Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in the Nissan Qashqai
Another Nissan Qashqai through the Radio King workshop in Dublin 11 for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: the factory radio was replaced with an Android touchscreen in the original dash opening, with the steering wheel controls kept. It is the same kit as our earlier Nissan Qashqai install, and it fits 2008–2012 models.
What was fitted on this Nissan Qashqai
The factory radio came out and an Android head unit went in its place, supplied as a kit for the Nissan Qashqai with the model-specific fascia and a plug-in harness, so nothing on the car was cut. This one is the 8-core, 4 GB spec with a QLED panel, the version we recommend for cars that live outdoors because the screen stays readable in direct daylight. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect the moment you get in, the steering wheel buttons are kept (through a CAN interface where the car needs one), and the unit has a reverse camera input and built-in GPS with offline maps for the roads where coverage disappears.
- Apple CarPlay & Android Auto — Wireless smartphone mirroring for maps, calls and media.

- Navigation — Google Maps and Waze on the big screen.
Will it fit your Nissan Qashqai?
The kit fits 2008–2012 Nissan Qashqai models. Trim levels, factory amplifiers and the shape of the dash opening changed across model years, so the quickest check is a photo of your dashboard and steering wheel sent on WhatsApp with the registration. We confirm the exact kit, and whether a steering wheel interface or an amplifier adapter is needed, before you book. The same kit is in the shop as the Nissan Qashqai Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Radio, supply-only or with fitting added at checkout. The earlier Nissan Qashqai install shows the same unit in the same dash.
Price and fitting in Dublin
The current price of the Nissan Qashqai Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Radio is on its product page, with the 2 GB IPS and 4 GB QLED specs side by side. Fitting at our workshop in Dublin 11 is added at checkout and usually takes a couple of hours, so the car is back with you the same day, with the phone paired and everything tested in the car. Every unit carries a one-year warranty and after-sale support from the people who installed it. Supply-only orders ship anywhere in Ireland.
