    I approve of the plate but not the state. ;)

    Anyone add a 3ed party backup camera that they liked?

    I powered both the display and the camera from the power outlet on the dash. I had to drill a hole on the trunk side of the hollow frame that houses the license plate lamp wiring grommet (a large rubber flap to the right of the license plate). Use care, as you do not want to drill into other...

    Anyone add a 3ed party backup camera that they liked?

    I did a "lazy" install myself. By that I mean I did not try to completely hide the wiring, other than just running it under the carpets. I also did not interconnect the power with the brake lights, so it is always powered up when the car is on.

    How To: Reverse Backup Camera for SV Model w/ OEM Telematics

    I'm not Ramius, but maybe I can help. It appears to me that you are looking at the pins on the front side of the connector, when you should be looking at the wiring harness (back) side of the connector. Note that near the middle of his description Ramius stated "With the connector facing away...

    How To: Reverse Backup Camera for SV Model w/ OEM Telematics

    Thanks for a very thorough response. I guess Nissan didn't want to make it too easy for those of us who wanted a rear view camera but didn't think the SL upgrade was worth the price!

    How To: Reverse Backup Camera for SV Model w/ OEM Telematics

    Ramius, thanks for an excellent upgrade how-to. I have to ask, however, where do those wires initially connected to terminals 56, 59 and 60 go on the SV? Is it possible that they go exactly the same place they go on the SL? In other words, could one simply fish them out of the hatch cover and...

    Why I Love My LEAF, is the Majority Too Silent?

    I've had my LEAF for about six months, and I still love it. I love its quiet, powerful torque. I love its air conditioning, which quickly cools the car down after parking in the sun--very important here in Florida. I love its high-techiness. When I need to haul some stuff, I love the...

    Florida

    Hello, jrreno! I'm just 30 miles south in Port Charlotte, and also have a 2012 Cayenne SV. I've owned and loved it since early February and have 1600 miles on it. (Most everything I need is close to home. My longest trip to date was, in fact, to Sarasota--66 miles RT.)

    My buying a 2012 Nissan Leaf experience

    No, Your credit will be $7000, reducing your tax liability to zero. You have had $7500 withheld, and you will get all of that back. The bottom line is that for any tax liability up to $7500 you can reduce your tax liability to zero and get back whatever amount (if any) was withheld. For a tax...

    I'm a 3.7 miles/kWh flunkee

    +1 Also I can't remember ever driving with the climate control OFF. :shock:

    I'm a 3.7 miles/kWh flunkee

    On spelling perhaps, but your efficiency seems about average for those of us who drive the LEAF nearly the same as we would drive an ICE. I'm retired, so there is no commute. Most of my driving is short trips on a 55 mph highway: one mile to Home Depot or my bank, two miles to the...

    Windshield Reflection ? Solution?

    Here in sunny Florida I wear polarized sunglasses for daytime driving. I haven't noticed any significant reflections from the windshield.
