ok, so the light green wire is in the harness that runs along the back wall of the trunk just below the hatch latch. just pop out the rear trunk trim and you can get to it easily. there is also a nice grounding point on the upper passenger side when you remove the trunk trim panel with the light in it.
Use the light green wire and you are good to go, works great.

It takes about 2 weeks to get anything from china as it does from USA to Canada (vice versa).
If it takes longer than 10 business days, you should email the seller.
Hope it comes through

that stinks, the seller was very good about communication so im sure they'll work it out. I thought it might have been stuck in customs or something...

I'm still waiting for mine, and getting a bit pissed about it. I contacted the seller a few days ago and just heard back this AM. They want me to be "patient" and keep waiting, even though it was shipped on 8/28 and the tracking info shows the package never made it out of China. I'm going to give it a few more days, and then file a complaint with PayPal if the seller still doesn't want to send a replacement. I was told several other shipments went out the same day as mine, and were delivered here in the US on 9/4.

So the power wire that comes with the camera can just be tapped into the reverse light? From the pics on the ebay ad, it seems that the power wire has a plug... Do you cut the plug and then tap into the reverse wire?
Also the ad says there is no returns on damaged items within 14 days of it shipping out... It seems people are waiting more then 14 days to recieve them, anyone concerned about that?

What type of hu are you using? Mine switches to the reverse screen when the hu gets 12v+. I'm gonna hook my cam power to acc and have the hu enable reverse camera view when in reverse. That way you can have a rear view anytime
Btw it was only 35$, all of my stuff takes a good 14 days so I'm not too concerned.
Besides if anyone has issues I'm sure paypal will refund your payment especially if a lot of packages don't arrive.
Good luck

i just used my hd camcorder to test the camera on my avic d3 but your hu should work the same way. I basically had the camera playing a video clip and the minute i gave the reverse wire on the HU 12V+ it would turn the rear view input on so i could see the clip. But if i clicked the rear view button it would also work even though there was no 12V on the reverse line.
I think its neat in case you wanna just see behind you even when you are not reversing, if you connect the camera power to the reverse lights you wont be able to use that feature (screen will be black). Gives you some future options i guess.
This is what sucks about china though, im used to it now in canada since it takes a long time from the US. I just hope the seller isnt a douche or he will make a lot of Z enemies.
Im sure the seller is a bit overwhelmed with the orders, the nissan its made for may not be very popular so the orders must be piling up just from the Z forums

Got tired of waiting for my original cam to arrive, so I ordered another one from a different eBay vendor:

I've had better luck with HK vendors than mainland ones, when it comes to fast delivery, so we'll see what happens. If I end up with an extra, I'm sure I can sell it to one of my fellow local Z-owners.
