Cost of Backup Camera from Dealer?

I'm thinking about getting a reverse backup camera due to the complete lack of visibility when reversing. Has anyone here gotten the dealership to install one? If so, how much did it cost?

I own a 2008 Coupe Journey, with no navigation system but it has a screen.

Would the reverse camera add to the value of the infiniti?

Not worth going to a dealer. They will have to replace everything, you will pay premium parts and labor costs. Depending on the dealer, they might even tell you they can't do it.

Take it to a quality shop and get an aftermarket one installed in the license plate holder or something like that. Still going to cost a few hundred bucks, and won't be OEM, but really won't feel any different.

As for adding value, it won't add any value because this feature is becoming commonplace on the newer cars. It might help a sale, but not for more money.

I can get OEM brand new camera and the chrome spoiler if you want to pursue this mod to your car?

theinfinite - im jumping in a little late but head over to g35driver.com and check out my threads in the electronics section, you can add an automated reverse camera for about 450 yourself or use the aux input and it will cost about 150. the stock camera is way too cost prohibitive IMO.

edit - here is the link
