Re: Potential Qashqai owner/Buying guide help

Welcome to the forum. I can’t really answer your questions, sorry. Although, note that my last QQ was an n-connecta but when I bought it from new I added heated seats and windscreen. The devil will be in the detail of the car you are looking at w.r.t. the actual spec. A good friend had a 2014 J11a d...

Re: How to reset adblue warning?

Re: 2017 Facelifted car, with SD card - downgrade headunit?

I’m not entirely sure I have heard of the system you describe. My 2014 Juke and 2017 QQ (with the wheel and connect unit you describe) both worked well using the steering wheel controls. Incidentally, I 100% prefer the controls on the steering wheel, less time looking away from the road and no reach...

You don’t say which model you have however you should be able to play music and make & receive phone calls via Bluetooth - I certainly could in my 2017 QQ

Re: Aircon turning on...

I have it running at 17.5 or 18 otherwise it can get stuffy
If it’s really cold (winter morning) I set off at 20 or 21 and turn it down when I get warm.
