Backup Camera definitely stopped working today..
So my backup camera decided to stop working today, randomly when I hopped in it just didn't turn on. So I took it to the dealership here in Honolulu (second day in Hawaii and the camera stops working, bad omen?...nah) They quoted me at $148 just to look at the car, seems kinda pricey. Unfortunately my factory warranty just expired, oh how lucky I am, lol.
The tech guy told me that it's mostly likely the sensor, but he can't tell me for sure until I pay the $148 to get the diagnostic. My question to you guys is; How much is the backup camera sensor, and is it something I can fix myself.
Thank you all for the help in advance,
-Andrew

hey buddy i have a back up camera available... if you want to test out the camera go into the hidden settings by pressing the volume **** once to turn off the stereo system
now hold the settings button while you turn the volume button
youll enter the hidden test menu
from here look for your cameras settings i forget what its called but look for camera calibration
once you click that option you should see the rear view if you dont then i have one available just shoot me a pm :-)
now hold the settings button while you turn the volume button
youll enter the hidden test menu

I'm not sure how this works on the G, but other backup cameras turn on when the backup lights turn on.
When you put your car into reverse, are the backup lights coming on? I wonder if maybe just the fuse went out for the backup lights, which is also not giving the signal for the camera to turn on.
It could also be the reverse switch. I've seen posts of this switch failing on older Gs. It sits on top of the transmission.
Just thought I'd throw this out there.

It's in the same spot as the 350z, but I don't know if theres more or less space for you to get your hands or a socket in there when you get the car jacked up/on ramps.
It's on the driver's side of the transmission.

So it turns out my lights don't come on when I shift into reverse, however the fuse is still good. So I'm guessing it's the reverse switch on the transmission now. I am stuck on the fence as to whether I should do it myself or just let Infiniti do it and swallow the money pill.

Question guys,
I am going to do the work myself, however, I do need to know if this Nissan part SWITCH ASSY-REVERSE LAMP - 350Z (Z33) 2003-2008
Nissan Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.com is interchangeable with my Infiniti. I got a quote from Infiniti of Honolulu today and it was ridiculous. Over $700 to replace the reverse sensor. I will upload a copy of the diagnostic so you guys can take look. I appreciate all the help. Thanks!

Okay, I got the part from Infiniti. @Cruz: I was reading your reply on the Nissan forum and you said that you had to take apart the center console from the top but do the work from the bottom. I just needed to know if it was necessary for the center console to be taken apart. Thanks for the help!
