I would love to have the newer 2017 navigation unit in my 2011. My 2011 has navigation but I’d like the Apple CarPlay features and birds-eye cameras.

You have confirmed my old philosophy of.. If It isn't broke, don't try to upgrade... (E.G., new engines, etc)...

I didn't, but it's easy to figure out from the Nicoclub sourced service manuals (and I may even have identified the pins in one of my first few posts).
Getting the video in would be trivial - connectivity for the input is a 2-wire analog (composite video) signal like you'd get from any analog camera, and switching the input would be as simple as sending voltage along the signal pin to trick the head unit into thinking it was in reverse.

No, its only for 13-15 S trim cars.gobok said:hello, this navi swap is working on 2011 Leaf?
chumpp said:Aftermarket or not, I would just the same thing I did and use an adapter harness to turn the connector into a '15 Sentra - that is, my adapter harness and the jumped leads at the BCU just turned my car into a 15 Sentra as far as the radio is concerned - so any aftermarket head unit that's compatible with the 15 Sentra would work in my car now. If you look at the aftermarket options for a 15 Leaf on Crutchfield you'll see barely anything - but there are many more for the Sentra.
