    What's new for 2020?

    Currently driving Tesla Model 3 for overnight test drive. Volvo dealer says XC40EC delivery expected in the spring, but no news on the pricing. Tesla M3 is a cool car, but the $40K version lacks so many things. Need to spend $50K to get a good car, IMHO. I can get a loaded Leaf SL Plus for...

    What's new for 2020?

    Volvo XC40 EV announcement in a few weeks. This may just work out for me. I can delay purchase until at least February. Test driving a Tesla Model 3 at noon today.

    What's new for 2020?

    It's mid September and this thread is the best I can find on USA 2020 Nissan Leaf+. I just sold my 2016 Leaf SL to Carmax. I have 6 more payments on a Volvo lease. I hate buying gas. Dealer wanting to slam me into a leftover 2019 SL+ with discounts up to 4500. This time, I won't settle for...

    Finally 2018 nisan leaf 150mi range

    Nice improvements. It's a better looking vehicle. My 2016 model 100+mile range is noticeably better than my 2013 model's 80 mile range. 150 miles will bring the Leaf to more mainstream drivers. Lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control and rear cross traffic alerts are...

    VersiCharge LVL 2 EVSE at Costco

    I searched Costco on this site and did not find this. I was browsing costco.com site today and noticed the Siemens VersiCharge LVL 2 EVSE for $399.99 after $60 off. I recently paid $499 at Home Depot for the same unit.

    Going for a full Bosectomy - SUCCESS! (custom speaker/amp/DSP install)

    Thank you again for your detailed posts. I was wondering whether you were going to use the head unit outputs (Front L+R and Rear L+R.) The Nissan Leaf AV docs show that the AV unit for the non-Bose with Navigation is part number JSNIA3618ZZ and has a 45 watt x 4 amp built in. Curiously, the...

    I just broke my driver putting my golf clubs in the cargo area. From now on, they're going in the back seat.

    2013 Leaf S Speaker replacement

    Infinity Kappa 60.11 CS (Component System) is on sale for $245 per pair on Crutchfield and on Infinity Car Audio retail site. The Infinity site says that they will fit and Crutchfield says that they will not fit. There is a mounting height clearance issue with the door panel/grille by a little...

    New Focal Component Speaker,Sub, and Amp Installed on 2015 Leaf (Updated)

    ... more bass at lower volumes? I recently ordered the Focal BombA BP20 powered subwoofer to replace the Bose. It's on back order. I will give you an update once it is installed and auditioned. It should provide the thump you're looking for.

    Thank you for sharing. Nice install. I was curious about those Focal speakers.

    Going for a full Bosectomy - SUCCESS! (custom speaker/amp/DSP install)

    I assume that you considered a front center channel. Did you come up with any solutions?

    Going for a full Bosectomy - SUCCESS! (custom speaker/amp/DSP install)

    I think you're right DeudeMann. For processing, TwK88 would be the best option. I am anxious to see your results. I believe that much of my issues with my sound system could be corrected with sound deadening. I get too much unclear midbass vibration from the front speaker area on many songs...

    Going for a full Bosectomy - SUCCESS! (custom speaker/amp/DSP install)

    I'm really hating on you, now DeudeMann. You just couldn't let sleeping dogs lie, could you. Now I can't stop thinking about upgrading my Leaf Bose audio. This is going to cost me a couple grand, I'm so very sure. Here's my wishlist: 1. Focal BombA BP20 Powered Subwoofer - I already test...

    Going for a full Bosectomy - SUCCESS! (custom speaker/amp/DSP install)

    The Audio Control DQ-61 should work well if you use the front and rear, left and right pre-amp outputs from the head unit. You should be able to tap them from the inputs on the Bose amp. The Bose amp has 7 channels of output which is one more than the DQ-61 accepts. Alternatively, you could...

    Going for a full Bosectomy - SUCCESS! (custom speaker/amp/DSP install)

    I have not replaced any of the Bose components in my 2016 Nissan Leaf SL, but I am looking into it. I found wiring diagrams and more information for a 2014 Leaf with Bose on this site: http://www.nicoclub.com/manuals/Leaf/2014%20Leaf/av.pdf. and yes, apparently the head unit sends front and...

    Chargepoint L2 won't plug in -SOLVED

    I searched several pages of posts and couldn't find this problem. Monday, I parked in a lot that had Chargepoint L2 charging stations. I downloaded the app, signed up and tried to plug it in to my 2016 Leaf SL, but it wouldn't fit. Under closer inspection, it looked like it should fit. I...

    Nissan Connect EV Problems for 2016 Leafs

    I bought a used 2016 Leaf SV from CarMax a month ago. I could not connect. I called Nissan customer service and got the vehicle's account transferred to me. I already had a Nissan Connect account from my previous 2013 Leaf. Still couldn't connect after successful connection notice in the...

    Considering an EV (Leaf SV and others)

    I just bought a used 2016 Leaf SL with Premium Package. The Bose audio does sound better and the surround view camera is a nice feature. If you're spending 20 to 30K on a car, why quibble over a few hundred bucks. I chose the 2016 for the bigger battery and greater range. You can get them on...

    Wholesale value of the 2013 Leaf @Auction-March '18

    NMAC contacted me and asked my intentions for end of lease. After I told them that I intended to return the vehicle and not replace it, that was the end of the discussion. I returned the vehicle to the dealer who asked the same question.
