Reverse Camera

[jawrgy]

Hey,

Ive checked through the threads but cant to seem to find an answer. What i want to know is how to disconnect/remove the reverse camera that comes on some v35's. I can get to the screws and undo them with a socket set but i cant seem to figure out how to disconnect the electrical cord that is attached to it. I didnt want to yank on it but it seemed pretty tight when i gave it a bit of a pull. So does anyone have any experience removing these camera's ill try post up a few pics but for now i cant be bothered as i just put it all back together and i cant be bothered unplugging all the little rivets that hold the boot cover in place. Theres a picture below so you know what camera im talking about

If your interested there is not a big hole when u un-screw the camera, its just 3 holes, 2 for the screws and 1 for the cord. So it is possible to cover it up and shift the 350gt badge over it.

O well i got bored and fiddled around with the camera and figured it out. The plastic housing (big white thing) acts as a clip so u just need to slide a flat head down the side to get the camera component free.

What my plans are is to remove the camera and cover the holes with the 350gt badge. I will then move the camera to be situated above the number plate because the camera is in its own waterproof case.

My only problem is the cord. I need to buy additional wiring so the camera will reach above the number plate. My only problem is i cant tell what cord it is. I sliced a bit of the rubber in the boot to have a look but there where silver coils rapped around a white tubing. Maybe if someone know what this sort of cord is they could help me out so i can get some =D. theres a picture down low that has a picture of the wiring.

O well had a nice long post typed up with pictures on how i moved the camera etc... but refreshed the page and lost it all =(.

So I ended up moving the camera to be situated above the number plate. All works fine =D. Had to slice the wires and extend them with $5 wiring from dicksmith. After that i drilled a hole in the bottom of the boot and fed the wires through and cable tied the camera firmly to the number plate. Gives a perfect view.

Spent $11 over all and did in 3 hours. (I have no experience in electrical so anyone can do this if I can, just remember to disconnect the - on the battery.

I covered the 3 holes with white silicone, cheap way but cant tell the difference. Unfortunately my original plan was to put the 350GT badge over the holes and cover the silicone but the paint has come away over the holes and will have to find another 350gt badge of a larger size to cover the missing paint. For now i have the GTR badge on (will replace as soon as i get the new badge.)

Photo's below, pretty simple
