Hi. I'm about to buy a 2014 Qashqai Acera Premium. I really hate the Nissan connect radio and sat nav though. I want to use Google Maps not some old fashioned system that needs updating with a SD card :D

If I get it professionally replaced with a Sony system (that has Android Auto) is that going to cause me problems e.g. switching off parking sensors out controlling some other feature?

Always use the SEARCH button before starting new thread. Lots of previous posts on replacing
the QQ's Connect system.

I've searched and searched - still searching now :-D I'm guessing I'm using the wrong search terms "aftermarket" and "replace connect" got me nowehere. I'll keep trying.

If you're getting it installed professionally then let them worry about it. Just make it clear before they start that you want full functionality or dont do it.

Thanks gvmdaddy - that's a good point. I just want to know that it's possible really, but I've messaged 3 companies in the area now asking them, so hopefully they'll convince me it will work!

You know what, I'm an idiot! The menu system for things like Parking aids etc aren't in the Nissan Connect are they? From reading the manual, it mentions the Vehicle Information Display. That's the thing on the dashboard between the speed/rev dials isn't it?

In that case, I have no worries! Thanks gvmdady!
