Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Smartphone Integration Features and Benefits
Once you connect to Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you’ll notice a very familiar look on the display screen inside your compatible Nissan vehicle. You’ll enjoy a streamlined look at all of your favorite apps and media directly on the dashboard. Since you no longer have to use your phone to access information, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow for better attentiveness behind the wheel.
One push of a button lets you operate these apps exactly as you would when using your smartphone. For instance, Google Maps or Apple Maps can be used for navigational directions -- even if your vehicle doesn’t have a built-in navigation system.

Even better, with OK Google or Siri controls all you need is the sound of your voice to access the information you want.
