Hey, if anyone inside the EU is in interested in this mod, I have my 8" headunit + adapter cable (including the Zelemar unit!) for sale. Sold my Leaf last year. Fully working (just note the caveats in first post) and ready to go for a Tekna level Leaf (360 cameras, Bose etc.) with no extra...

That's strange. That does indeed look like it's configured for a Tekna based on the sound settings, but according to the service menu it seems to indicate the headunit is expecting to have a standard rear view camera. Is it possible that in your particular market Nissan sells the Leaf with the...

Alright, got it. Based on your photos, the service menu doesn't really show any apparent issues except that the headunit doesn't even seem to try to connect to the 360° camera control unit (no AVM ECU on the diagrams.) If I had to venture a guess, I'd say your headunit is from a car with a...

Hello Richard! Thanks for the message. Could you perhaps describe the black screen any further, or is it just a completely black screen with no picture or text at all? Does the service menu (described in the first pages of this thread) show any error codes? Can we be certain the new head unit...

Wow this is great to hear! And I'm really glad this thread was of some actual use, and not just a vanity project to get a slightly bigger screen :D . Let us know what the result is. In case the dealer is not successful in the vin update, don't fret, you can just wire in the PCB to the cables to...

Hi, tried to dm you, maybe it's not coming through? Anyway, headunit is still for sale if anyone's interested!

If anyone reading this thread is interested in doing the mod on their car, I have my headunit + the adapter cable I made for sale. Installation takes all of 15 minutes. Works directly with a Tekna, just pop it in and enjoy. Will ship inside EU, asking for 250€ + shipping. Sold my Leaf so this...

Ah, classic dealer shenanigans. I think someone else in this thread had the same issue though, so maybe it's more common and the dealer knows something we don't. Maybe there's an eMMC inside the headunit that fails or something. No doubt it's not normal for yours to fail like this just with a...

You will need the Zelemar bypass chip as outlined in the first post - otherwise the new headunit will not work as it's not coded to your VIN. Another option might be visiting the dealer to code it, but even if they're willing to do it it'd likely cost more than the chip. You would need to...

Thanks a lot, I took the plunge with the AliExpress seller, both the driver side and passenger side fit and are illuminated.

Cool! Where'd you get the switches? I'm seeing a bunch of aftermarket ones on eBay and am worried they are not illuminated. Altima is not sold in Europe so I can't pop down to the nearest Nissan dealer :( EDIT: aight, found some on AliExpress with the same part number. Might order this one, the...

I did my orange calipers with a Foliatec caliper lacquer set. It's kind of expensive considering what it includes but the results are perfect. I was worried about road salt, especially this winter there's been tons of it on the road where I live, but it's held up perfectly. Well worth the price...

I see! Well I suppose in the end buying that Visia and manually upgrading it came out at least a bit cheaper than a more expensive spec car :) I really admire the Norwegian government's push towards EVs! 23k€ for a new 40 kWh Leaf is an amazing deal.

Woohoo! That's brilliant, glad to hear it and thanks for sharing your schematics, I am sure they will be of use to the next person attempting such a modification :D Out of curiosity, where in the world are you located, if a 2022 Visia-spec Leaf only has a basic headunit without any extra features?

Alright I figured the door handle cover situation out. CarID.com along with some other website based in the US are the only places where the full covers are sold. As of right now, there aren't any on eBay or AliExpress. CarID also will not ship to outside the US. However, there are bunch of...

Got the B17 Sentra door handles that I posted about above. Not a fit for my Leaf unfortunately. Only thing I can think of is that the US/JDM Leafs have different door handles than the EU model. I've now ordered two different handle covers that are supposed to fit a Leaf (or a Sentra as the case...

Have you checked that the power steering fluid reservoir under the hood is filled up to the mark? You'd assume it would make some noises if it wasn't, but it doesn't in all cases.

Dang, those handle covers are out of stock. And they would have been in the US as well. I can't seem to find any in Europe. Ebay had a set in China but as I found out they were not suitable for the Leaf (they were too short to fit), and the text behind them said "Sentra" in Chinese. Got my money...

Hi! You can either visit the dealer, who may or may not help you, or you can solder one of these into the head unit harness: https://zelemar.eu/nissan-can-filter-installation/ It will sniff the verification message on the CANbus during bootup and spoof it to allow the headunit to start on...

Update: I was just out and about with the car and started thinking about something. Since the original NissanConnect EV app basically works, but it just doesn't let you do anything after the retrofit since it can no longer establish a connection to the original headunit, would it be possible to...
