So, with the car "OFF" (or Charging), the LEAF's audio amplifier remains ON?
And, the LEAF's "cell phone" (data) connection or antenna is not sufficiently isolated from the audio system?
I am hearing it OUTSIDE the car; only opening the door to the garage and staring at the front of the car from 6-8 feet away. The car is NOT "on" (other than what it does while being plugged in).GroundLoop wrote:What you're probably hearing is the GSM traffic burst being picked up by the car's audio amplifiers and soundsystem.kolmstead wrote: OK, here's one I haven't seen mentioned: I can hear the car talking with Mother. Parked under sunshade, blower and audio off, when I ask Carwings for an update, I hear a little 'rotta rotta' sound from behind the dash.... There's absolutely no reason for a cellular modem to make noise, but my LEAF's does.
My understanding is that it is indeed a Windows variant (at least for the Nav system)...Heaven help us all!mogur wrote:Do we actually know what OS the LEAF uses or is it an industrial-specific coding and not a true OS at all?

I recorded the sounds while doing two actions on the car. It's definitely MUCH louder inside than outside. So what I am hearing outside is strong enough to filter into the quiet garage from the inside. And, yes I agree, sounds like a GSM cell phone near a stereo system. I have heard this sound at someones house even with the audio system turned off while his GSM cell was very nearby a speaker.LEAFer wrote:(We are wandering OT ...)

Nissan has used an Intelligent Key with push button start in many of their vehicles for many years. Nissan programs the usage for typical user's behaviors - such as starting your car and driving it. The behavior that you described above is not typical. The reason the car did not turn off when you pressed the button is because it is programmed to not turn off in that scenario. Think of it like this - you start your car and start driving. Someone accidently pushes the start/stop button. You really don't want the car to be turned off while you are driving, so pushing the button once will not turn off the car while it is in motion. (I realize that you were not moving in the above scenario, but again, more typical is to start the car and drive away which is what the programming is designed to accommodate.)kolmstead wrote:Right as usual, guys. I just tried it again. Foot on brake, turn on power, read SOC. Try to turn off, and you just get beeped at. Take big foot off brake, and car shuts off normally.
