2010 JSW OEM Backup Camera with RNS510

[barkleygracie]

Should be taking delivery of my 2010 JSW any day (black/cornsilk, pano, rear airbags, nav), and can't wait. When I ordered the car, I was disappointed it did not come with an optional rear backup camera - I have kids and dogs, and believe this is a great safety feature.
I read on another forum that it is possible to install an OEM backup camera if you have the RNS-510.
Is this true?
Has anyone installed it?
Is this something the dealer could/would install?
Thanks!

yes, I am sure there will soon be install kits for the OEM backup cameras
Kufatec makes some harnesses and generic cameras, not sure about the popup hatch latch camera mod, but I am sure it can be done.

I'll admit I'm waiting for someone to do this. I will do the retrofit onto my car.

I knew I had seen a retrofit kit-

it was just on Kufatec's European site, not the USA one.

Wow - thanks! Exactly what I was looking for! Will have to have DH take a look, and see if it is something he can install.
Thanks again!

I thought about it, and the wiring has to run the entire length of the car, so a JSW the wires might need lengthened.

but install would require removing the headliner, and inside the rear hatch, as well as other trim and access panels to route the wires from head unit to hatch latch.
but the auto pop emblem to show the camera is so cool.
