    Finally did it - dumping the stock av/nav!.... kinda :)

    No - With the non-stock display, I get a good rear view image, but no display of turning guides. I looked pretty hard for connectors for a while, and completely gave up, so I hold little hope for finding them outside of that bypass kit. Meanwhile, got the car back :) Might try to get back...

    Finally did it - dumping the stock av/nav!.... kinda :)

    Not really any updates - Job changes convinced me to move to Seattle, meaning I had to prep my house for sale, pretty much every spare minute for a couple months went into that ... then just as I was about to move, an electrical storm put a power surge into the leaf and it's been having...

    Something in my charging system just died (2011)

    glad I'm not in a hurry :) Just called to check in and apparently waiting on something from Nissan corporate in order to be able to (replace?) the vcm I think? Seems like a lot of the hangups have been waiting on Nissan to approve things. I guess I can understand that maybe? given the...

    Something in my charging system just died (2011)

    About 48 hours at that point, very little time on the streets - I've actually been here two weeks now, and I have no idea how many I've seen... :) Don't know how much it was anymore. The transport arrangements ended up being a complete cluster because one shipper just didn't bother to show...

    Something in my charging system just died (2011)

    Alright, looks like this is finally drawing near close, maybe? After quite a bit of swashbuckling with transport companies, I finally got someone to actually pick the car up. Delivered the car end of last week (actually met Aaron to discuss it early this week), and looks like the problem is...

    Is there an aux video input on the Clarion Console

    The reverse camera is a simple composite video signal (just like the old "RCA" video cables you'd run from your VCR) - so your 'new' video source will need to be able to send out that sort of signal. You'll have to wire in a relay to switch the input from the backup camera to the source you're...

    I'd love if it were something simple like that, but no.

    Something in my charging system just died (2011)

    I'm moving - I already need to have it hauled from Little Rock to Seattle, regardless of function. Just now I have to pay extra to have it considered non-operational. That's what I mean about freaking bad timing. Theoretically I could have had it serviced here in Little Rock first, but when...

    Something in my charging system just died (2011)

    Gah. Just keeps getting worse. Have to pay extra to have it transported as "non-operational" now... Today when I tried to start it to move it for loading it on the truck, the 'green car' blinked once, then went away and the double-parentheses exclamation error light came on. At that point it...

    Something in my charging system just died (2011)

    Thanks, that happens to be closest to my new home (cap hill) anyway :) I'll give him a call and schedule something as soon as I get there. I'll also ask for a printout of the stored DTC's - I wouldn't have known what to ask for, so many thanks for that advice as well :) Either way, man it's...

    Something in my charging system just died (2011)

    Well crap. Not quite fixed, it seems - just not quite as critically broken as before. Since getting it back from the shop, around 2 days later I had an incident where the car stopped charging mid-charge; when I next turned the car on, it had the exclamation-car error indicator. Turn off the...

    Seattle area rentals and EVSE...?

    So! Just got confirmed for my new home, figured I'd update for anyone else looking in the area. Found out LOTS - there are a ton of apartment buildings that have EVSEs, but they really don't seem to have figured out how to serve people with EVs. This problem is highlighted by the new via6...

    Seattle area rentals and EVSE...?

    That's cool! I'm actually scheduled for one of my tours at 1pm, so probably won't make it unfortunately. Thanks for the parking links, and pointing me toward recargo - I'm familiar with a number of other charging station sites, but hadn't seen that one for whatever reason. Looks to be more...

    Seattle area rentals and EVSE...?

    Alright, so in the process of actual home selection now. Have a few apartment buildings I've found with EVSE's and I've got appointments to check them out this weekend (centennial tower apartments, alley 24 - aspira's out of price range for a 2br, and a few others only had 1br) and a few places...
