Nissan Kicks and Versa Touchscreen: CAMERA vs. DISP Version, What's the Difference?

Short answer: The 7-inch touchscreen used in the 2018-2021 Nissan Kicks and 2020-2023 Nissan Versa comes in two versions that are not interchangeable, identified by the button in the top right corner of the radio. A radio with a CAMERA button uses a full-frame touchscreen assembly. A radio with a DISP button uses a glass-only digitizer. Ordering the wrong one means the part will not fit your factory radio.

Why Two Versions Exist

Nissan used more than one hardware and trim configuration across the Kicks and Versa lineup, and the button layout on the radio face is a visible marker of which configuration is installed. This isn't unique to the Kicks and Versa either. Nissan owners across other models have reported the same split, where some radios use a "Camera" button to activate the backup camera view and others use a "Disp" button that performs the same function on a different hardware version. The button label is a reliable, at-a-glance way to identify which touchscreen assembly your vehicle actually has before ordering a replacement part.

CAMERA Version vs. DISP Version: What's Actually Different

CAMERA Button (Full Frame)

• Includes the full-frame touchscreen assembly, not just the glass
• Generally an easier installation since the frame and housing are included
• Functions as a direct replacement for the front glass and surrounding housing

DISP Button (Glass Only)

• Includes the touchscreen digitizer glass only
• Requires separating the original screen assembly during installation
• Designed to match a specific factory radio configuration

These two versions are not interchangeable. A CAMERA-button radio will not accept a DISP-only glass replacement, and a DISP-button radio does not use the full-frame CAMERA assembly. Ordering by vehicle year alone is not enough. You have to confirm which button your radio actually has.

How to Confirm Which Version You Need

1. Look at the top right corner of your radio. Locate the physical button in that position on your current screen bezel.
2. Read the button label. If it says CAMERA, you need the full-frame version. If it says DISP, you need the glass-only version.
3. Confirm your vehicle and model year. Check that your Kicks or Versa falls within the confirmed fitment years above.
4. Compare against the OEM reference numbers if available. If your prior repair documentation lists one of the part numbers above, cross-check it against the version you're ordering.
5. When in doubt, send a photo. If you can't confirm the button label with certainty, a photo of your current screen is the fastest way to verify before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install the CAMERA version if my radio has a DISP button?

No. The two versions are not interchangeable. A CAMERA-button radio requires the full-frame assembly, and a DISP-button radio requires the glass-only digitizer. Installing the wrong version will not fit correctly.

Which version is easier to install?

The CAMERA version, since it includes the full frame and housing rather than requiring separation of the original screen assembly like the DISP version does.

Does either version include the LCD display?

No. Both versions restore the touchscreen digitizer function. Your existing LCD display remains in place with either version.

What if I can't tell which button my radio has?

Send a photo of your current screen before ordering. Confirming the button label is the most reliable way to avoid ordering the wrong version.

Do I need dealer programming after installation?

No. This is a direct hardware replacement and does not require dealer programming or software setup.

Bottom Line

The Nissan Kicks and Versa share the same 7-inch touchscreen footprint, but the actual replacement part depends on whether your radio has a CAMERA button or a DISP button in the top right corner. Check that button before you order.
