Nissan Navara D23 Series - STX trim model

Interestingly, the D23 Navara did not adopt the same head unit or infotainment setup as the Pathfinder, unlike the previous D40 generation. Instead, it shares the same infotainment system found in the Qashqai and X-Trail models.

The ST-X trim in particular is equipped with the same navigation display and 360° camera system as the Qashqai and X-Trail TI trim models, making it fully compatible with our CarPlay and Android Auto integration

360° Camera Functionality

Many customers worry that installing our product or any aftermarket part, might disable the factory 360° camera feature.

With our integration system, this is not the case. Because we do not remove or replace the factory head unit, the 360° camera continues to function as normal. The head unit itself controls the entire park assist setup, so there is no interruption.

In contrast, replacing the head unit almost always results in losing this feature, there’s a 99% chance the 360° camera will no longer work.

Our product fully retains the camera function, as it does not interfere with or remove any of the car’s existing components during installation

Sound Integration - Bluetooth audio

Enhanced Audio Performance

The system works seamlessly with your Evoque’s original audio setup, delivering superior sound quality.

Enjoy crystal-clear music playback without AUX noise or delays, and make phone calls that are completely echo-free.

By using Bluetooth media, the system ensures clear, premium-quality sound every time

Engaging CarPlay / Android Auto

It uses the HANG UP button on the steering wheel to switch the display mode.

Pressing it once will still perform the normal function of ending a call, while pressing and holding it for 2 seconds will trigger our product’s additional role of switching the screen

The volume and track buttons will continue to work when our SWC Adapter is fitted with the CarPlay / Android Auto unit. Even without the adapter, the volume and phone call buttons will still function as normal.

The cruise control buttons remain unaffected, as they are not connected to the audio system in the first place

The touch panel on this type of head unit is resistive, so it won’t deliver the same smooth and responsive feel as a modern smartphone. That said, it performs reliably when operating CarPlay / Android Auto.

It’s not a Full HD display like those found in a Tesla or the upcoming Mercedes S-Class, but it is certainly high-quality enough for everyday use in your pride and joy.
