Just purchased a used 2013 SV with 25K miles, I pick it up in a few days when it's ready. What are the things I should do or have done to it right away? What should I know about or be aware of? I'm sure this has been discussed already but can't find the forum entries, if someone could direct me I'd greatly appreciate it, TIA.
For example I believe there is a Nissan Connect (formerly Carwings?) upgrade that needs to be done by a dealer, is that correct? Is it necessary given I also understand the 2013 Leaf relies on AT&T's 2G network which is going away at the end of 2016. Are these related (Nissan Connect and the 2G network)? I've heard about an app that I can install on my Android phone to remote control some stuff on the Leaf, what's the app? Is it the same thing as Nissan Connect (Carwings)? Does it need the 2G network to work? How do I sign up for Nissan Connect? Should I sign up?
I hear there is a $189 map update for the Navigation, should I do that? Especially for the locations of charge stations? Is the nav going to be more and more useless as times goes on? Should I just forget about it and use Google Maps on my phone?
I know there is one open recall that needs to be taken care of for this car (already being done). The used car dealer I bought it from (Platt Auto Group in Portland, OR) is taking it to the Nissan dealer to get the recall done. Are there any TSBs or other work I should/could have done or should be aware of?
Sorry for all the questions. Looking forward to picking up my Leaf.
