BTW, what I do to allow the car time to "boot" is I start the car before putting my seatbelt on. By the time I've done that, the car is generally ready to go.
Right ... But I wish the Manual would explain the "bugs" too :lol: :lol:GroundLoop said:Guys, all the Power States and transitions between them are explained in the Owner's Manual.
Yup ... I often do web-browser CarWings refresh, and early on I would check on the car sitting in the garage on the other side of the wall. Sure enough, there's that odd sound Karl describes (rather well).kolmstead said:OK, here's one I haven't seen mentioned: I can hear the car talking with Mother. Parked under sunshade, blower and audio off, when I ask Carwings for an update, I hear a little 'rotta rotta' sound from behind the dash. It's only there when car is trying to communicate. Reminds me of an old-fashioned telegrapher, sending Morse code. There's absolutely no reason for a cellular modem to make noise, but my LEAF's does.

Cars usually have their own manufacturer specific "OS" - it would be a realtime OS - not a general purpose one like Windows or Linux.mogur said:Do we actually know what OS the LEAF uses or is it an industrial-specific coding and not a true OS at all?
What you're probably hearing is the GSM traffic burst being picked up by the car's audio amplifiers and soundsystem.kolmstead said:OK, here's one I haven't seen mentioned: I can hear the car talking with Mother.

I am hearing it OUTSIDE the car; only opening the door to the garage and staring at the front of the car from 6-8 feet away. The car is NOT "on" (other than what it does while being plugged in).GroundLoop said:What you're probably hearing is the GSM traffic burst being picked up by the car's audio amplifiers and soundsystem.kolmstead said:OK, here's one I haven't seen mentioned: I can hear the car talking with Mother.

My understanding is that it is indeed a Windows variant (at least for the Nav system)...Heaven help us all!mogur said:Do we actually know what OS the LEAF uses or is it an industrial-specific coding and not a true OS at all?

I recorded the sounds while doing two actions on the car. It's definitely MUCH louder inside than outside. So what I am hearing outside is strong enough to filter into the quiet garage from the inside. And, yes I agree, sounds like a GSM cell phone near a stereo system. I have heard this sound at someones house even with the audio system turned off while his GSM cell was very nearby a speaker.LEAFer said:(We are wandering OT ...)
