    13-17 Leaf S Radio Install Guide

    That's for retaining the factory mic to use with aftermarket stereo I believe. I didn't get that in depth. I used the mic that came with my stereo, and attached it to end of headliner, between where the rearview mirror is mounted and the overhead map lights, mic, etc. Its hidden for the most...

    Sorry for delay! I seem to recall that one of the threads around here had an image of a wiring harness completed. I found it in my library, attempting to post here. https://ibb.co/HXF6DXR Can't upload, try the link.

    13-17 Leaf S Radio Install Guide

    I paid $126 for the Boss unit...had a coupon to get it to $186, then signed up for the Amazon store card and got an additional $60 off. Couldn't pass it up at that price. Quality of unit has surprised me. All is good except steering wheel controls. AWSC-1 just not working. Metra/Axxess won't...

    So the ASWC-1 with the AX-NIS32SWC-6V is a finicky item...no luck yet. Multiple calls to tech support ranging from they don't support the Leaf all the way to questioning my lack of understanding english....(I was born in Ohio)...Still trying but the work week is fast approaching, this may spill...

    13-17 Leaf S Radio Install Guide

    So I spent the better part of Sunday morning completing this install. Pictures to follow later. Here is a complete list of all the items I bought to make this work: BOSS CarPlay Head Unit - I only wanted CarPlay so I can access Apple Music, podcasts, basically anything via my phone. Northern...

    13-17 Leaf S Radio Install Guide

    I recently picked up a CarPlay compatible unit from Amazon and used this list for all the necessary items. In my previous car I used CarPlay exclusively for everything, and prefer it over any other infotainment system. I did skip the Phone button adapters as I just don’t use them currently...

    Typical battery degradation or ???

    Thanks to all for the replies and info. I bought car used with 20k miles in Ohio before moving west eventually. 2/3 of the miles I’ve logged are from Nevada. Northern Nevada can be much like Midwest weather, minus the constant precipitation.

    Typical battery degradation or ???

    I have a 2013 S, 38k miles. I only charge to 80%, and rarely (2-3 times a year) charge to 100%. In November 2018, I lost my first bar on range. However, I’ve charged to 100% twice since then needing the range, and the car charges up the 12th bar. It will show a 12th bar of charge, but not a 12th...

    Thanks for the feedback. I’ll check the above out. Any comments to snow tires on the front only?

    Recommendations for tire chains?

    Looking for recommendations for tire chains. Living in Northern Nevada, and may see the need for them occasionally. Was thinking of going with a a pair of stock steel wheels, snow tires, and just install on the front. Any concerns with this?

    Lost my first bar...maybe?

    Built 10/30. Car was located in Ohio prior to me owning, and up until spring of this year, then I moved to Northern Nevada. Overall I can’t complain about the car. Got it at a great deal. I’ve actually grown slightly bored as I don’t have to do oil changes, brake checks, etc like I previously...

    Lost my first bar...maybe?

    I’d post a picture for clarity but this message board system from 1998 won’t allow me to do so from mobile. I feel that I’ve been fairly conservative with my charging. Try to keep it between 30-80% luckily my commute allows for that, and my employer has more than ample EV charging available...

    Lost my first bar...maybe?

    I have a 2013 S model, purchased 2nd hand in 10/17 with 20k miles, now at 34k mikes. I charge to 80% regularly with L2 when needed, and have only gone to 100% a dozen or so times when needed, and drove the vehicle almost immediately when doing so. I have used L3 charging when needed, and have...
