Brian CarKitCompany makes great stuff - from personal experience. If you are considering adding camera(s) and/or in-motion control to this upgrade, and you want to do it painlessly and seamlessly, then your best bet is no doubt CarKitCompany's option. If you don't have this you can skip this and the next section, but before you do. Many of us early model owners installed (or had someone install) an aftermarket rear-backup camera kit. This allows those of us with after-market rear cams to plug our existing cam directly into the new system (more on this below). The harnesses themselves were all labelled with what goes where - foolproof really.Īndrejus has added an RCA composite video input to the proprietary Nissan rear camera in harness. I did find the connector insertion on the back of the head unit a bit snug from side to side. My only suggestion for improvement on the in-line harnesses would be to provide a little more slack between the connectors at either end. The in-line harnesses included in the kit look professional and have wrapping tape that matched the OEM tape on my '09 head-unit harness. If you order, have no worries about the delivery/shipping. I will say that the shipment arrived within a few days from Lithuania, and the packing and organization is exemplary. I won't post unboxing pics, that's been done elsewhere by 7racer. With an after-market "generic" composite video output rear camera? Yes. With an after-market rear Sub kit? Yes. Ess's speaker upgrade kit? Yes, I have his kit and no problems at all. the dedicated iPod/iPhone 30-pin connection (if you had this optional cable/connector added to your car) the Compact Flash slot - never used this either - it was too limited. Personally, after ripping 3 CDs to it, I stopped using it so I do not consider it a great loss. Newer (2014) Nav maps + ability to upgrade maps yourself using DVD(s) USB mp3/audio input (doubles as the iPod input and I believe it charges devices also) Higher res screen (with slightly larger display area) Direct rear camera connection (customized a little by Andrejus to make it even simpler) with grid lines Much much improved iPod/iPhone audio control/search/etc. Bluetooth audio without the need of any after-market adapter The more recent MFD/audio updates provide much more satisfaction that our earlier '09-'10 somewhat dated systems. Many thanks to 7racer for taking the initial plunge and posting his prelim results! Then, after 7racer's posts re prelim install proving it in, I ordered mine and started the installation. Like many here I was initially very skeptical - esp considering the relatively low cost of the upgrade, so I did not immediately jump on it, but I was excited. I was in touch with Andrejus (legertas) probably within hours of his posting about the availability of his upgrade kit. In short, this upgrade is awesome and everything it's advertised to be.
