Add Android Auto on my 2018 Maxima

Hi everyone,

As you may know, the 2018 Maxima comes with apple car play and android auto. For some odd reason, maxima's on Saudi Arabia does not come with this feature, it's so frustrating that I own a 2018 Maxima and not have car play or android auto! And it's not like as if car play and android auto are not supported in the country, many other cars dose have car play and android auto with no problems I have no idea why I don't have it in my maxima. I contacted my local dealer with no luck.

My question is since obviously the car can support car play and android auto is there anything I can do to add them? At least Android auto as this is what I'm going be using.

You're probably missing the Nissan SD card. It's VIN specific. Let me know if you are indeed missing the SD card, and then I can help you find the correct part.

An SD card does exist in there, I believe it has the map which other than it's outdated it has no problems.
Could it be that it's just missing Android Auto files issue?

Are you using an updated phone running Android 5.0 (Lollypop) or later? This is the requirement for AA to work in the car.

Yes, Galaxy S8+ Android 9.
Neither Apple car play or AA work with their respective devices so I'm pretty sure it's not a phone issue.
