No more wires or waiting for your phone to pair via Bluetooth: plan your route with the Google Maps or NissanConnect Services apps, then send it directly to your Nissan.
With multiple profiles available through your in-car screen, all your apps, accounts and driver preferences are ready to go as soon as you arrive.
Multi-user profiles allow each driver to enjoy a personalised experience every time they enter the vehicle. The car can remember individual settings such as navigation favourites, connected phones, media preferences, Google Account settings, and downloaded Google Play apps, making every journey more convenient.
Google built-in makes use of the in-car Wi-Fi in your Nissan, available for free for 5 years, and as an optional add-on thereafter.
No, a Google Account is not needed to use Google built-in itself, but you do need to be connected to your Google Account to enjoy certain apps, such as using Gemini when available, unlocking personalised Google Maps, and accessing the Google Play Store in the car.
Discover the full potential of Google Maps when built into your Nissan.
Your Nissan displays navigation info from Google Maps right where you need it, across your centre console and instrument cluster.
Using your car’s data, Google Maps proactively suggests charging stops based on predicted charge level, which update in real time as your journey evolves.
Gemini(2) is now rolling out gradually to Nissan vehicles with Google built-in as an opt-in upgrade to Google Assistant, so you can currently choose between using Gemini or Google Assistant. You'll need to be signed into a Google Account to use Gemini. Over time, Gemini will fully replace Google Assistant, delivering a more complete experience.
Gemini offers a more natural, conversational experience, but some features are still evolving. Some Google Assistant functions, such as smart-home controls and certain vehicle commands, may not yet be available. New features and offers will arrive gradually, and we’ll keep you informed when they become available. Please note: to use Gemini, you’ll need to signed into your Google Account.
Google Maps' in-car route planner makes every journey easier by automatically planning your route and charging stops. Simply say, "Hey Google, navigate to [destination]," and the system will guide you there. If charging is required, it can suggest suitable charging stops, estimate your battery level on arrival, and pre-condition the battery before you reach the charger to help achieve faster charging speeds.
The list of things that your phone can do that your Nissan can’t grows ever shorter.

Google Gemini can summarise and read your incoming messages so you can respond with context and confidence. Gemini understands natural language, making it easy to draft, edit, or even translate your texts all without touching your phone.
The full app library is best explored directly through your Nissan. Google built-in offers a richer selection of apps than Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, with some apps created especially for Nissan vehicles, such as Bento and Nissan Deals.
