I have a 2018 MY Qashqai J11b Acenta with the standard (non GPS non LCD) radio.
I would like to upgrade to a newer SATNAV system.
I assume I would need a GPS antenna the main unit and some cable adapters.
Can you point out perhaps what cables exactly I will need to connect the new system and the steering wheel.
Also I will need some kind of coding right?
I tried to search the forum but never found relevant info.
thanks
J11b upgrade to infotainment SAT/NAV system

Welcome to the forum.
I can’t help other than to note that (as you have noticed) there are a number of threads on here covering this topic. Nissan don’t seem to be especially helpful in making upgrading jobs like this straightforward - I guess they want to to buy the car with the better trim, etc.
Hopefully, someone with the knowledge you require will be along soon.

Welcome to this forum.
For the benefit of others this is the setup in a 2018 Acenta - the really basic radio:
I think just one or two people might have attempted this upgrade on this forum though possibly not on a car as recent as the J11B.
My useless advice would be to sell the car and buy a higher trim level - but I suspect that option isn't on the cards...

Yes that is the car. Really not an option. Used car market is crazy. And I have it since new I wouldn’t want to sell it for a radio system. But if possible an upgrade would be nice.
That said hopefully someone will chime in.

I ended up changing my Acenta premium - because of the trim levels - thankfully the monies worked out in my favour and now I have a Tekna
