SOLD. Not sure whether I should delete post. Guess I'll just leave it for a few days.

Like new. I found this device indispensable, except I traded my LEAF so no longer need it. Info.: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=12561" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; $60 including shipping OBO. PayPal.

BTW, I received a Blink statement just a few days ago. No balance owed, but anybody know what's up with that? Is there anyone there?

+1. Mine has needed maybe a few simple reboots from the breaker box. A year or more ago a gentleman came out with new FW and installed it via SD card, and it's been virtually stable since. No real complaints, even though I could wish for more features like viewable stats going back more than one...

I'm still loving this device. I do have two very simple suggestions to improve the user interface, though, and will post here for any discussion. Sorry if this has been covered before. When you hold the button for a second to change the units, it would be an improvement for the digits to start...

OK. Good to know. Guess you could buy any cheapo Android tablet at Big Lots, et. al., as long as it has Bluetooth. Thanks.

I didn't do an exhaustive search of every combination of gear, but doesn't a prepaid phone still require a monthly payment? If you're already in a non-Android contract or just don't want to part with your iPhone, whatever, it seems your solution would cost more. Further, your collection of three...

Unless you already have an Android device for the OBM solutions I recommend the LeafDD dash display (http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=12561), listed among the CANbus topics at (http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewforum.php?f=44). From what I could find, this seems to be the simplest...

I lost my first on Sunday at something over 26k miles. Interesting it coincided with charging the car much farther than I normally do. iPad app reported 20 minutes shy of full charge and all 12 charge bars on the left came up. But the top bar on the right was gone. I no longer feel comfortable...

Yep, definitely slanted. It shows the federal gov't costs for A123 and Fisker, but not for Tesla or the billions it continually spends subsidizing fossil fuels. Also, Fisker actually received $193 million of its loan, not $529M. It also states that the cheapest EV is the Mitsu at $30K, in...

I bought the non-OE 91H rating version of the Ecopias in the same size 205/55/R16 (from Tirerack), because they were a few bucks cheaper and have the higher UTQG rating vs. OE. The Michelins I had for 3 weeks were also the same size. (I wondered about the diameters; thanks for calculating that...

I replaced with the Primacy MXV4, which is supposed to be very LRR, but my efficiency has suffered so badly (~0.3-0.4 mi/kWh) that I bought another set of Ecopias and will be returning the Michelins tomorrow under their generous 30-day satisfaction warranty. I'll update as any new surprises...

It's moot for this now, but I've transported my large-shouldered bass in my LEAF. Along with a small amp, electric bass, accessory bag, etc. Of course, I usually keep the car in its rear seat down mode (for transporting our dog) and that makes it easier. From doghouse on wheels to doghouse...

Unless there's a strong consensus for another tire, I'll probably look toward one of the Kumho models to replace mine which are starting to get thin at ~21k. Kumho tires on my other cars have been a solid improvement over any other brand I've used and happen to cost less too. I'm a believer in...

Here's the bottom line for fixed angle year-round: - If your latitude is below 25°, use the latitude times 0.87. - If your latitude is between 25° and 50°, use the latitude, times 0.76, plus 3.1 degrees. - If your latitude is above 50°, see Other Situations in the same link...
