Cheers!

My 2018-Kicks headunit reboots all the time during Bluetooth playback, happens only with iPhone (Android is fine).

I found a service bulletin for that specific problem NTB20-016a, I am in Canada, went to a dealer to update the firmware, they want 150 CAD for the system update!

Amazing! Aren't firmware updates to fix a problem supposed be free?

Call another dealer see what they say. You can also call the Nissan Corporate Office. Are you in Toronto? It should be free
I live in St. Johns, Newfoundland, small town on an island, only one Nissan Dealer here, oneilnissan.com.

I also called Nissan's 800-Customer Care Line. Basically, both dealer and hotline said the same: the car is out of warranty now, so $150+tax for a headunit firmware update.

P.S. As a matter of fact, agent on Customer Care line was not happy that I found service bulletin for that specific problem, said that this information is only for Nissan's Service internal use. :)
That's not the way to treat a Customer as you might not buy another Nissan again. I'm in Toronto. I'll ask around maybe there's a workaround for updating the Firmware
Try also rebooting the Headunit. Check the owner's manual for this
Rebooting does not help, apparently it is a firmware glitch.
I did not catch this earlier, I was always on Android, switched to iPhone only recently.
Very frustrated how Nissan decided to handle this :-(
Agreed. They should be making this update for no charge! This is how you loose customer's trust and confidence
I don't know TSB #, but this bulletin is on the USA Transportation Safety Board website, NHTSA ID Number: 10176231
