The Vectrix sold.

On a related note, the Washington Post recently published an article about Electrify America's reliability: https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/12/13/electrify-america-ev-charger-broken/ Here is a re-posted version that shouldn't require a WaPo subscription: MSN

Oooooh, my bad. No, nothing fancy like that. Everything was plug-and-play as mentioned above. I was fortunate that the 2016 Leaf was functional at the junkyard, so I could verify that the stereo worked and that the map SD card was present. The navigation map SD card can only be used in the...

The two radio antenna pins are identical between the two units. The only difference between them is the grey plastic connector housing. Annoyingly, I misplaced the connector from the 2016 stereo, so that's the one thing (besides telematics) that I don't have hooked up. I rarely listen to the...

Thanks! Yes, the Bluetooth connects to our phones perfectly well.

Hoping for a better user experience (including spoken text messages) and the possibility of newer firmware supporting Android Auto (what I later learned is a very expensive proposition from https://xanavi.net/), I bought the non-Bose navigation stereo system (Clarion QY-8200) out of a wrecked...

Disregard. If you have a Viofo A119 v3 dash camera suddenly won't keep its settings saved, you may have to replace the RTC (tiny soldered rechargeable lithium battery). Otherwise, you might think your Leaf is starting to make weird noises! Mods can delete this post if necessary.

Saw that! Thanks for the shout-out in the comments, and glad to help!

I installed this on a 2013 Leaf. Not 100% sure about compatibility between 2013 and the later models, but I wouldn't be surprised. You could compare suspension part numbers between years: https://parts.nissanusa.com/

Yep, the stock bar stays (welded?) in place. I've been happy with the handling improvement :)

I care a lot. So much so that I bought a stereo out of a junked 2016 Leaf (US) so I could retrofit it into my 2013 Leaf (US). What slowed me down there was that the stereo, antenna, and satellite connectors are different between 2013 and 2016, and I'm trying to avoid cutting the factory harness...

Sorry, no longer available.

I measured my stock rear sway bar as 19mm (same as the Ultra Racing bar), but knocking on it, it sounds like it may be hollow. I believe the Ultra Racing bar is solid (or at least makes a lower-pitch sound when I knock on it).

Going from a MINI Cooper S to a Nissan Leaf, there were (not surprisingly) some aspects of the driving experience that I felt I had lost in the transition. I love the torque of the Leaf when I actually need/use it, but it's been a while since I've dealt with so much understeer and body roll. I...

Want to retrofit automatic headlights or add fog lights to a car that didn't already have them? This 2014 Nissan Murano SV combination switch is just want you need! I had it installed in my 2013 Leaf SV for months. Though it's slightly different visually, it's functionally identical to my...
