Hi goldbrick. All good information, especially the key fob info. If this is indeed the case (and it seems logical to me), then it eliminates one of my greatest concerns with the door replacement approach. Thanks for posting.

Hi, and thanks for the input. Latest update is I will be having one more paintless dent repair guy look at the car for an estimate. The tech has years of experience and he is well reviewed. Will update on my end when I have more information. Meantime, anyone else have experience swapping out...

Hi all. Here's my issue - my car 2013 Nissan Leaf, black, with damage to the right rear door panel. I've explored a few options, here are some details: Paintless dent repair - $350 - $400 to get the door panel to "90%" Regular auto body shop - $1100 for dent repair and paint Used door...

Yes, it comes up as V1.5 on the Leaf Spy screen. Gary

Yup, this is exactly why I'll attempt to purge my personal information before I return it tomorrow. DNA, thanks for the tips...I was aware of some of those steps, but not the homelink.

This is the one I ended up going with. It is one of the devices listed on the wiki page. It was about $24.00 before shipping, and it is bulky - i.e. probably not good for leaving plugged in when driving and during ingress/egress, as it hangs down into the footwell and most likely would get...

Hi. Tuesday is the termination date for my 2012 lease, and I have an appointment to return it to the dealer that day. I have had the inspection, and removed all personal belongings from the car. I did see the screen in Carwings where I can delete my Name and Password. I'm wondering what else...

Thanks for the input mn4az and TimLee. Yes, it is. All good quesitons Tim...you really did your homework! The relative I was regularly driving north to see is now in Spokane - no more driving to Elk on a regular basis. I've lived without the heat pump on the 2012, so I guess I can live...

My end of lease strategy is shaping up like this: Inspection was yesterday on a 2012 SL with 12 bars and about 14,000 miles. Got dinged for a scratch on the lower right bumper fascia - $195. I have $500 down on a 2013 S built Dec. 2013. VPP pricing is invoice minus $1000 (29,377 - 1000 =...

So, if I can verify with a seller that the ELM327 has 3 boards instead two, this would be indicative of a V1.5 - correct?

I bought what looks to be the same device from ebay seller "l.g.brother": http://www.ebay.com/itm/OBD2-ELM327-V1-5-Interface-Bluetooth-Car-Diagnostic-Scanner-Android-Torque-Scan-/171220932467?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27dd901773" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The Leaf Spy...

Well, looks like I won't be making the drive to check out the 2013 today after all. Turns out the the ELM327 that I purchased from ebay (from seller i.d. "l.g. brother"), advertised as a V1.5, actually is a version 2.1, and it does not play well with the Leaf Spy. I found this out at 5 am this...

Thanks to all who shared their data. I'm making the trip this morning to plug into my prospective purchase. michapok - the graph is a wellspring of information, and the values you've recorded are lower than others are reporting. If I see similar values, I may be concerned enough to decline...

So it sounds like these batteries have some resiliency after sitting, which I suppose is a good thing, but it makes it difficult to evaluate a battery because you can't account for possible improved numbers once charging cycles begin. Based on the VIN, I'm pretty sure this car was a Dec. 2013...

Thanks Mottyski82 - very helpful! Gary

Hello. On Saturday, I hope to use the Leaf Spy app to assess the battery on a New 2013 that I'm traveling to look at. I'd like to have a benchmark to compare the results from the prospective vehicle. If possible, please post the Leaf Spy data points that are the most critical, the target...

Hello all. I have my charge timer set with no start time, end time of 4 a.m., and 80 percent charge. The last few days, charging has stopped at 9 bars / 75 %. The last time I charged to 100% (sometime last week) all twelve bars were showing. Is the 9 bar / 75 % indicative of some loss of...

Hi Tim. When you say "The dealer equipment could tell you everything", I think it's at least worth a try to request this info. before a deal can be completed. Do you have any first hand knowledge of the dealer test? Is there a specific test I should ask for, and what data should I expect to...

One of the cars is in Las Vegas. It has one summer under it belt there, but, looking back at the temps., it was a hot one, with July, August and Sept. topping out pretty much every day above 90, and many days above 100 (some above 110 :oops: ). The other car is in Montana. It appears from...

Slow1 - thanks for this. Yours is the second vote for extending the current lease. I've sort of felt like extending the lease was like throwing $2000 or so per year down the drain, whereas a purchase of the 2013 for > $12,000 after fed. tax incentive would at least break even if I chose to...
