1 - There is a button with a picture of a person sitting with an arrow going over his head, I have no idea what it does.
I know absolutely nothing about Nissans, but my guesses are as follows:
Press the button to recline the seat/s
Press the button if the front passenger seat is reclined or folded, to disable the passenger airbag (eg. if you had the seat folded flat for large cargo)
Press the button to allow you to remove or fold the headrests (eg. it unlocks them)
See if you can swap out only the radio part and leave the screen somehow connected to the cameras…
If your vehicle is like my Tiida, the camera voltage isn’t compatible with NZ compatible head units (that’s what my dealer told me), so leaving the reverse camera and kerb cam to the factory screen should be the best compromise…mine now has a blank in place of the screen but the new head unit does have support for 2 cameras but the lines don’t move while reversing and it’s so hard to activate the kerb cam, not to mention the lines on the kerb cam don’t make sense
Then the radio part can be replaced with any head unit with Apple Carplay and Android Auto and you’re all set!
I replaced the head unit on my Nissan because I had found band expanders were crap. However, while I now have excellent radio, I have lost the useful lines on the reversing camera, and the picture on the reversing camera looks saturated and mushy. If you replace the head unit, you'll likely lose updatable maps too. OK, yes, my head was cheap, and maybe expensive ones with android or istuff work better. Look into it deeply and make sure you'll get all that you want.
On my previous car, I stuck stickers on the Japanese-language buttons, which was quite a lot cheaper. And used a Garmin for maps.
