![]() Once removed, flip the connector upside down. Use a very small screwdriver by lightly prying between the face and the connector body. If you are not going to do it this way and are just cutting the wires, skip down a few steps to the RCA female end install and theįirst, you will need to pop the front face piece off that covers the front of the terminals. I am going to go about it the way I chose to do it which was to remove the old terminals and install new ones. Or, you can cut the existing wires far from the connector to give you some working room, tape off the dash harness wires that you cut, and solder the new wires onto the existing wires that you just cut off that are still attached to the connector. Dealing with the terminals we are working with, you can remove the terminals from the connector, re-insert new terminals with longer wires, and re-insert them into the connector. Now, we will work with the main M84 connector that was attached to the Telematics C/U. Please take caution as the brackets are sharp and can cut you, or can cut/scratch the dash or lower center console if you drop it. Remove the Telematics C/U and disengage and connectors on the rear. Once it is free, remove the electrical connectors to it. Once it pops loose, wiggle the top portion up and down as the upper trim piece has rear facing hooks with a few different steps on them. Remove the center console trim piece around the Telematics C/U and vents by grabbing your fingers behind the trim piece and pulling backwards.

Either sacrifice a USB port to a motherboard to get the pins/terminals out of it which you can get from Fry’s Electronics or DigiKey, or find a plug in a junkyard to steal pins from. Be sure that you get a camera that has a yellow RCA output wire. A decent rear view back-up reverse camera with no guidelines, or with the wiring to disable the guidelines. And install your camera as provided in the instructions provided with your camera. ![]() Add an RCA female to two pins, ground the other pin. To each his own.Ī brief overview for the install is as follows. You could get a different camera and mount it in the tag area either on a tag bracket or from the plastic above the tag area. In the future, I will pull the camera out some, or try to make an angle wedge to point it up more. Because of the tight location under the rear hatch handle, I do pick up a lot of the bottom of the hatch handle. My camera install is just about 100% fine for me. So, with that said, every unit can accept a rear view camera. The only thing that varies is the programming. In dealing with the Leaf, almost all Telematic C/Us are the same, same part numbers, same buttons, same everything. Besides, it is still a Nissan at heart and many of the designs/components were designed by the same people that did the Juke and other Japanese models. ![]() I am a Nissan Master Technician and with modifying many other models, I thought that I could do this with the Leaf. Foremost, the most important thing is installing the camera and thinking about the people that will be driving the car after your modify it.įirst off let me start off by saying what I did and how I came up with this. Common sense is needed when running wires, tucking under/between things, etc. This modification requires the basic knowledge of electricity. *DISCLAIMER* I am not responsible if you mess up your own car or someone else’s car. I thought that I would contribute my work and findings with adding a rear view camera to an SV model.
