Oh, it's a cellular data thing! The might explain why I keep getting a random - albeit non-descriptive - 'error' screen with a picture of a white line in a red circle. LeafSpy Pro consistently shows these DTC codes around the same time I see the error (obviously it takes me a minute or two to...

Oh boy... I asked a similar question, and it brought out some of the very best toxicity in this community. :rolleyes: Whilst I'm less enthusiastic about a permanent or semi-permanent solution than you are, you're an adult and can make an adult decision; if you're wrong, well you'll need to...

Yeah, I did that too, and it seemed to help a fair bit... Basically I switched everything in Nissan Connect's navigation off, along with anything that looked even remotely related to GPS or navigation in Nissan Connect. Still gotta remove the GPS antenna; but I'll pay somebody to do that...

This'll be mine, because I have physical buttons labelled "TV"... Thanks.

I'm almost certainly going to replace the head unit entirely early next year, as I work out of my car and need something pretty reliable... But I might try this over the Christmas break. I assume it's just a case of pulling the head unit forwards and disconnecting the relevant cable on the...

This guy provides some pretty good explanations:

Hey @takis , what did you need the iDatalink Maestro for, and what sort of functionality did it provide?

Where are you located? I have a phone number for a guy in Victoria that will convert it all to English, and he put me onto a guy in Brisvegas that will do the same... It's expensive though, ~$650. Mine was actually mostly converted when I bought it - just the (Nissan Connect) maps, audio...

Aviation is not the only environment where this tech and RTOS have existed for decades... Elevators, heavy machinery, the rail and shipping industry, the gas and oil industry, other elements of the aviation industry (such as ATC), the space industry. This is absolutely comparable. You think...

You know cars aren't running Microsoft Windows-based operating systems, right? For a start, from a stability and security standpoint, Windows-based operating systems are about as bad as it gets... Which is why it is rarely used in environments where safety or security is paramount. Cars are...

I have the LELink^2, which exclusively supports Bluetooth Low-Energy, and it works just fine with my Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 18.1.1 and LeafSpy Pro 2.0.0... I never needed to "pair" the LELink^2 with my iPhone 12 Pro Max and when I first used LeafSpy Pro, it said that iOS...

You can still use a lot of those features in the 2018 models, there just won't be any visual feedback... For example, the heating / air-conditioning won't show that you're adjusting it. Heated seats will still work, as the visual feedback is tied to the button itself, and not the head unit...

Mine has been pretty reliable, except where there's road works or a poor-condition road, then it sometimes gets confused... Especially when you have those black lines in the tarmac (where they've resealed the road?) or white lines that they've tried to paint over with black paint. Intersections...

I disagree. In my opinion, if we get to a point where we see Blade Runner-style automation - in other words, vehicles that completely drive themselves - we'll fix most of the safety issues surrounding private vehicles... And I don't doubt that it's only a matter of time until this happens. In...

Whilst I don't disagree, you're not looking at "the big picture"... Eventually - likely sooner rather than later - we'll get to a point where automation is so effective that in 99% of cases, we won't need to worry about "drivers" paying little or no attention to their vehicle. As I write this...

Even some factory-fitted ones are terrible, though... Porsche and Tesla do a fantastic job with their Halogen and LED lights, but Auldi and some of the other brands are blinding with their factory-fitted lights.

I must say, I do find it curious that some people are so apprehensive about automation making its way into cars... But seemingly, they have no issue with automation being present in the aviation industry. Automation is not necessarily a bad thing, when used responsibly. I do agree with @fjord...

In my defense, I spent many, many years driving an ambulance for the military at high speeds and under some incredibly challenging environments, in addition to operating heavy vehicles with similar figures to you; so I think that my reaction skills and experience more than make up for most...

In Australia, factory-fitted LEDs are legal, but retro-fitted ones are not - the argument is that "they may not be calibrated correctly and can then be dazzling to other drivers"... Ignoring the fact that factory-fitted LEDs are also dazzling. :rolleyes:

That's odd - the 2018 Nissan Leaf I bought already has LEDs for its headlights...
