There is hope as Hyundai announced that they are releasing an update to expand to additional Hyundai vehicles. So hopefully Nissan will follow once out.

And if they don't, I'll swap out the entire damn system!

I wouldn't mind Apple Carplay being added to my car. However if they don't, it won't bother me too much as I can do pretty much all the things I need the way it's setup now: play music, receive phone calls, send/receive texts via SIRI, send/receive phone calls through BT.

You need to ask to file a formal complaint. Which is what I did.

update to follow
Just received a nice phone call from nissan customer service over my email i sent for car play. After a little complaining about not having up to date maps or an option for car play. They offered me a service and parts credit, so i will wait and see if its a true credit as there is a 4 to 6 weeks lead time to receive it. So it pays to complain lol.

From Nissan:
Thank you for contacting Nissan North America regarding your concern with your 2016 Nissan Maxima. We apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused you.
In reference to your inquiry, there is no upgrade available at this time. Although the IT system look similar to past model years the upgrade to CarPlay is more than just a firmware update.
The upgrade would require:
1. New Head Unit
2. New Map Lamp with HD microphone
3. New USB port
4. Several WIRING Harnesses to accommodate new H/U, USB and HD microphone
Be advised that a review of our system indicates the vehicle with the Vehicle Identification Number listed above is involved in the campaign as follows:
2013-16 - Maxima, Altima, Rogue, Murano OCS Reprogram
Please contact your Nissan Dealer for an appointment to have the campaign repairs performed on your vehicle. These repairs are free of charge to you.

Meh...i'm good with the way the car is now. It does everything I need and BT plays all my music wirelessly and receive my messages on the vehicle. Due to having apple watch and iPhone, i can simply use the voice command (as it would be done anyway on Car Play) to make calls, texts or play songs through my existing system.

I'm not understanding. Was this an email from Nissan back to you?
It appears they say the upgrade is not available but then go on to outline contacting Nissan to schedule an appointment? And further detail that its free.
I find the list of items needed for the upgrade hard to believe. Considering Hyundai was able to do this as an OTA upgrade.

I got my recall taken care of and also asked to see if the new head unit was on sale yet. At this point it wasn't listed probably due to the fact they have't released the 2017 Maximas yet, but when they do I am sure it will then be available.

I'm not familiar with the issue you're talking about. Would you mind detailing?

I still think that the more we complain, they might change their mind. We gotta keep complaining. I've been trying to post to the Nissan Facebook page. I don't have any other social media like Twitter or or snapchat, etc... If anyone can post complaints on how Nissan is only upgrading to Apple car play because of how horrible Nissan Connect is and leaving all the 1st year 8th gen Maxima owners behind... Maybe they'll finally do something.
