Would it be possible to add Android Auto support for LeafSpy Pro? The stock first gen head units are dated and suck and Android Auto/Apple CarPlay head units are pretty affordable. We can retain steering wheel controls with adapters, but those of us with SV/SLs with automatic climate control...

Hate to bump an old thread, but would the heater controls from a 2015-2017 S work in a 2015 SL? The factory radio sucks and the climate control is my only concern when going with an aftermarket Android Auto head unit.

I need to do that but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I had a tint shop install it.

I'll probably just pay the same people to vinyl wrap the door handles and front chrome part, but its up to my wife since its her car. The window tint blocks out ~50% of solar heat, so for my rear facing 18 month old, that should make her quite a bit more comfortable in the summer. She gets...

Yea those bug the hell out of me. They'd have to pay me to put one of those on my cars.

Lol it doesn't really bother me. I'll take it off eventually.

Just got the tail lights covered with red film/tint. I'm not a big fan of chrome or taillights so I had this done to my wife's car. Next up is debadging, window tint and vinyl wrap on the door handles. P1110056 by tuanies, on Flickr

If I didn't already have the Bosch, I'd totally get the OpenEVSE. Looks like a fun little project to assemble.

The battery packs are stacked with space in between for ventilation, there's a little vent under the seat that just takes air from the cabin to cool/warm the battery. Kia figured the cabin would always be at optimal comfort temp and simplifies things by taking advantage of that.

Here're the images I took during the event. P1100696 by tuanies, on Flickr P1100699 by tuanies, on Flickr P1100704 by tuanies, on Flickr P1100715 by tuanies, on Flickr P1100739-Edit by tuanies, on Flickr P1100740 by tuanies, on Flickr P1100741 by tuanies, on Flickr P1100743 by tuanies...

It had a heat pump on all versions. There's a driver mode that only blows air out of the driver side vents so it doesn't have to work as hard. The plus version has ventilated seats too.

I'll take lots of pics. Driving it in Dana Point at a Kia Sedona / Soul EV press event.

Driving this tomorrow, anyone have any questions they want answered?

I think the Outlander concept looks way better than the Leaf. The styling direction has gone back to aggressive, which is what I liked about the older Outlander and Outlander Sport.

I think the dash indicator is a worse case scenario and probably calculates it for say 15-amp Level 2 chargers and not the 30-amp like the Bosch is.

Yea I drive a lot of different cars, the shifter is the last thing that bothers me. I don't even notice the differences half the time. The wiper stock bugs me the most though.

My Mazda is the same way as well, over and up for reverse.

When you make those items adjustable, there isn't a chance you'll drive forward or reverse accidentally because you didn't remember what you adjusted it to. What you're asking for would require a display of some sort to always show the current configuration where the shifter is, essentially...

I use B mode as a type of engine brake on my wife's Leaf. Works great if you want to slow down faster than normal regen but not quite ready to tap the brakes and set off a chain reaction yet.
