    NissanConnect EV / Telematics Hardware Update, for the post-2G world

    I received the NissanConnectEV email as well this morning. I'm glad to hear they still plan on providing an update for MY 2011 Leafs. I'm curious if they'll offer any additional upgrades to the infotainment system so we can have the same features as the MY 2016.

    how to swap a Blink SD card

    It's been a fairly low priority for me since I got that Blink as a backup. The easiest way to make a new SD card is to download the image file I provided and then use Win32 Disk Imager to write it to a new SD card. http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/"...

    Japanese EV Marketing - Warning Slightly Inappropriate

    Ai Shinozaki (the female in the video) is a Japanese pop-idol (something along the lines of what a supermodel would be here in the U.S.) and this is a promotion for Family Mart and the new Ultraman Galaxy S movie releasing this spring. If you see the slide at the end of the video, they're giving...

    how to swap a Blink SD card

    With the cover off, the SD card pokes out of the bottom of the main board, just behind the screen. Press up on the card and it will eject downward. Replace the card by pressing up into the SD slot and it will secure into place.

    Onboard Readout Discrepancy with Rapid Charger

    The Quick Charger reports what the car tells it, so the car is indicating to the quick charger that 100% will come sooner than in reality. This could be due to a number of things, but most likely are battery degradation, or starting a quick charge under 50% SOC (will only go to 80% SOC).

    Free 2 month trial with SiriusXM

    Yep, apparently I'm eligible too! :lol: Too bad the compression is so horrible I can't stand to listen to it, especially when my phone has free stations that stream at 96 or 128 kbps...

    how to swap a Blink SD card

    I'm pretty sure it is just a flag in the same image to go from commercial to residential, but I'm not sure which one it is. Here is the residential image: https://mega.co.nz/#!Kd12WSKY!M8rB7RJRglS7rH3Ig-pQmSvMVE4zwl3I13C49aHIvkU

    Blink Mobile App Update - Start Charging From Your Phone

    The app uses your Blink account and whatever is listed on the app is what they charge you. I don't know if No Charge to Charge members show different rates in the app.

    How many Portland OR Leaf owners Navigation System Issues?

    Apparently this is a Navigon problem: https://www.facebook.com/NAVIGON/posts/10150614123280930" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I have never experienced it though on my 2011 Leaf.

    Blink Software Updated to 2.1.20130801 on Aug. 8

    First, I would recommend using SD Formatter (https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) to completely erase the SD card (click on Options, and choose On under Format Size Adjustment). Then you should be able to use Win32 Disk Imager...

    Ecopia EP422 tires suck

    Correct, there is no evidence that 44 psi would cause any of the hypothetical situations you present in your statement. So I want to know why you suggest they could occur even though by your own admission you have no proof?

    Is Carwings glitchy for you?

    No charging notifications since Sunday for me... The Nissan Leaf Owners website portal comes up with no data when I click on Carwings... Nissan is definitely having some issues!

    Dead 12V battery question

    I would recommend getting a logger to properly measure the usage and chart how the battery is being charged and discharged: http://amzn.com/B003DS0BS2" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
