    Bluetooth phone connected but streaming audio doesn't work

    My iPhone4 would connect both phone and audio and work fine. I've paired the new iPhone5 for both phone and audio. Phone works, audio thinks it's connected but doesn't play. It does play with usb / lightning connected. Any ideas?

    LEAF reliability survey, view results, sign up to help

    Just added our Leaf. Nothing to report on a very reliable car!

    Anyone added water to 12v battery?

    Slightly off topic, but I've had two experiences in jumping a Highlander Hybrid and most recently my MIL's Prius. On the HH, my wife had left the doors open to air the car out after leaving some raw chicken in the August heat for 3 days! She didn't realize that the light wouldn't go out and I...

    Is your LEAF solar-powered, or will it be at some point?

    It's already peaked at 3 kw and 18+ kwh and it's only March. But between the Leaf, the oven, the laundry and several other things, it's nice to have the 'free' electricity!

    Is your LEAF solar-powered, or will it be at some point?

    Nope, it's a new Sangamo electronic meter and from the readings I've done, it just doesn't increment. With AC season (actually it's on now!), we won't be giving a lot back. . . our base is about 1600-1800 kw (lots of computers / stuff), if any. I'm very pleased with the Enphase...

    Is your LEAF solar-powered, or will it be at some point?

    I installed 15 220 watt Trina panels with Enphase micro-inverters and went live on October 26, 2011, coincidently 2 days before out Leaf arrived-early. I had had an electrician install a sub-panel with a 240 volt circuit to the roof for the panels and a 240 volt circuit for the AV charger in...

    XM Radio Trial Subscription period?

    Ours lasted about 4 months and then the discount mail / calls started. They got down to around $6 per month if we prepaid for a year. Still too expensive! All we listened to was Radio Margaritaville and we're not in the car that much. I showed the wife how to record a few random hours of RM...

    Why Did You Choose the Nissan Leaf over the Chevy Volt?

    We had a 2007 Highlander Hybrid and a 1999 Miata (wife's car). She started thinking about a "Smart Car" and I suggested looking at the Leaf. I was surprised she embraced it so much with just the website information. Never considered the Volt other than reading about it. We placed the...

    411 on volontary recall P1273 LEAF VCM LBC TCU NTB12-014

    Had the upgrade on Wednesday. Wife mentioned on Thursday that there is a high-pitched 'whine' upon acceleration. Driving it today with her, I can't hear it, but that doesn't surprise me depending on how high it is. Does anyone else notice it?

    Wireless power could revolutionize highway transportation

    If you think getting public charging stations is currently slow and expensive, think about the cost and economics of the installation of this type of charging.

    The official "I got my Leaf" thread

    Great Story! A great example of how screwed up our banks are. An electronic transfer takes 3 days (actually maybe ~3 milliseconds) but they can count up the cash for you in a few minutes. Shouldn't that be reversed! Don't get me started on BofA!! And we love the first ~1100 miles we've had...

    TED5000 + PV + LEAF

    I posted this over in the 240 volt electrical noise problem thread . . I guess I've been lucky. We had an AV charger installed in a sub-panel in October along with a 240 volt circuit to the roof for 15 panels / Enphase Microinverters. The Envoy (communications gateway) that talks to the...

    Electrical line noise while charging at 240V

    I guess I've been lucky. We had an AV charger installed in a sub-panel in October along with a 240 volt circuit to the roof for 15 panels / Enphase Microinverters. The Envoy (communications gateway) that talks to the panels via PLC is on a circuit in the garage from the main panel and works...
