Alpine C117D Rear View Camera Install

This an easy install for those who have an Alpine head unit with direct connect rear camera capabilities. The head unit I installed is the Alpine INA-W900BT with (Bluetooth, Navigation, iPod, and Rear Camera). I wanted to do the cleanest install possible so I pretty much removed every panel inside my Z. I had everything removed including seats in about 1 1/2 hours (really not bad since this was my first time removing everything). All the panels pop out (a few screws).

I purchased this neat little license plate light with a built-in camera made for Nissan vehicles on eBay. I removed the camera that came with it since I purchased the Alpine C117D. This little light housing w/camera makes it look factory installed. See pictures below.

Tools/items used:

10 & 14 mm sockets

Phillips screwdriver

Wire connectors

Shrink wrap

Heat Gun

Lots of Zip Ties
