Nissan In Car Technology

All Nissan models are available with navigation; the new Nissan Hard Drive Navigation System for most cars and trucks and the older, simpler Nissan Navigation System for the Versa, Sentra and Cube. The higher-end system features both touchscreen and voice control, plus real-time weather and traffic and Zagat restaurant ratings. Base audio systems in nearly all models are behind the times when it comes to connectivity, though most key features like a USB/iPod port and Bluetooth phone/streaming audio are optional. The youth-oriented Juke gets Nissan's attractive new I-CON integrated infotainment and driving control system.
