RZ34 Backup camera replacement

[Thefunk]

I'm sure it can be done relatively easy but I can't find info about the OEM camera voltage and video signal. Has anyone upgraded theirs?

Keen to know too

The low resolution of the camera on the infotainment screen doesn't bother me as much as the jittery framerate. Sometimes when I put it in reverse and the music is playing the music will cut in and out. The Infotainment system is smooth otherwise. Just when the reverse camera is initialized is when things get laggy.

Odd thing is Nissan lists this part as "Front" but in the notes it says Backup Camera. I'm going to attempt to get specs for the part directly from Nissan. Probably won't work but wish me luck! lol

Any updates on this from nissan? Or has anyone done a tear down on there car yet? I'd love to swap in a Foxeer or Runcam FPV starlight camera :-D

I just wonder if simply replacing the camera will help or if there is an issue deep within the head unit's core/code. It could be something like how Netflix attempts to stream 4k HDR and 5.1 surround: Pitifully.

I don't think it's the camera, I think it's the video processing hardware for the multifunction display. I don't think there's enough processing power to adequately handle the video.

Then again the Z is a mostly forward car

Just watched this. Shame it’s not full screen and more like a fish eye lens.

Cool to see them take the car apart at the rear and see how easy the switch over is.

I think its because the camera they installed is more inset in the rear panel vs the OE camera. What you are seeing the the round hole of the rear panel.

Indeed. Just need to find out the camera's video and power specs to find a better replacement.
