2016 Nissan Murano. I was skeptical, but it works. The website didn’t work for me, but it got me in email contact with their guy and through emails he walked me through it. Took me about a week, because i am not very tech savvy, but i eventually got it. Also, it didn’t work on my iMAC, but it did on my old HP.

Actually that’s wrong. I have a 2017.5 Marano and they did not add both CarPlay and Andrew auto. All they had was Apple CarPlay. It wasn’t until the 2018 model that they had android auto.
This may be just what we were looking for. Question: How does this affect button functionality? For instance, the Camera, Tune/Scroll, and Volume buttons?

Thank you very much for putting this tech and your experience with it out there. My only question is if your phone connects wirelessly to the headunit to control Carplay/Auto? I know using the Aux connection doesn't have enough juice to charge the phone while connected, so I'm hoping the phone doesn't need to be hooked up to that to use this.

Hi tech winner, thanks for this video. I bought the download and it’s working great, no regrets. My question is: is there a wireless connection for it that you are aware of that works with the Xanavi system? Thank you.
This is great - I have a 2016 Murano, and the factory version of their MMI is totally discombobulated. Fonts, colors, GIF, are all different, things hiding off the screen when you scroll, it is just poor software design. Giving the Xanavi guys a call tonight

Awesome! I just bought, but the instructions using a Mac are confusing. Is it as simple as dragging the files into the formatted SD card? Trying to find out before I try the install. This is super helpful- thx for the video.
At this point, I'm a bit fuzzy on what I did (I'm sorry, this was almost a year and a half ago). I seem to remember that just dragging the files won't work, because they're also being converted to a file format that the car can understand. I'm primarily a Mac user as well, but ended up blowing the dust off of an old Windows machine to do this. I'm sorry that I can't be more help. I will say that the guy I interacted with at Xanavi was very helpful!
@@TechWinnerCC he just got back to me- I think I found the solution- my SD card went corrupt after I tried reformatting it as my own means of troubleshooting. I was trying to copy the images of the download file instead of the .img file itself. Silly, but now I’ll get a new card and fingers crossed it works this time on the Mac. Don’t have access to windows easily. I grew tho- good communication of the company and you too! Thx again.
It's been a few weeks, have you had any issues with it? Software crashes or anything? How is the responsiveness of carplay on this display? My wife has a 2015 Murano and I have an early 2017 Murano just before the car play update was added. My friend got a 2021 Rogue yesterday and his car play works great. Thinking about doing this to our cars now. Thanks!
I'm a few weeks in now, and I'd say that it's been working GREAT! The screen is very responsive, so no complaints there. The only quirk I'd mention is that sometimes after I've started the car, I have to unplug my phone and plug it back in to get Carplay to begin working. Not a huge quirk for me, and it could just as easily be a lightning cable problem as it is the software. I haven't taken the time to try a different cable because it hasn't been a big deal to me, but worth at least mentioning.
@@TechWinnerCC Got it thanks! I reached out to them via Facebook for a price. We're still trying to decide if it's worth the upgrade. Maybe we'll get a deal for doing 2 cars at once.
I was wondering this too. Follow up question: does this impact native Bluetooth functionality? Also, can you confirm whether or not the sd card needs to stay in the slot forever in order for it to work? I was wondering if it acted just like those old install CDs that are ejected after software gets installed. Thx in advance for clarifying this, I’ve been wanting CarPlay on my 2016 Murano for awhile
@abunaionnanoko59 I think you’ve asked the SD card question in a couple of places. Leave it in. You have no reason to remove it. As far as Bluetooth, I haven’t had a reason to test it. CarPlay supersedes the need for it in my opinion.
I was not able to open the link they sent me to download. It requires a subscription for an additional $50. I'm requesting a refund so let's hope I get my money back.
Thanks for the video! I did it today on my 2017 Maxima SV which had carplay but not android auto which I really wanted. The response times for me were not quite as quick even when I emailed him back right away. I have noticed that the volume of the parking sensors has changed to full volume which is irritating.
@@inin725 I don't know what he's talking about. I installed it yesterday with a sine paper of instructions. The. Correspondent was available on whatsapp but he wasn't needed. I have android auto which I been using without problems so far. Apple car play is available but I'm an android guy.
Just to follow-up for android auto users, I installed it and everything seemed good except the infotainment system freezes after receiving a call. It will stay frozen for over 5 minutes. Nothing will work. The car audio will become mute as if the phone call is in progress well after the call is over until ultimately the system freezes, hangs, and eventually resets.

Thank you for your share. I seen this video several months ago and now I’m interested in doing this too. Can you please provide me the steps and other information so I can do this too?
I want to purchase the software, but when I placed the order it will not go through. I see others were able to purchase. Can you check or I must be during something wrong. Help!!
Can you confirm if anyone has reported using a successful wireless adapter for the 2016 Nissan Murano xanavi Carplay configuration that's a non-factory build? I got one online but it was not compatible hoping someone else had success with a wireless adaptor?
Personally, I have not had any luck getting a wireless adapter to work. I’ve heard from others who have had a similar experience. Sorry, I wish I had better news for you.
Hi! Thanks for this info, been looking everywhere! Just a quick question. The software download onto the card, does that include a maps update? I just want to make sure that my gps will still function without my phone.
No. It’s not that simple at all. The OEM SD Cards just have maps on them. You can’t take an SD card from a newer head unit, put it in a 15-17.5 head unit and expect this result.
I just bought as used 2017 Rogue SL. It really bums me out, with all the technology these days, that they haven't come up with something to be able to make use of the "infotainment" aspect with my android phone. It has the Google and Facebook screen, but when I push it it says remove and replace SD card. There's no SD card in it! Could it be as simple as getting the SD card and having it programmed via Xanavii?
When I go to facebook page and click on the link..... it takes me to website but only offers for Nissan Murano Z52 2015-2018... is it the same for non electric?
Hey Techwinner, quick followup question on this firmware. I have 2017.5 Murano with Carplay but I use Android. Google is abandoning the Android Auto phone app in favor of including most of its features within Google Driving Assistant in Android 12 (which I'm running). Before I buy this, I'd like to know if the firmware will work as it did with AA app. Vlad doesn't seem to know. By chance, are you using Android 12 and can you confirm or test whether the firmware still operates same as with AA app? Thanks for the info and your help!
I seem to remember that being advised, but I didn’t do it. If your battery is healthy I don’t believe you’re at real risk of damaging anything. Running the engine is the safest way to prevent a power drop though.
I did purchase it via paypal. I get that it's a good faith move and has risk. My personal experience was great and many others that have chimed in in these comments also report that.
I don't believe any updates have been made to this particular software. I believe AA is similar to Carplay in that it's really up to your phone's OS to add any new changes/enhancements to AA itself.
Hey! Is this still working as of 7/15/2022? I recently purchased a 2016 Nissan Maxima SL and obviously want to add CarPlay. Do you think there’s any chance this will crash at some point or screw up the OEM software? I just don’t want to brick my system if something goes wrong you know. Thanks!
Still working perfectly. I didn’t go into detail on the video, but “rolling back” to the OEM software is as simple as removing the SD card that’s storing the new software.
Over a year ago someone posted on their Facebook webpage that their head unit reboots occasionally with the new firmware. Have you noticed any reboots? Thx
@@TechWinnerCCjust finally pulled the plug and bought it on sale. Waiting on SanDisk 32GB Card from Amazon, note there is a sale going on now as I post this too. I read the directions I assume the file you send them you overwrite the original file once sent back?
@@TechWinnerCC great thanks, downloading the image file now so it's ready when you card arrives. Saw you mentioned the was the longest part and ya the host site is a SLOW download for sure.
hello I would like to know if it works with murano 2015 I live in Quebec, because according to the information it says usa, Eu, Korea. and how much does it cost approximately? Thanks a lot
I’m not certain of they have a CA-FR version of that’s what you’re asking. I would advise you to contact Xanavi to confirm. I’m just a customer as well. :) I don’t think the US version includes CA maps. That might not matter to you if you’re using CarPlay/Android Auto. The price is currently $300USD.
Does the update also provide the newest factory maps possible or just the CarPlay feature? I’m wondering how things will work for the times you’re driving and you lose cellphone reception
I believe the maps are newer, but I’m not certain on the actual dates. Honestly, I hate the native map UI so much that I never use it. If I were somewhere out of cell range, I’d just use Google maps. I have large portions of my region downloaded for offline use just for this scenario. Xanavi should be able to confirm the particular release date for the built in maps.
I bought a used 2015 murano a year ago and paid ($109 on sale) for the official navteq maps update sd card. It's a waste of money. You'd think there'd be new road segments or poi's or some ui updates. Maybe. But the navi still sux. We bought a 2017 subaru outback a few months later also. Their nav is just as bad. Maybe worse. But sub's update was smooth and less than 10 mins the nissan was this constant back n forth for like 45 mins. The battery got drained running in ON/ACC mode all that time and, (suprise) my alternator died a few days later.
Yeah, generally speaking car makers aren’t great at making navigation interfaces. In newer cars, they’ve all wised up to just deferring to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. I see built in navigation as a stop gap to a problem that ultimately Apple and Google solved.
there is homebutton missing on the screen and also how do you activate siri?? am sure there are more compromises and shortcuts that are missing. It's probably slower than the original as well because it goes through the SD card
Not sure what you mean about the home button. The carplay design changed in iOS 15. The control you're seeing on the lower left corner of the screen is the home button, but you're right it looks different than the old school home button. That's an Apple change, it has nothing to do with this install. Siri can be activated via either "hey siri" or the little "talking head" button on the steering wheel. As far as speed, I don't have much to compare it to, but these units aren't known for having fast storage (many have internal SD cards that are only accessible via a teardown), so I'm reluctant to say that you're giving much up going this route. On the contrary, I didn't have to deal with ripping apart my dash and spending more for new hardware, so at least for me this was the better option. Thanks for commenting!
@@TechWinnerCC thanks for explaining in detail. u re right i missed the new home button look. at this point am just concerned about the speed.am glad siri can still be activated through steering wheel. as long as its responsive as the native unit, should be good. i might buy today
Nice! I don’t use Sirius XM on a regular basis, but the preview channel works fine. I believe the issue you’ve mentioned was addressed a long time ago with the version I installed a year ago.
So I did this! Best $$ I’ve spent. Process was flawless. Great communication with seller. I have factory CarPlay and all other features work just as they did
Hi TechWinner. I am very interested in this software modification. Your video is very helpful but I do have one question. I got an SD Card but not sure I understand the initial process of getting the software to an SD Card. Are they sending you a 20-gigabyte file to your e-mail and you need to put an SD card to your laptop and transfer the file to an SD card then put the SD card into the car? Can you please explain that initial step? Thank you very much in advance and for a great video!
@@TechWinnerCC From google drive you would just transfer it to your SD card? That is all I am confused about, everything else sounds really straightforward. Appreciate your fast response. Best regards!
Not sure what you mean. I’ve only updated my Murano to enable CarPlay this one time, but it’s continuing to work after each iOS update, if that’s what you mean.
@@TechWinnerCC Ok, 1 last follow up question, their website just gives a 500 Server Error when trying to order, how do you recommend getting in touch with them?
This is just incredible. I’m not sure if the Murano I purchased is a 2017 or 2017.5 but knowing I can install CarPlay without getting a second unit is a complete game changer. Thanks for this video

Actually that’s wrong. I have a 2017.5 Marano and they did not add both CarPlay and Andrew auto. All they had was Apple CarPlay. It wasn’t until the 2018 model that they had android auto.
I'm taking the plunge now. I'll post after completion how it works. We will use android auto and SXM.
How’s everything working out?
8 months later
This may be just what we were looking for. Question: How does this affect button functionality? For instance, the Camera, Tune/Scroll, and Volume buttons?
They all still work just as you’d expect them to.
Want to get it‼️ I have a murano platinum 2015. Pleaser help me where to buy it?
I just completed on a 2015 Murano. Easy and works flawlessly thus far.
That’s awesome!
Hi i have a 2015 also and looking on getting this update aswell just wondering if the process of doing the update is complicated? Do i have to use a computer or something?
@@addersonsuarez7008 yes. Watch the video. You need a computer but it isn’t complicated
Are you experiencing any issues with phone calls after installation? I am a customer of this Xanavi software upgrade product. I installed it and everything seemed good except the infotainment system freezes after receiving a call. It will stay frozen for over 5 minutes. Nothing will work. The car audio will become mute as if the phone call is in progress well after the call is over until ultimately the system freezes, hangs, and eventually resets. I contacted the Xanavi representative on WhatsApp and I have not received any response besides " I'll look into this". I even provided a detailed video showing the exact issue. Still nothing 2 weeks later. Am I the only one experiencing this?
Thank you very much for putting this tech and your experience with it out there. My only question is if your phone connects wirelessly to the headunit to control Carplay/Auto? I know using the Aux connection doesn't have enough juice to charge the phone while connected, so I'm hoping the phone doesn't need to be hooked up to that to use this.
I have my phone connected to the aux jack. At least in my experience, it’s sending enough juice to charge my iPhone X.

@lionintu are you handling the call through CarPlay / Android Auto, or do you still have you phone paired to the car’s Bluetooth the old school way?
I want to do the same but for a 2017 rogue any idea if possible
Hi tech winner, thanks for this video. I bought the download and it’s working great, no regrets. My question is: is there a wireless connection for it that you are aware of that works with the Xanavi system?
Thank you.
Not one that I’m aware of, unfortunately.
If you use Android Auto you can buy an Motorola MA1 adapter that lets you connect wirelessly.
This is great - I have a 2016 Murano, and the factory version of their MMI is totally discombobulated. Fonts, colors, GIF, are all different, things hiding off the screen when you scroll, it is just poor software design. Giving the Xanavi guys a call tonight

Great info. I have a 2016 Nissan Rouge, I hope it works for me too!!!!!
Thanks for the feedback! Just Muranos and Maximas, as far as I know :(
Has it works?
I'm interested to know if it has worked on your 2016 Rogue
Any word on if it worked on your 2016 rouge?
Just the Murano and Maxima models.
Awesome! I just bought, but the instructions using a Mac are confusing. Is it as simple as dragging the files into the formatted SD card? Trying to find out before I try the install. This is super helpful- thx for the video.
At this point, I'm a bit fuzzy on what I did (I'm sorry, this was almost a year and a half ago). I seem to remember that just dragging the files won't work, because they're also being converted to a file format that the car can understand. I'm primarily a Mac user as well, but ended up blowing the dust off of an old Windows machine to do this. I'm sorry that I can't be more help. I will say that the guy I interacted with at Xanavi was very helpful!
@@TechWinnerCC he just got back to me- I think I found the solution- my SD card went corrupt after I tried reformatting it as my own means of troubleshooting. I was trying to copy the images of the download file instead of the .img file itself. Silly, but now I’ll get a new card and fingers crossed it works this time on the Mac. Don’t have access to windows easily. I grew tho- good communication of the company and you too! Thx again.
@@fmdonn Great!
This is great information for the Nissan world! I’ve sent them a message already, Xanavi, I’m wondering if this would work with the Rogue system?
It looks like they cover the Murano, Maxima, and Leaf.
Thanks to techwinner and xanavi. It works well for my Nissan Murrano 2017. Just tried the install today
It's been a few weeks, have you had any issues with it? Software crashes or anything? How is the responsiveness of carplay on this display? My wife has a 2015 Murano and I have an early 2017 Murano just before the car play update was added. My friend got a 2021 Rogue yesterday and his car play works great. Thinking about doing this to our cars now. Thanks!
I'm a few weeks in now, and I'd say that it's been working GREAT! The screen is very responsive, so no complaints there. The only quirk I'd mention is that sometimes after I've started the car, I have to unplug my phone and plug it back in to get Carplay to begin working. Not a huge quirk for me, and it could just as easily be a lightning cable problem as it is the software. I haven't taken the time to try a different cable because it hasn't been a big deal to me, but worth at least mentioning.
@@TechWinnerCC Got it thanks! I reached out to them via Facebook for a price. We're still trying to decide if it's worth the upgrade. Maybe we'll get a deal for doing 2 cars at once.
Awesome video. Question: how does the information get from your phone to the Carplay display? Is it via wireless Bluetooth?
No, you’ll need to be connected to the usb port in the center console for this to work. Thanks for commenting!
So this makes my car have car play through a wired connection. Can i then buy one of those wireless dongles and then make it work wirelessly?
I’m not aware of a way to make wireless work. :(
@@TechWinnerCC thats ok. Thank you!
I was wondering this too. Follow up question: does this impact native Bluetooth functionality? Also, can you confirm whether or not the sd card needs to stay in the slot forever in order for it to work? I was wondering if it acted just like those old install CDs that are ejected after software gets installed. Thx in advance for clarifying this, I’ve been wanting CarPlay on my 2016 Murano for awhile
@abunaionnanoko59 I think you’ve asked the SD card question in a couple of places. Leave it in. You have no reason to remove it. As far as Bluetooth, I haven’t had a reason to test it. CarPlay supersedes the need for it in my opinion.
I was not able to open the link they sent me to download. It requires a subscription for an additional $50. I'm requesting a refund so let's hope I get my money back.
Thanks for the video! I did it today on my 2017 Maxima SV which had carplay but not android auto which I really wanted. The response times for me were not quite as quick even when I emailed him back right away. I have noticed that the volume of the parking sensors has changed to full volume which is irritating.
Were you able to lower their volumes?
How is android auto working for you 3 months in? I'm seriously considering this.
@@beartunes Nope. Not yet. I had to turn it off.
@@inin725 I don't know what he's talking about. I installed it yesterday with a sine paper of instructions. The. Correspondent was available on whatsapp but he wasn't needed. I have android auto which I been using without problems so far. Apple car play is available but I'm an android guy.
Just to follow-up for android auto users, I installed it and everything seemed good except the infotainment system freezes after receiving a call. It will stay frozen for over 5 minutes.

What I hear you saying is that Nissan could have easily done this for all of us, but chose not to.
I mean, you’re not wrong. It’s slightly complex. Slightly. But clearly the hardware supports it. Thanks for commenting!
I emailed Xanavi days ago, they replied saying they'll email me instructions, they never replied
You checked your spam?
@@TechWinnerCC Yes I did bit nothing there. I dud receive one email that they'd contact me in 12 hours but that was days ago
Have you Used whatsapp?
Does it work with a 2020 Nissan pathfinder
Went to their site to purchase...form asks for Country of residence but doesn’t have US as option. Did you encounter this?
I worked directly with them via FB messenger.
I ran into the same thing. May try messenger
if you remember, how long after you pay do you get the file link and instructions email? been waiting 2 days now... thanks!
Thank you for your share. I seen this video several months ago and now I’m interested in doing this too. Can you please provide me the steps and other information so I can do this too?
Hi Darrel, there’s a link in the description to the Xanavi Facebook Page. I don’t work for them, I’m just a customer as well. :)
@@TechWinnerCC lol that's crazy.
?
@@TechWinnerCC that's crazy what he asked of you
One question did you still have the cameras on the screen?
Yep! All the cams still work perfectly just as they should! Thanks for commenting.
this looks like a great option have you had issues after the install. Do you lose any function of cameras . blind side assist ore any other options?
Nope. Everything still works perfectly as intended.
Nothing for the frontier huh. Got a 2019 that i would love to have that set up on.
Unfortunately no. I believe Xanavi only supports Murano, Maxima, and Leaf models at this time. Thanks for commenting!
Already installed the software, but I can find new file to send to xanavi
I want to purchase the software, but when I placed the order it will not go through. I see others were able to purchase. Can you check or I must be during something wrong. Help!!
I handled the entire transaction over Facebook Messenger and PayPal.
Great info! Thanks! How is the software performing after a year of use? Is it stable ?
I still love it. Sometimes I have to plug/unplug the cable a couple of times to get it to start. Otherwise, it’s working great!
@@TechWinnerCC which cable are you talking about? The lightning cable from your phone to the display?
@@bimaldimri8817 yes, the lightning cable.
@@TechWinnerCCI noticed that too with a 2020 Altima I rented.
Can you confirm if anyone has reported using a successful wireless adapter for the 2016 Nissan Murano xanavi Carplay configuration that's a non-factory build? I got one online but it was not compatible hoping someone else had success with a wireless adaptor?
Personally, I have not had any luck getting a wireless adapter to work. I’ve heard from others who have had a similar experience. Sorry, I wish I had better news for you.
Hi! Thanks for this info, been looking everywhere! Just a quick question. The software download onto the card, does that include a maps update? I just want to make sure that my gps will still function without my phone.
Yes, the maps are updated and working.
I don't use the maps but I can see the package I installed on the SD was dated late 2022
Good video but can I just go to the junkyard and grab the SD card out of the 2018+ and still be fine.
No. It’s not that simple at all. The OEM SD Cards just have maps on them. You can’t take an SD card from a newer head unit, put it in a 15-17.5 head unit and expect this result.
hi i have Nissan maxima 2016
will it work on it
i have been looking for update from long time
Yes, Xanavi advertises compatibility with Maximas.
They should have it for the 2020 nissan pathfindr Sv model
I just bought as used 2017 Rogue SL. It really bums me out, with all the technology these days, that they haven't come up with something to be able to make use of the "infotainment" aspect with my android phone. It has the Google and Facebook screen, but when I push it it says remove and replace SD card. There's no SD card in it! Could it be as simple as getting the SD card and having it programmed via Xanavii?
As far as I know, Xanavi only supports Muranos and Maximas :(
@@TechWinnerCC Thanks for the reply!
A year later. Are your still happy about it? Any issues?
Totally happy with it! Zero regrets
When I go to facebook page and click on the link..... it takes me to website but only offers for Nissan Murano Z52 2015-2018... is it the same for non electric?
Z52 is just code for this generation. Not sure what you mean about non-electric.
Hey Techwinner, quick followup question on this firmware. I have 2017.5 Murano with Carplay but I use Android. Google is abandoning the Android Auto phone app in favor of including most of its features within Google Driving Assistant in Android 12 (which I'm running). Before I buy this, I'd like to know if the firmware will work as it did with AA app. Vlad doesn't seem to know. By chance, are you using Android 12 and can you confirm or test whether the firmware still operates same as with AA app? Thanks for the info and your help!
Sorry, Sam. I drink the Apple kool-aid :). I don’t own any Android devices with which to test.
Quality🔥🔥🔥
I live in turkey and i recently bought nissan x-trail 2015 it goes by the name of rogue aswell. I wonder if i can use this sd card for apple carplay?
Just the Murano and Maxima, as far as I know.
Did you have your car running while the software was being installed on your head unit?
I seem to remember that being advised, but I didn’t do it. If your battery is healthy I don’t believe you’re at real risk of damaging anything. Running the engine is the safest way to prevent a power drop though.
Xanavi is asking $320 via PayPal. Is this how you purchased it?
I did purchase it via paypal. I get that it's a good faith move and has risk. My personal experience was great and many others that have chimed in in these comments also report that.
When using CarPlay maps does it show the turn by turn directions on the dash screen like the factory navigation system
No, it does not.
There's an SD card already in my murano, is it completely fine to take that out to put the new one in?
Good question. Yes, the existing SD card stores the gps maps. The new SD card will include updated GPS maps.
Did it… waiting for receiving the key file from them now…. I hope it won’t be too long.
@@olivierlazar5776 how did it work out for you
What about updates, i did installed last year , just wandering how we be able to update AA
I don't believe any updates have been made to this particular software. I believe AA is similar to Carplay in that it's really up to your phone's OS to add any new changes/enhancements to AA itself.
I have same Nissan Murano 2015 in UAE 🇦🇪 and I need to add CarPlay How you can help me to download
Contact Xanavi. I’ve put a link to their Facebook page in the description. 👍
Hey! Is this still working as of 7/15/2022? I recently purchased a 2016 Nissan Maxima SL and obviously want to add CarPlay. Do you think there’s any chance this will crash at some point or screw up the OEM software? I just don’t want to brick my system if something goes wrong you know. Thanks!
Still working perfectly. I didn’t go into detail on the video, but “rolling back” to the OEM software is as simple as removing the SD card that’s storing the new software.
@@TechWinnerCC Thanks for the reply. When paying over PayPal, did you send as Friends and Family or Goods and Services?
@@TechWinnerCC Also, do you have a social media I can DM you on to ask a little more? Thanks
@@ThexXxCoDGoDxXx feel free to contact me via the info on my about page :)
Amazing! Would this work for a 2017 nissan rogue??
Just Muranos. I believe he also has upgrade options for the Maxima, Leaf, and the Infiniti Q50. Unfortunately, nothing for the Rogue at the time.
Over a year ago someone posted on their Facebook webpage that their head unit reboots occasionally with the new firmware. Have you noticed any reboots? Thx
Never. I’ve been using it for over year. I’ve never seen it freeze or reboot.

I’m not certain of they have a CA-FR version of that’s what you’re asking. I would advise you to contact Xanavi to confirm. I’m just a customer as well. :) I don’t think the US version includes CA maps. That might not matter to you if you’re using CarPlay/Android Auto. The price is currently $300USD.
I’m having a new key programmed this coming week at the dealer….the program shouldn’t interfere with this, correct?
No, completely separate systems. You have nothing to worry about.
Thank you so much for the reply!

@@TechWinnerCC I have, they don’t know what to do they’re gonna get back to me tomorrow
Is this still for sale? Can’t get a hold
I have a 2015 marrano and I need this car play . Can you help me with links ?
Link is in the description.
My question as a Murano owner, is this wired or wireless?
Wired. I have a usb to lightning cable plugged in to the usb port in the center console, in the pocket near the cupholders.
Does the update also provide the newest factory maps possible or just the CarPlay feature? I’m wondering how things will work for the times you’re driving and you lose cellphone reception
I believe the maps are newer, but I’m not certain on the actual dates. Honestly, I hate the native map UI so much that I never use it. If I were somewhere out of cell range, I’d just use Google maps. I have large portions of my region downloaded for offline use just for this scenario. Xanavi should be able to confirm the particular release date for the built in maps.
I bought a used 2015 murano a year ago and paid ($109 on sale) for the official navteq maps update sd card. It's a waste of money. You'd think there'd be new road segments or poi's or some ui updates. Maybe. But the navi still sux. We bought a 2017 subaru outback a few months later also. Their nav is just as bad. Maybe worse. But sub's update was smooth and less than 10 mins the nissan was this constant back n forth for like 45 mins. The battery got drained running in ON/ACC mode all that time and, (suprise) my alternator died a few days later.
Yeah, generally speaking car makers aren’t great at making navigation interfaces. In newer cars, they’ve all wised up to just deferring to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. I see built in navigation as a stop gap to a problem that ultimately Apple and Google solved.
The Xanavi system works in Rouge 2017?
Muranos and Maximas only as far as I know.
Still working well???
100% yes - I'd still highly recommend it!
will this work with 2017 rogue?
there is homebutton missing on the screen and also how do you activate siri??
am sure there are more compromises and shortcuts that are missing. It's probably slower than the original as well because it goes through the SD card
Not sure what you mean about the home button. The carplay design changed in iOS 15. The control you're seeing on the lower left corner of the screen is the home button, but you're right it looks different than the old school home button. That's an Apple change, it has nothing to do with this install.
Siri can be activated via either "hey siri" or the little "talking head" button on the steering wheel.
As far as speed, I don't have much to compare it to, but these units aren't known for having fast storage (many have internal SD cards that are only accessible via a teardown), so I'm reluctant to say that you're giving much up going this route. On the contrary, I didn't have to deal with ripping apart my dash and spending more for new hardware, so at least for me this was the better option. Thanks for commenting!
@@TechWinnerCC thanks for explaining in detail. u re right i missed the new home button look. at this point am just concerned about the speed.am glad siri can still be activated through steering wheel.
as long as its responsive as the native unit, should be good. i might buy today
Hold down the talk button on steering wheel
did you communicate/order and pay via Facebook page or Xanavi website directly? maybe doesn't matter?
My communication with them happened on Facebook Messenger.
@@TechWinnerCC thanks 👍
@@TechWinnerCCone more qq pls - you ordered directly via the Xanavi website though, that right?
will I be able to connect wirelessly to Apple CarPlay?
No, I use the usb port in the center console.
i would like to activate carplay for nissan x-trail 2017 , how??
Not gonna lie, I had to Google “x-trail”. We call that the Nissan Rogue in the US. Xanavi only supports Muranos and Maximas at this time :(
Wonder if this would work on my 2015 rogue
Muranos and Maximas only, as best I can tell.
So I’m buying this ASAP for my 2016. Does your xm radio work? I read where one guy said it locked up his sxm radio?
Nice! I don’t use Sirius XM on a regular basis, but the preview channel works fine. I believe the issue you’ve mentioned was addressed a long time ago with the version I installed a year ago.
So I did this! Best $$ I’ve spent. Process was flawless. Great communication with seller. I have factory CarPlay and all other features work just as they did
Have a pint….
Will this same process work on a 2016 Nissan Rogue?
According to Xanavi, just Muranos and Maximas. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hi TechWinner. I am very interested in this software modification. Your video is very helpful but I do have one question. I got an SD Card but not sure I understand the initial process of getting the software to an SD Card. Are they sending you a 20-gigabyte file to your e-mail and you need to put an SD card to your laptop and transfer the file to an SD card then put the SD card into the car? Can you please explain that initial step? Thank you very much in advance and for a great video!
They will send you very detailed instructions on what to do. The files were sent to me via Google Drive.
@@TechWinnerCC From google drive you would just transfer it to your SD card? That is all I am confused about, everything else sounds really straightforward. Appreciate your fast response. Best regards!
Anyone updates on the current operation of the monitor after a year ?
I’ve been using this in my wife’s car for nearly two years now, and it’s still working great!
Ima do it
Did you have any problems with updates are they automatic?
Not sure what you mean. I’ve only updated my Murano to enable CarPlay this one time, but it’s continuing to work after each iOS update, if that’s what you mean.
What if u have to go back to the factory sd card would that be an issue?
Not an issue at all. I’ve put the factory card back in mine to test, and everything works exactly as before.
What about the back up cameras? 360 view, etc?
My 360 view and backup cams work perfectly.
