Sorry but I'm guessing most of us are from the Americas and know zilch about Middle East Maximas. Maybe someone will come along who can pitch in.

No, it won't work... You don't have the wiring harness in your USB port so your existing USB port won't work with the newer head unit. Nissan has a strange way of screwing people over who are willing to pay to use the updates from newer cars on previous models. If it's anything like the 2017 and 2018 Altima, it won't be plug and play.
