Default Deciding on 2017 NX turbo Nav or no Nav

I am looking to buy a 2017 NX Turbo. I like the base model as I don't think the Nav is going to be useful (gets poor reviews like most car Nava) and I use the Waze app on my phone for any Navigation. I do want to make sure the car is equipped for options down the road where I could possibly display waze or the iPhone map on my screen. Does anyone know if I would have to have the model with the Nav screen so it could display that or does the base model screen run apps? Any insight on running apps on the car is appreciated.
Also, do all models read texts out loud? And can you recite texts back?
thanks!

you're trying to mirror your phone screen? Can't do that with any NX model.

No. 2016 doesn't have that capability.

Only 2017 MY

Default Thanks!

Ah, ok thanks.
How does the texting work? Does it read texts and recite them back? Appreciate the help!

Apple iPhones can compose texts using Siri Eyes Free and read Texts and compose
responses hands free but not do E-Mails.

Android phones can read both texts and emails but not compose. If you get
OK Google and touch the phone button you can then dictate a message.
