    USB Port Not Working... 2015 Leaf

    If it's not an iPhone, then I think you will only be able to play your music over Bluetooth.

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

    I'm also having intermittent connectivity issues. My problem with the battery "theory" is that my car is a 2015 and only 18 months old. My ICE car batteries easily got 5 - 7 years. Is there a reason that I've missed as to why Leaf's would be devouring their 12v batteries so quickly?

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

    I agree with you that this step should only be taken as a last resort. I have posted about doing this (and it's what I did to get my unit working after being down for ten days). Taking it back to the dealer and working with Nissan would be my first recommendation. I just didn't have the time...

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

    UPDATE: (see my post history for the full saga) Summary to date was that I had the 3g upgrade about two weeks ago. After a few days, my situation was that my car could "call home" and authenticate my user ID, but that I could not trigger any access remotely (via desktop or iOS). Given that...

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

    Switching back to auto-detect of the carrier did not work. Quite frustrating. I checked my Carwings (Nissan Connect) account and my driving history is being updated each time I connect from my car (it even has this morning's commute logged, and associated with my logon id). But from the same...

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

    That sounds right, but is not my experience. At this point, I can connect from my car, update stations, and sign on (getting the message that my account has been activated). But, apart from a brief 2 day window after I manually entered AT&T as the service provider, I cannot connect from...

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

    And today... Nada. Kaput. Cannot connect. Will check my Carwings settings when I can get back in the car this evening

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

    Yes. I had it already printed out in the glove compartment , but failed to mention that. The dealer called me about an hour after I dropped it off to ask for my credentials. I knew it was necessary to log back into the system once the upgrade was complete, so I printed them as much for me as...

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

    I had the exact same blanks and error code. Again... just putting in AT&T as the network under user settings worked to fix it.

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

    Mine never did kick in by itself. Here's what I did to make it work. Got to the "Phone & Carwings" Settings menu. Select "Data Communication" Then, go to the "Select Carrier" screen. Turn off "Automatic Setup", and select "Manual Setup" Chose your carrier on the next screen. The only...

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

    Got the free TCU upgrade on my 2015 today. Still hasn't been able to connect, but they told me that the carrier was looking into it. This sounded different from the normal "delay", but "Russ" at Wright Nissan in Wexford, PA is a Leaf pro, so I'm sure it will kick in by tomorrow.

    Phone won't stay paired

    This may seem like a lame response, but I would delete the phone from the car, and remove the car from the phone's list of paired devices. Re-add them, and see if that works. I did this last week to correct a problem with disconnecting calls and I've been working since.

    2015 Tax Credit for EVSE?

    Yes. I disagree. I doubt the tax rule requires the equipment to be UL - certified. The only documentation you would need is a simple receipt from OpenEVSE. And that's only if you get audited (<0.1% chance.... maybe). You can't deduct for your own time / labor on the install, but I think...

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

    At least by the time I bought my MY 2015 Leaf, I had to sign a very clear disclosure statement indicating that CarWings would / could go away at the end of 2016. I don't think I, or anyone else who signed that, would have a legal or moral leg to stand on. My takeway: Nissan did not HAVE to do...

    2015 Model year here. Got a physical letter offering full cost of replacement (parts and labor). Psyched!
