What Is Nissan Connect? | A Guide to This Smart Technology

NissanConnect is an advanced infotainment and connectivity system that’s designed to make your experience more enjoyable and convenient. It combines navigation, security, and entertainment features in one to help you stay connected on the road. You can use the NissanConnect app and your vehicle’s touch screen to access real-time traffic updates, remote vehicle controls, and entertainment. If you’re looking for hands-free communication, streaming services, or more safety features, NissanConnect makes driving smarter and more convenient.

Key NissanConnect Features

NissanConnect apps are packed with a range of features designed to improve navigation, security, and entertainment. Here’s what you can expect:

Hotspot

Every new Nissan comes with a free trial for a Wi-Fi hotspot, valid for the first 30 days. After the trial period ends, the plan costs $20 per month. It’s powered by AT&T and can connect up to seven devices at the same time. It helps you to connect everything, from phones to laptops and even gaming systems.

SiriusFM

Drivers receive a free three-month trial subscription to SiriusXM with every new Nissan. This gives you access to the largest network of radio, sports, news, and talk radio shows. You also get SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link for real-time traffic, weather, and fuel prices to help you make smarter decisions. With SiriusXM, you can avoid crowded areas before you reach them, plan where to stop for gas, and even find parking at your destination before you get there.

Navigation

NissanConnect comes with a built-in GPS to help you stay on track with real-time traffic updates, turn-by-turn directions, and voice-activated navigation. Over-the-air updates keep your maps and software up to date, while NissanConnect offers access to SiriusXM Traffic and Google-based search tools. These search tools, such as points of interest searches, help you find nearby gas stations, restaurants, parking, and more. What’s more, the system also works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing you to use your preferred mapping apps.

Security

NissanConnect comes with a range of built-in security features. One of the key features is an automatic collision notification system, which alerts emergency services if you’re ever in an accident. A stolen vehicle locator helps authorities track down your car if it’s stolen, while speed and boundary notifications can help you keep an eye on teen drivers. These handy remote features mean you can lock or unlock your car from anywhere via the app.

Entertainment and Connectivity

NissanConnect comes with a host of entertainment and connectivity features, which means you can listen to music, podcasts, or radio as you drive. It features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can connect your smartphone to make hands-free calls and messages. Bluetooth streaming means you can play your favorite music without a cable. Voice recognition features help you control your apps and settings using voice commands.

How NissanConnect Works: How to Activate NissanConnect

NissanConnect works by using your vehicle’s touch screen, the NissanConnect app, and a MyNISSAN account. Download the NissanConnect app on your smartphone to access remote features (i.e., start your engine or lock and unlock doors remotely). You can also check your vehicle health reports, which can help you keep on top of maintenance. Create a MyNISSAN account to change your preferences, set up notifications, and track your maintenance schedules. All of this is possible via a handy touch screen using the controls or voice commands.
