Hey everyone.
Just brought home my new to me 2021 Kicks SR. So far I love it! I was nervous of the power but she seems to get around just fine :)
I was wondering though. Does anyone know if the ambient lighting can be added to the car aftermarket?
it’s the only thing my car doesn’t have that I wish it did.
oh! Also! Can the 2021 SR be used withThe Nissan connect app?

Welcome to the forum! Congratulations on your New Ride. I think you should be able to use Nissan Connect App as this is the Top of the line model. Don't forget to take Advantage of the Satellite radio. Enjoy your new ride!

I've got 12K miles on my 2019. When it's super hot/muggy and you have the A/C on full, it really makes a difference in power. Most of the time, it's perfectly fine.

You CAN install the ambient lighting yourself. It's quite a project. Here's a link to the instructions.

The Ambient lighting isn't worth the money... trust me :)
It you still want it, the ambient lighting is a dealer installed option and can be done at the stealership. Nissan Connect. The first option I disabled on my wife's Kicks SR is Nissan Connect. My wife is a school teacher, last month at the end of the work day when she got to the car it was running, the fuel tank was down 1/4 tank. The engine had to be running for several hours. Nissan Connect was hacked. I called Nissan to not only have Nissan Connect disabled, but to also disable the data service to the car. Do a search with your favorite search engine.
Nissan Connect has been hacked multiple times. I am a system engineer, I do not trust it.

Thank you for the advice! Did not know that the Nissan Connect has been hacked. Do every model come with Nissan Connect?

I think so. It's the equivalent of GMs OnStar. The Kicks SR is the first Nissan we've owned. Here's some info regarding the security issues: TeskaLabs Blog · Security Issues in Nissan’s Mobile App, NissanConnect, Could Potentially Put Users’ Data at Risk
