Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my 2014 or later Qashqai?

No, this kit is designed for the 2007-2013 Dualis (J10 generation). In 2014, Nissan renamed the Dualis to Qashqai in Australia with the J11 generation, which requires a completely different fascia kit with different dashboard architecture.

What's the difference between Dash 1 and Dash 2 configurations?

Dash configurations refer to different dashboard layouts found across trim levels and model years. This kit accommodates both Dash 1 and Dash 2 configurations found in 2007-2013 Dualis models. Check manufacturer compatibility photos to verify your specific dash type if uncertain.

Does the Bluetooth button work with all aftermarket headunits?

The SWC harness provides the Bluetooth button signal to the aftermarket headunit. However, actual functionality depends on the headunit's steering wheel control programming capabilities. Most modern headunits from Alpine, Kenwood, and Pioneer support this function.

Can I use a 10-inch headunit with this fascia?

No, this fascia is engineered exclusively for universal trapezoid 9-inch headunits. 10-inch units require different mounting dimensions and will not fit the fascia opening designed for the Dualis dashboard proportions.

What additional parts might I need for installation?

The kit includes the fascia, SWC harness, and antenna adapter. Depending on your vehicle's features and chosen headunit, you may need additional items such as a reverse camera, GPS antenna adapter, or specific CANbus interface for optimal SWC functionality.
