although the Canadian car does not get built-in nav, the nav mapping you use on Android or Apple phones can be displayed on the centre IP behind the steering wheel, not only on the infotainment display

Amazing! I was really hoping for this as it's quite new and rare. We should get the same down under.

Just a further comment on the black behind the rear view mirror I mentioned earlier. I have since looked at a few interior videos and see that the issue from a driver's POV may not be nearly as concerning as it seemed from an outside view. The black I was seeing is not on the windshield itself, it is a boxed sensor module hanging down right behind the mirror and mostly obscured by it. I don't think it will appreciably reduce the visibility.

The sales manager at my dealer of record told me there are other Nissan vehicles that can do this now.

Afaik no Nissans currently offer this. They show basic audio information but not full dual-screen Carplay.
I've hired a new VW (Tiguan) with it, other than that Audi and BMW have implemented it on selected models.

I've posted a query for Dan on this, not that we will ever get a response.

My wife has a '21 Rogue (not the Platinum trim, though). I'm going to pull out the owner's manual this weekend and see if her's has it.

Online is always an option as well - https://www.nissanusa.com/owners/ownership/manuals-guides.html

If I have time to comb through today, I will, unless someone else does?

Alas, my wife's Rogue doesn't have the digital dash, so I can't verify anything. The online owners manual says navigation data can be displayed on the digital dash, but I could not find a specific mention on displaying maps using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

• the 8" infotainment screen is sharp, I had the Nissan rep turn on the backup camera view and it was good and crisp

How did the infotainment feel? In the video it looked a little laggy.

On second thought, it didn't look that bad.

Y'all need to be happy we even got Android Auto lol

Hey, I'm just happy it's offered with 3 pedals and an engine that goes suck > squeeze > bang > blow. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake.

So, it'd be weird if the IP could display AA or AC maps, because that'd mean it'd probably also be able to display any AA or AC screen......

Yeah it's no different than CarPlay on the infotainment screen, both can display separate (and split) screens.

I'm wondering if the sale's manager is mistaken as this feature would have been worth advertising.

I would LOVE that. The more I can stay focused on the road with minimal distraction and maximum driving, the better. And there's still a lot that's yet to be determined on this car, so it remains possible...

I guess my only question then becomes, I can tell how you'd scroll up/down (wheel on the left arm of steering wheel) but toggling left/right? maybe it just cycles through screens? Or perhaps the buttons to left/right of wheel work for that purpose?

So this actually doesn't work on any Audi other then TT & R8 models, as neither have the infotainment screen in the center, but rather just the digital dash. Coding wise its possible, but it hasn't been figured yet.
