Re: No SD Card. Can you buy one? or copy one?
I believe you can buy one thru the dealer, and it's several hundred dollars ($300 ish???).
I don't think you can copy one, as I believe it is in some way tied to the car or head unit number (or both)...

You can find them on eBay sometimes. Someone else will have to confirm that this one will actually work.

Based on this thread:

I'm not sure buying a card not from the Dealer will work...

Re: No SD Card. Can you buy one? or copy one?
The cards are married to the vehicle so it is very unlikely that it would work...

Re: No SD Card. Can you buy one? or copy one?
When I bought my LEAF, the dealer (not a Nissan dealer) told me that they sometimes buy the used cards from eBay or wherever, and then slip the Nissan dealer a $50 or so to reprogram it to the LEAF they're trying to sell.
Do the map updates go into the second SD card slot, or do they replace the main card? If they replace the main card, then there's probably some (perhaps simple?) mapping between the three values SET/SNO/NAVI-1 and the three values that you need to give when buying the updated maps.

Re: No SD Card. Can you buy one? or copy one?
Many dealers and auction yards remove the SD cards to keep them from being stolen. The dealer with the first Leaf I looked at told me this. They did show me that they had the EVSE and SD card for the car. It was stored in a box in the Sales Managers office.toasty wrote:

I had to wait a few days for the auction place to ship the SD card, before I took delivery of the Leaf I did buy.

Yep. They used the Secure part of Secure Digital (what SD stands for).TomT wrote:The cards are married to the vehicle so it is very unlikely that it would work...
