    Leaf carpool cheater exits lane after passing cop

    She is single occupant, and has BOTH white and red CAV stickers. Not only is she cheating the carpool lane, but it’s fraud: https://youtu.be/aKIWikqDbWg

    Tapping into rear-view camera for DVR

    I’m wondering if anyone has attempted this yet? Those dashcams that support a rear view camera, would be nice to just tap into the NTSC wire in the back of the navigation?

    Sun visor extension from Infiniti Q50?

    I’m wondering if anyone has tried an Infiniti Q50 sun visor. It looks like the right dimensions... https://youtu.be/efvooQnUC-Q

    2014+ steering wheel on a 2011?

    I’d love to have heated steering wheel. I was wondering if anyone knew if a 2014 wheel would fit on a 2011? Mostly, I care about figment, airbag, horn, cruise and audio control working. I’m savvy enough to be able to wire up the heating element independently.

    Heater / AC hack

    This may seam like a super silly hack, but might be worthwhile. Consider heating only 1/3 your cabin vs 100% of your cabin. How? Shower curtain! :D :lol: Place a clear $10 Amazon shower curtain right behind the driver seat with magnets to hold it up. Your cabin will heat or cool in 1/3...

    Heated Steering Wheel Retrofit

    Has anyone attempted to install a heated steering wheel on an older model Leaf? Mine is a 2011 SL. I'm considering the aftermarket heated seats as well. With fall and winter just around the corner, I have to start thinking about these things.

    Emergency Airplane Landing on 580

    My wife and I witnessed this on Saturday! What a crazy week it's been: https://youtu.be/cNXdCYfYnN4 Someone also filmed me driving as I slowed down traffic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CuOcrha9TE Went crazy viral with interviews from ABC, CBS, Front page CNN, GMA, etc. etc.

    2011 SL Stereo harness for Navigation

    So I upgraded all 4 speakers in my SL to Infinity, and boy are they power hungry. I have the stereo at 1/2 volume to listen at normal level. I want to install a 4ch amp, but prefer not to tap the original wire harness if I can avoid it. Mine has the backup camera, navigation, XM, timer...

    Red CAV sticker for used cars with white CAV stickers

    Hi Folks, I’ve been looking all around, including the California dmv site for details on used cars with white CAV stickers to renew with Red. It’s quite nebulous. Has anyone attempted to apply for one that is a used car owner with white stickers? I bought mine used in August that came with...

    Yellow triangle light and P312a p3131 u1000 codes

    Hi Folks, Started my morning off with the NissanConnectEV app unable to get a battery status. Not thinking much about it, given the slow and buggy nature, I hopped into the car for the drive to work, and noticed a yellow triangle warning. Ran LeafSpy, and found P312a p3131 u1000. Once I got...

    New Alexa NissanConnect EV skill is out!

    And it works, sorta... the fact that you have to say “Alexa, ask nissanconnect ev battery status” is kinda wordy, and seems to register about once every five tries. Seems easier to just open up the app on the phone. Hopefully there will be updates and improvements to make it easier and work...

    Got unplugged, want to retrofit lock mechanism

    During Halloween, some kid thought it was funny to unplug me. Now I’m looking for the part number for the solenoid on the later models that lock in the EVSE to see if it can be retrofitted. I’m not worried about the electronics integration as I will wire this manually.

    How beneficial is drafting/slipstreaming?

    I'm conducting a DIY hobby/project right now, that involves a custom directional anemometer I designed and 3d printed. I've currently hooked it up to an old DC motor (with minimal cogging effects) I had laying around, and attached the leads to a V/Ohm meter. I'm experimenting with placement...

    12v Battery Recommendations

    Hi Folks, I know that various theories have been beaten to death here over the 12v battery topic, but I'm now in desperate need of a replacement, and want to know folks who've actually had real-world replacements now for 1+years. I'd like to know the following: Make/Model? Type, i.e. Lead...

    Hey look! 176 mile range!

    :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_Dtv11BEhY Yeah, NOT! seems to be a glitch from when my 12v battery went down to 8v. Love that problem, so much fun. LeafSpy oddly showed appropriate range (80 miles), but the NAV energy details screen reflected same as instrument cluster. Powered on...

    Solar Powering the Navigation

    Discovered this by accident while tinkering with 12v charging options: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaXA5YwpbNg I'm not inclined to leave it this way, as it doesn't provide any value, but I suppose if you wanted to listen to music without using any battery in the car, you could. I'm...

    Bluetooth call static, Music audio is fine

    Hi Folks, I've seen one-off posts, but have had problems using search to locate anything specific to Bluetooth static issues with voice calls. Car is a 2011 SL paired with iPhone 6 Plus and IOS 10. I've not yet had a chance to test it with other phones, but one thing is certain, music audio...

    New traction battery, what I've discovered about regen and range

    So, my new battery has been in for about a week now, and what a difference! So, as many know already, when your battery degrades (loss of bars), it's due to the loss of cells in your battery. The pressure plates and/or temp sensors on the packs, etc with their proprietary algorithm for cell...

    Latest LeafSpy compatible OBD2

    I purchased a Veepeak VP01 on Amazon, and it stopped working after the second day. Tried multiple cars and apps. I ended up returning it, was going to purchase another but they raised the price on me so I refuse to pay more for the same type of hardware. Anyone know of others that are under...

    2018 Leaf not a full re-design

    I'm 99.99% positive this is the exact same chassis. I placed the two versions into layers on Photoshop, and everything is identical and lines up perfectly with Gen 1. All they did is change the front and rear, and at that, it's only paneling cosmetics. I do have to say though, it is a much...
