NISSAN 4G WIFI
In easy-to-understand terms, the 4G WiFi accessory kit turns your customer’s vehicle into a roving hotspot. Essentially, it’s an internet router that uses signal from cellular phone tower antennas to transmit and receive information. It works while the vehicle is stationary or moving.
Currently, this dealer-installed accessory is available (or soon will be) for the following models:
This kit is applicable to all of the grade levels on each of these models.
NOTE: The WiFi signal ranges 50 to 100 feet from the vehicle. Range varies depending on the surrounding interference and obstructions in the signal path.
The NISSAN 4G WIFI is powered by AUTONET™ MOBILE and can connect up to five devices if those devices are compatible WiFi-enabled, i.e., smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, etc.
After installation of the kit, the customer will need a data plan subscription in force to be able to connect and browse the internet. Autonet Mobile, Inc. is an independent internet service currently available in the continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii. With Autonet Mobile’s TRU Technology, customers can experience a seamless connection regardless of if they are stationary or traveling. TRU Technology manages data as users travel between cell towers, eliminating dropped connections. The WiFi and app services for the connected vehicles are available 24/7 in and around their vehicles with WPA/WPA2 support that keeps the connection safe.
Access vehicle apps on smartphones and other web-enabled devices.
Nissan WiFi and Apps Services requires compatible cellular network provided by Autonet, navigation map data, and GPS satellite signal receptions, the absence of which can limit or prevent the ability of the Nissan Wi Fi and Apps Services.

WIFI TEST
TEST THE WIFI ROUTER TO BE SURE IT IS WORKING.
1. Turn the ignition to the ACC position to power up the WiFi module. Wait 3 minutes.

3. Open your browser and the NISSAN WIFI AND APPS screen (left) should appear.
4. Click the LOGIN button. If the Autonet screen (right) appears showing no signal while trying to log in, there is insufficient cell tower signal. The vehicle may have to be moved outside for better reception.
5. If you are unable to see the “Autonet-XXXX” in the wireless network list:
6. After pressing the LOGIN button the following window will open, and the WiFi module is now in communication with the cell tower. Installation is complete.
7. The test verifies data communication via network/telecommunication is working by prompting the user to fill out a service agreement.
8. If the service agreement does NOT pop up, the telecommunication (WiFi/network) is not working.
9. After verifying the WiFi network is operating properly, place the Activation Guide and glove box brochure in the glove box.
