Nissan supports Android Auto
Embrace the future of driving with Android Auto in your Nissan. This feature enhances your driving experience by directly integrating your smartphone's best features into your car's dashboard. This guide explains Nissan Android Auto, how you can set it up, and the broad array of functionalities it brings to your fingertips. We'll also cover which Nissan models support this technology and how you can explore these options at Concord Nissan.

What is Android Auto?

Android Auto is a platform that mirrors features from an Android smartphone to the car's dashboard. Designed to minimize distractions while driving, it enables you to use apps like Google Maps, make phone calls, send messages, and control music using voice commands or the car's built-in controls.

Nissan Android Auto Setup

To set up Nissan Android Auto in your vehicle, follow these steps:

  1. Download the Android Auto app on your smartphone from the Google Play Store.
  2. Connect your smartphone to Nissan via USB cable.
  3. Your Nissan's display should prompt you to start Android Auto, or you may need to select it through the touchscreen menu.

Compatibility Requirements

For a seamless integration of Android Auto into your driving experience, there are a few essential compatibility requirements:

  • Android Smartphone: Your phone must run Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher. This is essential because earlier versions of Android do not support the Android Auto application.
  • Vehicle or Aftermarket Stereo Compatibility: Your Nissan must have a built-in infotainment system that supports Android Auto. Many modern cars come equipped with this feature, but verifying this for your specific model and year is important. Alternatively, if your Nissan does not come with this feature, an aftermarket stereo can be installed that supports Android Auto.
  • USB Cable: A high-quality USB cable is necessary to connect your Android phone to your vehicle. This connection is crucial for the stability of Android Auto's performance, ensuring that your phone can communicate effectively with your car's system without disruptions.

What Can I Do with Android Auto?

Android Auto transforms your Nissan's infotainment system into an extension of your Android smartphone, enabling you to stay connected and control key mobile functions through your vehicle's dashboard interface. With Nissan Android Auto, you can easily access navigation, music, messages, and more, all while keeping your focus on the road.

  • Navigation: Use Google Maps or Waze for real-time GPS navigation and traffic updates. This includes voice-guided directions, lane guidance, and on-the-go adjustments for routes based on current traffic conditions.
  • Communication: Make phone calls or send messages using voice commands. This hands-free interaction increases safety by allowing you to keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel while staying connected with your contacts.
  • Music and Media Control: Access and control your favorite music and media apps like Spotify, Google Play Music, or podcasts directly from your car's display. You can play, pause, skip, or search for music via voice commands or touchscreen inputs.
  • Real-time Alerts: Receive updates about traffic, weather, and other relevant notifications. Android Auto can alert you to oncoming traffic issues and weather conditions and even read your schedule or reminders as you drive.
  • Voice Commands: Use the Google Assistant integrated into Android Auto for various voice-activated functionalities. Say "OK, Google" to start interacting with your assistant to get directions, send messages, make calls, and control music, all without lifting a finger from the steering wheel.
