I am not having any luck finding a discussion of the protocol for installing the OBDii adaptor. Is there a thread out there or is it so simple that it can be explained quickly?

If you're searching from an iPad, you have to change the type to include iPhone apps. Otherwise it defaults to iPad only apps.

An issue has been reported when communicating with a 2011 LEAF. Its possible that this affects all 2011/2012 LEAFs. I haven't reliably tracked down what model year the beta testers were using.

Has anyone successfully run the app on a 2011 or 2012 LEAF?

I'm trying to find a local 2011/2012 LEAF to test the app with. In the mean time, if you have an older LEAF you may want to hold off until I give the all clear or someone reports it working on their 2011/2012 LEAF.

I was able to test the app on a 2012 LEAF and it worked without any issue. I'm continuing to investigate a reported issue, but it appears to be a usage issue. There may be an issue with the UK version LEAF, but I'm still investigating that.

I'm sounding the all clear. App works for 2011-2014 US based LEAFs.

That was the problem thank you

All vehicles has an OBDII port originally intended for On Board Diagnostics. It allows service personnel to verify emissions compliance etc. Its a port which allows an external device to communicate with the car's internal network of computers.

Originally OBDII connected to an external device via a serial cable. Wireless options are now available which forward the messages communicated via the OBDII port wirelessly using either bluetooth or in this case WiFi protocols. Apple does not allow open access to older bluetooth protocols so the only option for an iPhone app is currently WiFi.

State of Charge %. This is not the same % displayed on 2013-2014 vehicles dash board. It represents true SOC not accounting for the buffer used at 100% and 0%.

Not quite sure how to interpret this.
