    I'm a bit lost when trying to set this up for my 2013, in the "charge timer" menu there's no start/end option, only see a "To" option. Regardless if I the "charge time" is enable or not, pressing on the timer button doesn't do anything. After reading this 2nd paragraph (post-2013) , I wonder if...

    Retrofit of OEM LED Headlights

    I ended up getting the AUTOONE H13/9008 LED Headlight Bulbs 24000LM 6000K. Plug n Play like the Auxito. Definitely not 24000lm. In terms of fan noise, when standing up next to the headlights I hear no noise at all. Might need to get my hand on a stethoscope :) To my eyes, the color does seem...

    Retrofit of OEM LED Headlights

    Finally, I was able to take the connector out. I got help from a 90 degree pick to push that tab all the way down, pulling the connector out required hardly no strength. Much less strength than I expected. Are your LEDs noisy at all due to the fast spinning fan? Haven't ordered yet...

    Retrofit of OEM LED Headlights

    pita +1 I'm about to try this weekend/early next week. Just to make sure, "press up" meaning apply pressure on the tab toward the connector itself? Do you press on the tab using just a finger or use some sort of tool to help? I need apply a 2k clear coat on my headlights, not quite equipped to...

    Replaced Door handle -- Now I-Key System Failure Message

    The error message is i-key system fault not i-key system failure. @OP if you can edit the title of your message it would be great. This will allow anyone facing the same issue to find this thread. Currently a search using the keywords i-key system fault doesn't result this thread.

    If you search on ali for "LiFePO4 200ah", many of the "rectangular/flat cells" (blue, green, purple, etc) will have between the 2 +- poles a small "stainless or aluminum?" plate that has a laser engraved 3d barcode.

    Setec Vehicle-to-Load 6 kW Discharge Inverter

    I was looking at Setec minutes ago and stumble on this thread. Do you know where that 1kW limit comes from? Is that 1kW limit per phase? Just to confirm, the setup you tested was car's chamedo port -> chamedo cable to Setect V2H -> to Appliances?

    Replaced Door handle -- Now I-Key System Failure Message

    After changing the door handle with a non-OEM one (ebay, ali, etc) I was having this message as well. I started to be suspicious about the antenna that is part of the handle. The fix is very simple, just need to swap the antenna on the new one with the old one. The 2 connectors on the handle...

    HOW TO: Daytime Running Lights (DRL) installed for $35

    This is the most recent active thread for DRL, so the reason to reply here. Bought a Leaf 2013 in the US many years ago and imported it to Canada this past week. While searching to figure out a good way to add DRL, I stumble a turn signal light bulb with a "Dual Mode". It does turn signal...
