No Nissan Connect in the 2015 Z, not even in the loaded models. I have it in the 2015 Murano Platinum Limited (loaded), and all it does is put social media (ie. Facebook, Twitter) and audio apps (ie. Pandora, iHeartRadio) on the screen. With a paid subscription on the Murano you can track the vehicle's location and be a helicopter parent, and it might let you know someone is near the vehicle, but I understand it will not use the cameras which show a full surround view of the Murano--after all, that could be useful, especially if the phone application allowed video recording. Mostly it's useless to those who can afford a premium vehicle, even with the top tier subscription.

The media features are available without the Nissan Connect app by pairing a Bluetooth phone as a phone and audio device. Make calls, play music, all through the standard Bluetooth interface.

In short, my Murano is loaded with all the available packages and I still find Nissan Connect useless as the driver, who it is supposed to aide. If I were the passenger I would find it less convenient than using a phone and the driver would be annoyed by me leaning over and tapping the screen. It might make a Facebook check-in more convenient at a restaurant when arriving so your friends know that you just pulled up. It probably makes Pandora more convenient to use. I don't happen to use either of those.

The Z doesn't support Nissan Connect. No real loss there.
