Description
Give your ND an integrated rear view camera! These are especially useful on RFs, but we like them on all our cars. This is a full factory-style integration without the weird little bumper pimple that the 2019 cars got. Shift into reverse, and the screen on your dash changes to the camera view including side traffic alerts. Head forward and you're back to normal.
The distance indicators on the screen are more useful than some of the other aftermarket cameras out there. They range from 8" to 28" from the bumper, making it easy to back in perfectly. However, the vertical lines on the display are not quite as wide as the car actually is due to the low viewing position of the camera, so take extra care when backing into tight spaces.
This kit is fully compatible with Miatas equipped with Apple CarPlay. Not compatible with Sport models that do not have a screen for obvious reasons. Easy installation, it's plug and play other than one new hole you need to drill above the license plate. The kit even includes the right size hole saw.

Works great! Good instructions. Makes driving safer.
The video was what sold me. Projects are so much easier when you can see it done and follow along. Especially when it comes to deconstructing the interior trim. I love my new backup camera.
I purchased this rearview camera and decided to tackle the job myself after watching the video that FM provided. It really is as straight forward as mentioned already. Install can be done within a couple hours moving at a slow pace and everything is provided for the install. My camera kept popping out a slight bit after going over bumps due to me (im assuming) not reaming out enough material from the bumper. So instead of disconnecting/removing and reaming the cam I reinforced it with some JB Weld plastic bonder and added a smooth finished seem around the setup. Works like a charm, also gives the extra feel of security. The cam will adjust from shade to bright sun automatically and has a few display options to play around with. Overall I think this is a very good deal if youre looking for a quality camera with easy installation.
Watched their installation video for tips and tricks. I'm used to disassembling the vehicle, so I took close to 30 minutes from start to finish. Definitely a solid upgrade.
Watched the Video a few times . Was still nervous about taking the dash apart.
So I started with the camera & did all the trunk work first for a warm up.
Threading the wire through the trunk grommet was the toughest part.
Think I was "up to speed" when I did the Dash/ interior a few days later. & I then just plugged in the camera when I got back to the trunk. Everything worked fine. & I was pleased with my installation order.
Liked the way the camera looks (can barely see it) & works well. Thanks
