That may be the best piece of advice yet. I think I'm just going to order it and try it. The radio is the same form factor. The dash looks totally unchanged for the most part. I would bet money they didn't change the connector on the harness. Further I would venture to guess that it isn't...

Anyone??? I'm tempted to just try it.

Because the 2016 does HD Radio. It also works a heck of a lot better. It has a better looking user interface. The maps would be updated. I found one in a junk yard however I wanted to see if anyone knows if this is even possible before I waste money.

I have a 2012 and had the battery replaced recently. While it was getting replaced I had a 2016 loaner. I would like to put the 2016 radio into my 2012. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that they didn't change the wiring at all for this new radio. It seems to display all the same info...

Well I don't know the full scope of your project... HOWEVER... It doesn't HAVE to be a leaf battery to get that motor to run. I have seen videos on youtube of people hacking the inverters to run the Traction motors. If there is interest I could find and link to the youtube video. You could...

I can tell you why this is. It has to do with the speed that you drive. For whatever reason when you first start the car it expects you to not drive over around 25mph or so. The instant you exceed 25'ish it recalculates. Then as you go faster and faster it keeps on recalculating. Once the...

Not only did I not do the battery tests but I neglected all maintenance. In the 3 years the only thing that I've done to this car is replace the tires, and fill the windshield solvent. If anyone was going to get their warranty voided it would have been me. At the end there were days I was...

I know what you guys are going through waiting for that 4th bar to drop. It was miserable. I was quick charging on my way to work (L2 @ Work) then again on the way home. It was almost getting to the point where it was comical. I was literally suffering with a car that had a usable range of...

I skipped every single one of mine and just got a new battery.

You don't notice the massive surges as the AC cycles making the car lurch?? Or the strange out of this world sounds the transmission makes? Or the vibrations that resonate through everything from the steering wheel all the way to the seats? I'm going to survive with it. Its only for a week...

I had an accident with my leaf. For a loaner they gave me a Nissan Sentra. I just wanted to post online just how awful this car truly is in every single aspect. The car is a 2015 with less than 3k miles on it. 1> The transmission is total BS. It makes AWFUL noises. At times I think there...

Sure. $287 Just click on the link on the word evseupgrade and it'll take you to the website. You send in the factory charger and they upgrade (modify) it for 240 volt usage and put a different plug on it. It will still function on a standard 120 volt outlet just as it did before with an...

The question comes what happens when someone evil does "bad things" to them. For instance. Lots of these systems are using radar for range detection. What happens when someone decides to jam the radar frequencies (by accident or on purpose). How is the car going to respond when one of its...

When we bought ours it was for short commutes like you are using yours. After having it for a brief period of time I got a whole lot more comfortable stretching the range. Personally I cannot say enough about evseupgrade. I got one of their upgraded cords and that has REALLY made the car work...

My personal favorite is pulling up to a stop light next to one. The funniest thing is that the drivers don't seem to recognize the significance of seeing another. I'm always on the look out for electric cars as I drive. I've seen a bunch of Leafs, a few Teslas, and one e-golf thus far. The...

IMHO you wouldn't have to worry about draining the battery. The devices you mention won't have any effect on the 12 volt system of the car. The nexus 7 holds roughly 10 watts of energy. Thats a TINY fraction of the energy available in the cars 12 volt system. Even multiple devices wouldn't...

Last Friday had an accident in my leaf. I got rear ended by a mini cooper going about 40 MPH. To anyone wondering how their leaf would take an impact I can say the leaf handled it VERY well. It popped a lot of the bumper clips and popped out one of the edges. I'm sure all of the supports...

Thats all fine and dandy except many people don't even know how to turn off their high beams much less navigate through a series of menu options to enable/disable features of the car (which they probably won't understand). If these cars offered features like you suggest there is the real...

I got my key made cheaper than the dealer through a lock smith. I paid 120 bucks for the fob to be programmed and the key to be cut. The dealer wanted far more. I used Car Keys Express http://www.carkeysexpress.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This isn't a secret. All of their engineers are well aware. Its even stated in the owners manual of the car. The range of the car is highly variable and is totally up to the driver. As I stated I *DO* use regen however I keep it to a minimum because that isn't the most efficient way to...
