Notes:
- Works on all Maximas.
- All you do is drill a little hole in the right light but in the left corner so it can be nice and centered.
- The video quality is great.
- You can run it to the reverse light if you want the camera alone and if you wanna use your camera while you drive then run an extra wire to the radio so you can activate it whenever you want.

Nissan and Infiniti engineered their cars to be able to detect and sense when the vehicle is either in PARK or NEUTRAL. This is very important when installing a remote start system in your manual transmission Nissan Maxima or Infiniti to avoid the vehicle staring in gear (and causing an unwanted accident). Many folks (even longtime professional installers) do not know about this and therefore do not install remote start systems on manual cars. This is actually very straight-forward to do.
Please note that the below is for the part where you tap into the Neutral Safety Input on your Remote start unit. You still have to follow the normal directions of installing the alarm or remote start unit.
When the car is in Park or Neutral, the ECU will see 0-volts. If not at 0, the car will not start. You can easily test this with a multi-meter to confirm as we did. The ECU gets its signal from the Park Neutral Safety switch. It also goes by the name Neutral Safety Switch or Inhibitor switch (they essentially work the same).
The Neutral Safety Switch Wire is usually GREEN/ORANGE on Automatic cars, and GREEN/WHITE on 5/6-Speed Manual cars. You just basically tap into this wire and use it to connect to the Neutral Safety Switch Input on your remote start. Most DEI, Viper, Compustar Remote Start and Alarm systems have this. Once this is done, you will now be able to operate your remote start no different than how it’s down on Automatic Transmission cars. It’s very safe and reliable as the signal is coming from the ECU.
It is strongly recommended that you have experience or work with a professional alarm/remote start installer. Please be very cautious and always verify with a multi-meter when in doubt. If you are doubtful and want to test in gear, put in the last (6th) gear and make sure there are no cars around you. Keep your e-Brake on as well through the whole process.

I have exciting information that will help you all that are trying to convert your multi AV into the regular AC controls so you can add in the double din stereo and have your ac controls still work. This reference will be from my 1996 Y33 Cima. I believe the same Y33 Cedric and Gloria’s are the same. But not entirely sure so you’ll have to look at yours to compare before trying this.
What a pain in the ## it was trying to find all the info and help (no help) from others. I asked many people about this since it wasn’t very clear in the instructions from Japan even after translating them. I finally found a cool dude Kevin O’Leary who helped me troubleshoot and find the right connectors. He had done it the super hard way and didn’t have the harness but was telling me which wires he used. Please give this man a follow on Instagram!! He deserves it!! My IG is @awwwthentic.

Yes, you will lose the ability to adjust the AC if the screen goes out. Most will opt for a double din faceplate where the controls are independent from the infotainment system. They also have a harness that makes the double din faceplate largely plug & play. I have the exact same unit as the author in working order but want the ability to put in an aftermarket stereo. I sourced this from a Cedric as it will allow me to still use the rear air purifier. You can also use a regular Gloria one if you don’t care about the purifier. PM me if you want details on where to get yourself one.

So I thought I’d use the factory Navigation unit that didn’t come in my 01 and make some use of it for the looks. I integrated my Garmin navi in place of the original touch screen, installed some of my own LED’s as well and it turned out better than I imagined. Given it’s more for looks than anything I wanted to use the factory Navi but didn’t want to rewire the A/C and everything and this was the easiest. Now just need to buy a single din and I’m set.
