cvt transmission swap reverse camera not working

[altima21]

so after i successfully did my swap from the cvt to the 6mt, i noticed that my camera and reverse lights dont turn on when i shift the car into reverse, what can be the problem? any help would be appreciated

I dont know about these transmissions specifically, but most AT to MT swaps require a lot of wire splicing. did you have a walk through to follow?

[altima21]

No i actually dont have one, im not sure where to even start with that, any help would be appreciated thanks

[zswap0429]

without a good walkthrough... theres nothing i can really help with. last one i did was on a 300zx.

[altima21]

ahh ok let me do some,research and see if i can get something

This is the 300zx wiring walk through. just to give you somewhere to start.

So you got your car started?

As for the wiring, yeah, it simply sounds like you didn't get the dash harness. Basically ripping your dash off and replacing the existing one with an MT specific dash harness. When I got mine, it was the only one left in the States at the time, they aren't easy to come by and it has to be for your exact year and model and has to have those features, basically Nissan parts will have to do a VIN lookup on any manual version of your car with the same features and that would be the harness you're looking for.

Also, as for the car thinking it's an automatic, I believe that's a reprogram of the BCM which can be done via the Consult 3 program. You can find those on ebay.

yes i did get the car started only by taking it to uprev and they removed the immobilizer and the car started with a wire directly from the mt starter to the battery, for some reason the car doesnt even want to crank if i dont do it that way. so if i get the dash harness will it start normally? and i will have to do some research cuz man those harnesses go for like 700 to 1000 directly from nissan and getting the harness with solve my reverse lights and camera problem, correct? and the consult 3 can program
the features that my car has to it? cuz i have the fully loaded one with 6 cd changer navi , bose music etc, and thanks for your help i really appreciate it, i have been without the car for like 7 months lol.

Your cars features are the same as mine was AUTO so they should match up I believe.

This is the Main Dash Harness you are looking for:

Here's other harnesses and parts I bought:

Here's some more info you might need:

Regarding the security light being on:

So if you lock the doors it should turn solid for 20 seconds then blink. But what I want to see is when you turn the ignition on, if that comes on solid. When the Nats is not active, the security light would be off when the key is in the ON position. That means the computer can't read the chip in the key. So the only thing they by passed is the steering lock release so you can turn the ignition on, but it's still unable to read the key. If uprev truly disabled nats then the security light would be off, since it's not off, it's active IMO.

BCM/NATS Reprogramming:

Well if you can find a mobile tech or something that programs keys, a Nissan Tech can decode the BCM 5 digit pin. So if you have the proper 4 digit pin they normally can program. What makes most outside techs not able to program keys is the software and the fact they can't decode the BCMs number since the Nissan database does this.

If you can get the 5 digit number off the top of the BCM then a Nissan tech can decode it for you. It would look like this;

If it's on the BCM it would be here on the stick. If not there, then the scanner will need to pull the pin.. If you're unable to do this with the UpRev software then you will have the numbers from me so a mobile tech can do it if they have the software (consult 3 & security card) to program the keys.
