Back-up Cam?
If ever a car needs one it is the Z
Found this at Costco typesauto.com. No fishing for the wires or drilling holes because a wireless video transmitter to the screen has a solar powered battery in the license frame. It does not require shifting to reverse. Can be activated with hand gesture. Power for the monitor is the car DC socket but I hope to find a DC source to wire it into. I have used it for about a week. So far so good. |

Lots of photos here. https://typesauto.com/collections/au...with-5-monitor
The advantage is that you don't need to fish wire from the camera to the brake light wiring or drill any holes. |

What I need more is a front camera. With that long hood it's hard to gauge distance. But then I'd have to put a license plate on the car. Deal breaker.

my backup camera on a tablet
Mounted the camera on rear plate. The camera is wifi. Since i have no oem nav, i mounted a tablet using magnets. I now have navigation, i can use google maps or waze. Can watch tv via slingbox. Play music from etc, The list goes on. Way better than any car navigation screen. I do miss the idrive wheel to be honest. I can remove it and lock it in glovebox if i wanted. Still have room for sunglasses also. Wifi camera was 30 dollars on amazon. 7 inch samsung tablet is not expensive. I love it

power supply
I just drilled a small hole thru the plastic and into sheet metal by the trunk light. Tapped into the battery and put a switch inside car just near rear hatch compartment. Also i installed a 12volt plug near hatch so it has constant power. Its where my usb charger is plugged in for tablet. Tablet always charging. I manually power my camera because the time delay. Takes about 10 seconds for app to see wifi and engage. Way to long. So i hit the switch way ahead of time. I can even drive and look in back of me on the road. Dont tap into Reverse lights the delay is way to long.
