Nissan Pathfinder 2008-2021 Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Integration Module
Factory-System Fitment Guide
Module choices: Standard is the Linux-based CarPlay/Android Auto option. Advanced+ is the Android 13 system with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. The separate 4GB/64GB Advanced option is not the same hardware as Advanced+.
Module pricing: Standard $699.99; Advanced+ $849.99. A required or optional HD replacement-screen selection adds $100, for totals of $799.99 and $949.99 respectively.
| Year / platform | Factory configuration | Interface / screen requirement |
|---|---|---|
| 2008–2013 R51 | Analogue factory display | Standard and Advanced+ are documented as screen-and-interface packages; match the original system. |
| 2013–2016 R52 | High-resolution or analogue display | Different interfaces/packages apply; analogue systems require the matching replacement-screen package. |
| 2017–2021 R52 | Later factory infotainment | Standard and Advanced+ module interfaces are documented; an optional HD replacement screen is not automatically compatible. |
Fitment confirmation: Keep the R51 and R52 platform requirements separate. For 2017–2021 R52 installations, follow the switch-board installation note below. A screen-upgrade chart ending in 2020 does not by itself exclude the 2021 module interface.
Factory navigation, display resolution, dashboard specification and radio connections determine the correct interface. A touchscreen alone does not identify every compatible configuration. For any unconfirmed configuration, contact Nifty City with the vehicle year, market and factory-system photos before ordering.

2017–2021 Pathfinder R52 Installation Note
The 2017–2021 R52 interface uses a switch board that must be installed inside the original factory screen. Confirm your factory navigation, display and input connections with Nifty City before ordering or installation. Module compatibility does not mean the optional HD touchscreen is compatible; follow the factory-screen compatibility guidance above.
