Even if it's not yet official, they should make it included in the head unit because the Android Auto apk for phone can be downloaded externally unlike iPhone, should works like other cars that have it.

The real reason after talking to people in TC HQ is that it's because the head unit comes directly from Japan, which is the same one used in Thailand thus they do not have the authority to change the head unit's firmware/software

But one thing I love is the seat rail position because my legs aren't cramped when driving unlike in a vw polo sedan and even a Toyota fortuner with the seats all the way back.

Hi Adrian, thanks for the official reviewed. Ultimately, I personally think that you have done a specific review on the Nisaan Almera turbo. What you have mentioned, that this car is fully & well equipped with safety factors like the autonomous braking throughout all the variants. I'm convinced & surprised by the Edaran Tan Chong's team for designing & equipped the safety factors to be top in the list among it's rivals. Definitely, this features will be the top selling point for the newly launched Nissan Almera 1.0 L turbo. Well, let's not to be too long winded, Adrian you have manifested in this review that you are fit to be the wapcar reviewer. Then....
