Did you get it to work right?
The parts that I used:
1. KEN DDX470 -- Mobile Video Unit..
2. SCO NN03B -- 95+ NN PWR/SPK>CAR HRNS etc.
3. SCO NN1456B -- Which is the 06+ Nissan 350Z KIT
4. *OPTIONAL: iPOD Video Direct Cable.. which I love since I'm gutted.
KEN KCAiP202
Those are the Part Numbers in case there is any confusion.

This thing is really nice. feeding the wires from the camera through the license plate light hole and into the trunk was hard, good thing i had my friend helping. The camera itself looks identical to the one on my sisters 2013 Accord. The video quality is great. And at night its still very well lit. It took about an hour to install. and took about 12 days to get here from China. I recommend it. If anyone has any questions I am willing to give advice.

Pics of the head unit and pics of the camera feed??
Mine should be in tomorrow but wont be able to install till Friday. And im definitely ordering that camera soon.
What cable from eBay are you guys using for iPod control? I found my sisters 8GB iPod and I want to hook it up.

Daytime Picture. Photo doesnt do justice
Night Time (9 pm) Photo is a tad bit grainy in person, but i was amazed of how well lit it was behind me.
Wiring: I fed the wires from the hatch , behind the side panels; then right here in the picture, behind the steering column then to the radio itself.

Yep. as long as you wire the power wire from the camera to the to the light green wire(reverse light wire). The black wire from the camera needs to be secured to a non painted metal surface(there are plenty of areas to do that in the hatch). Remember that the head unit has a reverse camera wire attached to it. You will need some gauge wire to extend that wire to the back of the car so it reaches the reverse wire and connect it there too.

I just got mine, I connected the wires, also the RCA's to the back of the radio but I get no sound. Everything works great but no sound. Theres 1 or 2 plugs that connected to OE Bose radio but arent connected to anything now. Do those have anything to do with it?

those plugs are not used. so you are on the right track with that. I would re-check your wiring. make sure you have solid connections. I honestly don't remember if i connected the RCA's its been awhile. are you using the metra wiring harness too? btw i have an 04 touring with BOSE. what do you have?

I used the included Metra harness that came with the kit. I connected all the RCA cables to the back of unit, and power+ground were matched up.
There is no settings in the unit to make it go from the output speak wires to the RCA. I thought maybe that had something to do with it.
Do I just cut off the RCA tips and connect the wires straight to the purple green etc wires like other radio installs?
Edit: This is the harness they sent me. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_1207075...s.html?tp=2977
