Nissan Leaf TCU 3g Upgrade/Replacement

@tszukow, do you mind posting here:

viewtopic.php?f=31&t=23248&start=110

There are a bunch of Canadian owners of US Leafs in the same situation who would appreciate the details of how you talked a Surrey dealer to do the TCU copay replacement.

Thanks!

I took mine in to Jonker as well, they said the same thing. Took down my info on the TCU, ordered the new part, told me about the $200 cnd charge..

Bought a 2012 Leaf in October of 2016. Used the Carwings/Remote Connect 'til it died. I thought it was a great feature.

Therefore, I went for the Upgrade on March 2 of this year. The tech said he didn't have time to spend waiting on the unit to "RE-Sync" or something like that, and told me that if it doesn't start working by itself in 24 hours, "call the support people".

I've had a ticket with them since MARCH 8, it's not working yet, THE ONLY FOLKS I CAN TALK TO is the TIER 1 Support folks. I've complained and moaned for the longest, but it's just not getting fixed. I would sure like to talk to someone who can see what it's doing when I attempt to use it, rather that someone at the support level of "Is it plugged in?"

Do any of you guys have a specific place I could contact for an EXECUTIVE COMPLAINT on this matter?

I've kinda had it.

Near beginning of March, my new 3G TCU finally started working again, after it took Nissan several weeks to realize a mistakenly entered ID into their server. No issues since then until a couple days ago.

Now the vehicle is clearly connecting to the server, but any commands sent from the app or website come back with a time out error. Anyone else experiencing issues? I hope it won't take months to fix again...

I just requested status update using Android app on my BlackBerry--updated OK. You could try pulling the fuse for the telematics unit or disconnecting the 12-volt battery to reset the telematics unit.

I used mine until around 1st week of Jan 2017 when it stopped working, which was later than I expected.

I finally went for the upgrade to the 3G-capable TCU in mid-March and when it didn't work right off the bat, I was told it could take 24 to 48 hours. Well, still doesn't work and fails to connect, often w/an error containing (B02).

My saga is at viewtopic.php?f=31&t=21573&p=491430&hilit=b02#p491430. I'm taking the car in tomorrow morning, finally.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I didn't do anything to the fuse and just a couple days ago the app and website started working again. Sounds like an outage on the server side after I opened another ticket with NissanConnect support. Have no other details as to why / where the issue or the scope of it...kinda sad the service just goes down randomly.

OK, After almost a full month , I was advised by the Telephone Contact to take it back to the dealer 'cause they think the installed TCU 3G unit was defective.

So, I did, and it was.

Just got it back this afternoon and it seems to work just fine.

Now I've got to look into the RSS Feeds 'cause I never explored that before.
