Please post the URL - I've posted the one I could find and it DOESN'T state compatibility.
Because it doesn't HAVE to work with Android or Apple in order to perform the required functionality. Admittedly it's a problem in the J11b getting this button to work - but it's NOTHING to do with smartphone compatibility.
Are you REALLY sure about this. No one else on this forum as far as I am aware has mentioned this to be a problem. Perhaps you'd post links to where they have. Hence I conclude if your car isn't locking when you press the button on the door or hatch then YOUR car is faulty!
Incorrect - on a lot of cars you HAVE to plug the phone in to get full Android Auto functionality. I suggest you look at this article:

If you’ve got a Pixel, Pixel 2, or 2015 Nexus phone, you now have Android Auto wireless support. You almost certainly do not have the necessary hardware in your car to do wireless projection. A cable has been required because the phone runs Auto and just shows the UI on a screen — the car doesn’t have anything to do with it. Android Auto’s wireless mode is not operating over Bluetooth like phone calls and media streaming. There’s nowhere near enough bandwidth in Bluetooth to run Android Auto, so the feature used Wi-Fi to communicate with the display.
No cars roll off the assembly line with support for wireless mode in Android Auto, and only a handful of costly third-party head units have it. You’re looking at a minimum of $600 for a head unit with support for wireless mode, and that’s before installation costs. Newer cars won’t even accept non-OEM head units without a lot of expensive modification
Unfortunately that applies to most car manufacturers it seems. A friend reported Honda charge £190! The mapping received with my new Ignis is out of date. At least with Nissan you do get free (albeit out-of-date) upgrades for three years.
As far as I can see there is nothing actually false in Nissan's statement you've copied out. It's merely very carefully worded to account for the limitations of the system.Nedmcg wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 12:22 am "YOUR WORLDS.
With NissanConnect EVO, New QASHQAI becomes your smartphone’s
best friend. Featuring new, more intuitive graphics, you can access
your music, driving eco score, Facebook newsfeed and TripAdvisor
tips. The basic app package is free for the first three years and the
NissanConnect EVO system will also keep you in the loop with
Bluetooth hands-free calling, audio streaming, digital radio (DAB+)
and an iPod/USB input."
As you quoted above again I will point out false advertising on your behalf
Only apps allowed are Facebook ,twitter,Eurosport ,and trip adviser,through Nissan connect app via usb registered through your cars vin number and only free for two yrs not three as stated yes great graphics there lol
You can’t stream music through via Bluetooth in new Qashqai unlike many cheaper models of other brands the leader being ford who allow reading out of texts etc true hands free systems
The Bluetooth function in new model only allows you call receive ignore and contact list via screen therefore having to keep touching screen is same as phone in hand in my book the buttons on steering wheel allow you to end call the make call bottom with voice command button only brings up phone menu on screen unlike its older models and has to be the worst hands free system to date in any car .many thousands have reported this failure if you take time to read other forums and as reported Nissan and car salesman have quoted Nissan said they are working on it and may need a firmware update which is unlikely .
It IS free for three years (at least) - you have to re-register but there's no charge.
You are WRONG to state bluetooth music streaming doesn't work - at least in respect of my experience in a J11a. I could stream music from both my cheapo Medion Android phone and my ancient Nokia windows phone - albeit only in sequential track order. But both phones WOULD stream music. I didn't use the Medion phone for texts but certainly my Nokia's texts WOULD be read out by Connect and I could reply by voice.
The only thing different about the J11b Connect system that I believe other people have reported is the non-functionality of the steering wheel button.
