does anyone know if the wiring already exists on the SL & SR that you could mount a front camera like the Plat.? I would assume that Nissan used a standard wiring harness for all of the models. and just add on the options as the car goes down the line. I see there are front mount cameras online for about $25....would be great if I could figure out what to connect it too? we already have the camera options in the raido so I would assume its pretty simple install if we knew what they connected into to make it work?

so if any of you are messing arounnd with your Plat. Model and notice what the front camera is connected to please let me know.........Thanks!

 

How will you get the console screen to display the camera, though?

 

its already wired for 4 cameras just need to know what to plug or splice into? the camera button on the dash will pick up the signal.

 

Good Luck - don't void your warranty in the process...

 

Did you find out what camera can be installed in the front

 

no was waiting for the service manual to come out. althought I did see a plat. front bumper for sale with a camera installed in it ......so that confirms my thoughts it just a plug and play installation.

 

If anyone with a maxima that has the front camera,can you take a picture of the plug location for the front camera just want to see if the SL is capable of an upgrade thanks

 

Would love to see this work. I have an SR and would like to add this feature.

 

I saw someone post the manual last week. I'll try to find it and link it if someone doesn't beat me to it. Any luck on finding the front camera harness?

Pages 273 - 276, assuming the around view monitor control unit will not be present on models other than Platinum.

I know that I am not directly adding anything to solving this problem, but my understanding is that Auto manufacturer's specifically Japanese, are not installing "generic" harnesses into cars, ie base model and platinum will get very different harnesses.
My experience comes from Honda, where each car is wired specifically for the features that come with the car and nothing more.
As such, I severely doubt you can plug-n-play separate components from the higher end version into more basic models.
Additionally, the additional features may require specific activation or programming with Nissan tech computer.

I would love to be proven wrong on this, but with current level of automation and computerization, there is simply no reason for Auto company to spent even 1 more cent on producing the vehicle than absolutely necessary.

To illustrate my point, go onto any nissan parts online site and search for "harness".
Nissan's parts are a pain to identify, compared with Honda, but nevertheless, set your car as SL, find main harness, write down the part number.
Then repeat for Platinum.

 

The way I interpret the manual, it looks like the around view control unit when wired up and receives signals from the cameras creates the around view image and sends to the AV display. It seems feasible that with the AV control unit installed and cameras installed, it should send signal to monitor. Don't know if this correlates, but My g37 didn't come with paddle shifters, but it was pre wired for it. All I had to do was connect to the existing wiring harness that was wrapped up in the steering column.

 

I would assume that it would be much cheaper for Nissan to manufacture every wiring harness to be the same rather than having multiple wiring harnesses. But if I'm not mistaken, wouldn't you also have to replace the side view mirrors as well to get the camera underneath?

 

Yes, you'd need the side view mirrors as well.

Not to hijack this thread but I too was wondering if the paddle shifters could be retro fitted to the Platinum. I really liked them on my 2010

 

It worked on my 2012 g37. The car was prewired... I just had to purchase the parts and plug and play. The harness/connectors were there and wrapped. Just unwrapped them and plugged in the paddle shifters.


I agree with the prior thread, that it just takes too much effort to make multiple harnesses. All my BMW's were the same way as well. At least they will flash the ecu to enable any add-ons after the car was built. My only questions with this is if Nissan would have to enable to module/feature. Does anyone know or have any info about Nissan Consult 4 software for our vehicles?

Can someone with a platinum edition take some photos of the front camera wiring connections behind the grill. Thanks in advance, still trying to see if this is possible.

 

Anyone has tried this or any updates?

 

Does anyone have any updates?

 

Bringing this back up. Anyone else have any info on doing this?

 

I'm very interested in this too, for my SL.
