Hello,We recently bought the 2010 Nissan Rogue 360. Does anyone know how to upgrade the back up camera display in the mirror to fit a bluetooth setup or a navigation setup?

Most backup camera systems use a standard NTSC composite video signal.

For integrated nav:

You will need to purchase some sort of video switcher/mixer (to combine/select the 2 video signals) and a compatible GPS system that outputs a composite video signal.

The Garmin GVN53 is the only GPS system I know of that outputs NTSC video:

There are a variety of video switchers out there for car use. They are commonly used for in car entertainment systems. Try a local car audio shop.

All of this does not come cheap... the GVN53 is about $500 USD plus figure another $100-$200 for a video switcher. Figure $700 USD for the parts plus installation costs. You can buy a full featured touch screen GPS for a lot less.

Cost aside, another concern is screen size. I assume the Rogue comes with the small 2.4" review camera screen. This is way too small to make a GPS display legible. Even the most basic GPS systems use a 3.5" or 4.3" hi resolution screen.

As for bluetooth:

I have not seen something like you are describing. ie. Integrate Bluetooth with NTSC display. It may exist, I just haven't seen it.

I recently had an opportunity to ride in a vehicle equipped with the rear view mirror monitor and I have to say it is completely useless at night or in the rain. Also the view is so small in bright daylight, I'd have a hard time justifying this as a safety feature.
