#QASHQAI 2017 ANDROID#
What NissanConnect - and CarPlay and Android Auto - adds to the Qashqai is greater customer appeal. Those new models should be available from November, so be sure to ask your dealer before parting with your cash. If you're looking to buy a new Qashqai, however, you're in luck - but you'll have to make sure you're buying the new model with support for the new internal tech.
#QASHQAI 2017 UPGRADE#
Because there's different hardware powering NissanConnect, this is a complete departure from the old system and you won't be able to upgrade to it. Sadly this isn't an upgrade option for those who already have a Nissan Qashqai - even if it was a model you bought in 2018. How do I get the new NissanConnect? Can I upgrade my car?

That said, with Android Auto and CarPlay being so clean, we wouldn't be surprised if many Qashqai drivers opted for the smartphone-based system. We suspect this is because of the input lag, taking that touch response from your screen to your phone and back causes a delay that Nissan's own mapping avoids. What we will say is that the native Nissan mapping is faster to respond than those on smartphones (from our experience). While Nissan's new system offers a lot, supporting CarPlay and Android Auto will appeal to the tech heads out there, offering the familiarity and ease of a smartphone-based system. The new version of NissanConnect is certainly an improvement over the previous system that was behind the times, so it's definitely a positive move for those considering a new Qashqai. It's going to be great for route planning. This will let you plan your routes on your phone (using TomTom mapping) check traffic and push destinations to your car.
You also get voice controls, you can have messages read out to you and there's a companion smartphone app called Door to Door Navigation (G oogle Play and iTunes). We've mentioned TomTom and they have been a significant partner on the new mapping, supply real-time traffic data to the system it also comes with 5-years of free map updates which are delivered over the air.

There's also crossover into the driver display too, offering navigation direction and some other notifications between the dials. It doesn't grow in the size, however, and a 7-inches, it's pretty small compared to many of the 10-inch systems out there. Although the fascia design in the car is the same, it's a new user interface, new display, new processor, and some button changes. The whole interface has been completely redesigned - and we mean completely. NissanConnect offers a whole lot moreīut the updated Nissan Qashqai isn't just about smartphone compatibility. One thing to note is that the because these experiences are defined by Apple and Google, they have complete control over the UI - in the case of Apple CarPlay, you lose some useful space because Apple wants to have some UI elements taking up screen space.
As CarPlay and Android Auto become more sophisticated and integrated, these things will be reflected in your car too. You'll also have access to messaging support, media apps - like Spotify - and a whole lot more.
