    Lose the "Building Trees" on the head's up display

    Lose the trees. I agree. In fact, lose all the displays, fire the people who designed them, and use "Leaf Spy". I just got it, and I have fallen back in love with my LEAF. It has all the necessary info info laid out in an intelligent and useable way.

    What happened to "bigsoccer.com/topic/Nissan Leaf"?

    My favorite LEAF news site, "http://soccernews.bigsoccer.com/topic/Nissan_Leaf" disappeared about November 14. Now all that appears is the message: No CMS found. :-( Anybody else use this site? It was the best one out there for news about the LEAF, and I really miss it.

    Cell signal booster recommendation?

    I installed a signal booster 4 days ago. I now have an 86% success rate getting a battery charge update. Before the booster, it only worked 44% of the time. Still 14% failure rate is pretty high. Does anyone get better?

    Cell signal booster recommendation?

    I am going to try a Wi-Ex zBoost YX540. The LEAF uses (nearly antique) 2G for some reason. I read in another post that AT&T will be phasing out 2G by 2017. I wonder if the LEAF could be upgraded to 4G?

    Cell signal booster recommendation?

    Can anyone recommend a home cell phone phone signal booster?

    Back up camera in rain

    ebill3; I really like the turn signal sound (And my hearing is fine). I don't remember my Prius rear view camera getting so water spotted. Other than that, I do find the LEAF back up camera much more useful, with better resolution in marginal lighting, and the prediction lines that move with...

    New side marker light (Turn Signal)

    UkrainianKozak, The sticky back tape looked like a 3m copy (In the same font as 3M tape, the cover tape said "3WM"). I was a little nervous about the quality too, so I ran a tiny bead of silicone caulk around the top edge. It has been through several car washes. As for replacing the light, the...

    New side marker light (Turn Signal)

    Teg: The little box seemed to be a relay so that the light could be used as a running light AND a blinker. I just eliminated it. The flasher worked fine with no added resistor. The wires were really tiny... I soldered them to a "large" 18 guage wire, and put some shrink tubing around the splice.

    New side marker light (Turn Signal)

    I just replaced my side turn signal light. I thought the white plastic one looked cheap. What makes me nervous was the new one WAS cheap ($14 on EBay) http://www.ebay.com/itm/170794656954?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3007wt_1266" onclick="window.open(this.href);return...

    Consistent button positions for Bluetooth phone usage

    Thanks for pointing that out snadra; I wondered why I kept getting to the "Handset" when I aimed for the hangup.

    E-1 vs E9a I'm so confused

    DeaneG, EEk! I switched to E-9 in November and I am saving about $60/month. I saw the summer rates, but didn't see the part where you couldn't switch rates "every six months". Where is this written? I need to read the fine print to look for loopholes!
