ok guys i just got a 2008 g37s with everything except the navigation package.. call the dealer and the said that the dont install it after the car is sold but anywayz really want that and the back up camara. so does anyone know where in nyc i could get this done for a fair price? thx

 

It's not an easy plug and play. Some dealerships will do it but it will be prohibitively expensive. Parts alone will cost more than the package most likely. Did you buy a pre-owned car and not have the option available to you?

 

unless you want to spend 4k on parts and labor, you should look at aftermarket rear view camera options...maybe even look into integrating it to the factory lcd.

 

nah i got it from a private seller not the dealership. navigation really not that important to me but i do want the bk up camara

 

aftermarket is your best option.

 

its a bitch to backup without the camera !

 

You can buy the oem navi system on ebay for $1500 and try installing it yourself. Link But you will still have to get you a camera to mount.

 

I'm in the same boat.....

I am contemplating this....http://www.discountcarstereo.com/detail.aspx?ID=1267

Saw some of the GT-R guys doing this as their cars do not have a rear camera option. This unit plugs into the factory harness behind the stereo and will switch the lcd screen to the camera (need to purchase separately). You can even add another video input device (i.e. Garmin Nuvi 53 for navi or dvd player, etc.)

This looks promising. If I do pull the trigger.....I'll post up.

 

i was told by the dealership that every car is wired the same . so if you don't have naviation ,buy it from a ebay or junk yard complete navigation and you should be able to install it? not sure 100% just what i was told !
i do you now that all automatic are prewire for paddle shifter ,so if you have an automatic and want paddle shifter .just buy it from junk yard or ebay and plug and play

 

^that just goes to show how ignorant dealerships are.

 

Correct about plug n play on the AT paddle shifters, negative on the Nav. May care are prewired fromthe factory for many options that they aren't equipped with. Nav on this car isn't one of those.

 

I was wondering whole purpose of flash drive slot on dash with Technology package?
