Re: Android Phone Apps: Door-to-Door Navigation & NissanConnect

The topic originator has a 2016 car - this won't work with one of those. It's what you have to use with a 2018 on if wanting to connect via Android.

Re: Android Auto

Yes - that's on an 18 plate, that deal is on a 19 plate. A year-old car, even with no miles on the clock, will always be cheaper

Stupid question, but have you tried turning up the volume on the handset itself whilst on the call? I've been caught out a few times

Re: Outdated Sat Nav Mapping

For example, they are currently re-constructing junction 28 of the M4 - google maps already shows the new layout, both in the car and on line , shown here as the grey line...
