

My Palisade camera is 10 times better.

I have been using an aftermarket wireless charger from ShawnTexan Products that works well. You do have to plug into the cigarette lighter outlet on the passenger side. The cord is fairly easy to hide.

And what are the "hundreds" of models you have seen? I bet most you speak off cost way less than the Z.

Hundreds was probably a modest number. I run a dealership. I appraise cars daily. So yeah. More like thousands.

im just comparing it to our 2022 pathfinder which is crisp and HD compared to the low res on the Z. If I didnt see it on that I probably wouldnt have even noticed. it just shows nissan has the ability to put a decent camera in but they chose to carry over the 370 for budget. either way I really dont care about the back up camera. I mean my GTR NISMO camera is about the same quality as both cars use the older nissan stuff.

That's odd. Wonder if mine is maybe different camera? Mine is way better than my 22 Rogue or the wife's 21 CR-V. I know NIssan, and other manufacturers, are still having supply chain issues and parts shortages. We get new cars all the time with window sticker credits. Nissan has done a pretty good job of cannibalizing older/ lesser trim parts. Platinum pathfinders for example - the large digital cluster is being replaced with the lower trim model clusters. Frontiers having running board and bedliner deletes. Kicks having spare tire deletes. Maybe they ran out of certain cameras and swithced?

Well they better do a warranty for me then because its pathetic, I actually went to the back to see if they left a clear sticker over the camera. Then I went into settings and nothing makes a difference.

Can you take a photo of it?
