Are you tired of juggling your phone for directions or dealing with clunky infotainment systems that feel a generation behind your smartphone? Your driving experience should be simple, intuitive, and connected. Nissan is leading the charge with its revolutionary infotainment system featuring Google built-in, an elegant and integrated solution that puts the power of Google directly into your dashboard. This advanced technology is available now, and you can experience it today at Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers.
Unlike systems that simply project your phone's screen, Google built-in is a fully native system. This means that Google's powerful and familiar apps—like Google Maps and Google Assistant—run directly on your Nissan's own advanced hardware. Think of it as giving your car its own built-in smartphone, displayed on a stunning and responsive 12.3-inch or 14.3-inch HD touchscreen.
Because the system isn't relying on your phone's processing power or cell signal, you get a faster, more reliable, and more seamless experience without ever needing to plug in your phone for core functions. It's the most advanced and user-friendly Nissan infotainment system to date, and you can find this incredible feature in the latest Nissan models right here in our showroom.

Imagine being able to manage your navigation, communication, and cabin comfort without ever taking your hands off the steering wheel. That is the power of Google Assistant in your Nissan. It uses advanced natural language understanding, so you don't have to memorize clunky, specific commands. Just talk to your car like you would talk to a person, and let Google Assistant handle the rest.
Whether you're commuting on I-465 or planning a day out, your voice is all you need. You can:
By handling these tasks with simple voice commands, Google Assistant is more than just a convenience—it's a crucial safety feature. It allows you to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road, creating a more focused and secure driving environment for you and your passengers.
With Google Maps running as your Nissan's native navigation system, the stress of finding your way is a thing of the past. Displayed in stunning high-definition on your vehicle's touchscreen, it offers a powerful and familiar interface that is always ready for the road ahead.
The advantages are immediately clear. Unlike old systems that required periodic, manual updates, your maps are always current, connected directly to Google's latest data. This provides best-in-class, real-time traffic information, allowing your Nissan to proactively re-route you around accidents or construction on I-69 to save you time.
The most convenient feature is the deep personalization. Log in once with your Google account, and your entire world of saved locations comes with you. All your favorite spots, from "Home" and "Work" to that restaurant you saved on your computer last week, are instantly available on your car's screen. There's no more need to fumble with your phone or manually type in addresses you use every day. It's a truly seamless navigation experience designed for your life.
Turn your Nissan's cabin into your personal concert hall or library with direct access to the Google Play Store. You can download a curated selection of your favorite audio and media apps directly to the vehicle's infotainment system, personalizing your ride like never before.
Access popular streaming services like Spotify and YouTube Music for endless playlists, or catch up on the latest bestseller or podcast with apps like Audible.
The ultimate convenience is leaving your phone in your pocket. There's no more fumbling to launch a music app before you pull out of the driveway or trying to switch podcasts from a small screen. Your entertainment is ready to go, integrated seamlessly into the large touchscreen and controllable with your voice through Google Assistant. It's all your favorite content, made simple and safe for the road.
This is a fantastic question and a common point of confusion. First, it's important to know that for drivers who love their interface, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are still standard features on Nissan models equipped with Google built-in. You always have the choice.
The key difference lies in how the systems work. Think of Apple CarPlay® as a system that projects a simplified version of your iPhone's screen onto your Nissan's display. It's using your phone's apps, your phone's processing power, and your phone's data connection to function.
In contrast, Google built-in is the vehicle's own native operating system. The apps, like Google Maps and Spotify, run directly on the car's powerful internal hardware using the car's own data connection. This creates a faster, more reliable, and more deeply integrated experience that doesn't depend on your phone being plugged in, charged, or even having a good signal. It transforms the system from a simple screen mirror into the car's own smart device.
When you're exploring vehicles with advanced technology like Google built-in, you need a dealership that can do more than just hand you the keys. As the premier Nissan dealer in Fishers, serving the greater Indianapolis area including Carmel, Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers provides an experience that matches the sophistication of the vehicles we sell.
Reading about this technology is one thing, but experiencing the seamless convenience of Google built-in is another. The best way to truly appreciate how this system can transform your daily drive is to see it in person.
We invite you to visit our showroom at Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers. A member of our knowledgeable team will be happy to give you a personalized demonstration, answer your questions, and let you experience firsthand how easy and intuitive it is to use. Come see the future of driving, today.
Schedule a Test DriveWhile both are Google products, Android Auto™ is a system that projects apps from your compatible smartphone onto the car's screen. Google built-in is the car's own native operating system, meaning the apps run directly on the car's hardware for a faster, more integrated experience, without needing your phone connected for core functions.
For the 2025 model year, Google built-in is available on the higher trim levels of Nissan's newest SUVs: the Nissan Rogue (SL and Platinum trims), the all-new Nissan Murano (SL and higher trims), and the all-new Nissan Armada (SL and higher trims).
No. Once you are logged into your accounts on the vehicle's system, apps like Google Maps and Spotify run natively using the car's own data connection. You can leave your phone in your pocket or on the wireless charger and still have full access.
No, it does not. The system's connectivity is powered by the vehicle's built-in modem through a NissanConnect® Services subscription. New vehicle purchases at Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers include a complimentary trial period for this service.
As of the 2025 model year, the Google built-in system is exclusively available on the Rogue, Murano, and Armada. Nissan is expected to expand this technology to other models in the future, and our team can provide you with the latest updates.
Absolutely. You have two great options: you can still connect your phone and use the standard wireless Apple CarPlay® interface if you prefer. Alternatively, you can simply log in with a Google account on the car's native system to use all the built-in features, even while your iPhone is paired for calls.
Google built-in is a premium feature included as standard equipment on the higher trim levels of these models, specifically the SL and Platinum grades. Our team can help you find the exact model that has the features you're looking for.
The Google built-in software itself does not require a subscription. However, the live services that power it—like real-time traffic, voice commands, and app downloads—require a data connection through a NissanConnect® Services plan after the initial complimentary trial period ends.
If you choose not to subscribe after the trial, features that require a live data connection (like native Google Maps traffic, Google Assistant, or streaming from apps on Google Play) will no longer function. However, offline functions and phone projection systems like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ will still work.
You can download a curated selection of automotive-safe media apps. This primarily includes apps for music (like Spotify and YouTube Music), podcasts, and audiobooks (like Audible), allowing you to customize your listening experience directly from your dashboard.
Yes. This is a key benefit of the deep integration. You can use voice commands like, "Hey Google, set the temperature to 70 degrees," to control cabin comfort hands-free.
While Google Maps is the native, built-in navigation app, you still have the flexibility to use other apps. You can simply connect your smartphone and project Waze onto the screen using the standard Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ feature.
Unfortunately, no. The Google built-in system relies on specific new processing hardware and screen technology built into the 2024 and newer models that feature it. It cannot be added to older vehicles via a software update.
The setup is a simple, on-screen login process, just like on a new phone or tablet. When you purchase your vehicle from us, our team at Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers will be happy to walk you through the entire setup process to ensure you're comfortable with the system before you drive off the lot.
You can schedule a personalized demonstration and test drive right here at Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers! We are conveniently located to serve the entire Indianapolis area, and our team is ready to show you how this incredible technology works in person.
Yes, it does. The completely redesigned 2026 Nissan LEAF, which has been reimagined as a sleek electric crossover, will be the latest Nissan model to feature the Google built-in system. It will be available on the SV+ and PLATINUM+ trims, showcased on stunning dual 14.3-inch HD screens, making it one of the most technologically advanced EVs in its class.
