Ok guys, I know it has been a while since I was here. So I thought that I would just chime in. First, I need to go back and edit my original post. This write-up is only to be applied to all 2011-2012 Leafs. It, for the most part, is slightly different to that of the 2013+ models. I have...

Yeah, that was a typo, sorry. I meant the 2013, according to the Nissan FSM, states it is a 32 pin connector (16 pins across), and the 2012 has a 40 pin connector (20 pins across). If you turned the ignition on with the center stack out, or the passenger airbag indicator light unplugged, that...

Going by the 2013 wiring diagrams, I do not see how "jawshoeaw" made my instructions work with a 2013 Model. The wiring pinouts are completely different and not even close. Hell, eve nthe main connector is different. The 2012 model has a 20 pin connector where as the 2013 has a 16 pin...

Well I was looking at the wiring diagrams for the 2013 Leaf and the wiring is different with different pin locations for the camera wires. Rumor has it that today I may be installing a camera into a 2013 SV model. I'll pop off the hatch and confirm/deny the wiring exists or if wires have to be...

Can you take a picture of what you are talking about and post it up? Is this after you modded the camera to eliminate the lines? You can always disable the OEM lines and use the ones that came with the camera you bought.

Many after-market cameras that do come with the reference lines have a looped wire that can be cut to eliminate the reference lines. My camera did have the lines, they were blue, but there was a looped blue wire that was labeled reference lines. I cut that and the lines are gone. I would...

Sorry for it not working your first time, but don't give up, trust me, it is easy....... First, we are working on the harness/wire side of the connector, not the front/face of the connector. Looking from the back, on the bottom, three pins over from the right, is a black wire. Cut that wire...

No insult taken. I thought the same thing while I was doing mine. I actually didn't expect to see this wiring there at the Telematics connector, as the other models I have worked with didn't have the wiring. I know for a fact that the wiring is not located in the hatch. There were no left...

Well good luck. If you have any questions or comments, please ask away.......

I didn't opt for the SL because over the life of my 2 year lease, it would cost me over $2400 more, for only one feature that I would use, which was the reverse camera. But, I just rectified this problem and successfully adapated an after-market camera to the stock OEM Telematics C/U for less...

The SL OEM camera, my cost, is over $400, plus that hatch handle cover piece. So for almost $500, it just wasn't feasible. I didn't want the SL because the lease agreement would have been almost $100 more a month, and over the 2 year lease it the SL would have cost me almost $2400 more. So...

I used an Audiovox ACA500 camera kit that I got from American Radio here in Roswell, GA. If you get a different camera that has fixed guidelines that you cannot remove, you can disable the Telematics sweeping guidelines from the settings. If I were to do this again, I think I would use an...

Yes, you could do that. I was just trying to do it as professional as possible since I work at a dealership. If someone tears this thing apart and takes a look behind the dash, I don't want them to freak out if something was rigged up and bring the car back.

Well, how about this for a first post. I thought that I would contribute my work and findings with adding a rear view camera to an SV model. *DISCLAIMER* I am not responsible if you mess up your own car or someone else’s car. This modification requires the basic knowledge of electricity...
