Leaf Spy Approved LELink OBD2:
Note from supplier:
yes, our product LELink works with Leaf Spy Lite or Leaf Spy Pro on the Android or Apple Store. Our adapter also has user configurable auto on/off ZEROpower standby, so it won’t drain car battery. amzn.to/2HlXfnY
I will do a review of the product soon.
Looks like that OBD2 is out of stock make sure you search for the following when looking for the right OBD2 as there's a lot out there that does not work with Leaf Spy so its a bit hit and miss.
V1.5 Firmware
ELM327
OBDII OBD2
Bluetooth or Wifi
Hi James as always you give us a video thats informational,ive got myself a OBD II and a lead with two ends so you could plug in two devices at the same time.One of them has a switch on it so you could power down the OBD II,leaving a spare port.just got to wait for my leaf in early may and the wait is going slow.As always really great stuff you bring us,please keep em coming.
Thanks for the clear and simple explanation, James. Looking forward to your review of the hardware.
Thanks for the shout out James. :-)
Good job James I already have my cable and obdII - now all I need is my Leaf! :)
Hopefully not long now :) good to see you're prepaired to get the all the info out of the car when you get it :D
Me too, gude. Thumbs ip !
Thank you.
Good information James for us newbies. Does fitting an OBD2 affect the warranty on the vehicle?
Does the vsp setting work to shut off the reverse beeping?
Hello I watched Your videos and they're so great!!! I have some problem with my leaf - 59 dtc codes 😟 Do you have some websites or something to get all the information explained about every code?
Another great vid, When my Leaf arrives I will be getting one of these, and will now be able to hit the ground running without the usual new toy dramas! I believe it’s a WIFI version for iOS
Dura Ace yes I think your right. I've not really looked into iOS as I didn't want to buy another OBD2 and leaf spy again. Android FTW🤣
Do you know if I can use that dongle for Nissan March 2019?
Very helpful video, thanks James.
What is the small white connector used for, the one immediately to the left of the larger one into which you plugged the ODB2 adaptor? What type of plug does it accept?
Re Nissan Uk’s awaited response, why do you expect/hope it will be any different from what Nissan USA are now saying? Their statement is entirely consistent with the warning in the User Manual that to protect the battery from damage due to overheating, the battery should be allowed to cool after the first rapid charge before the second charge. They say active battery cooling was omitted to keep the purchase price down.
I think Nissan are destroying their credibility by not including active battery temperature management. The only way I can see whereby they can salvage their reputation is to offer this as an optional extra across the range ASAP. That way those who need to drive longer journeys can do so if they’re prepared to pay the extra while those who don’t need to can avoid paying for something they don’t need.
Keep up the good work.
Thank for vidéo very nice
thanks
James, just wondered if you realised that around page 2 in the handbook it states that( paraphrasing) , any device plugged in to the Leaf via the OBD might invalidate your warranty if any damage results.(Or words to that effect).
Possible refresh battery to app
Does anyone know how to disable the VSP on 2018 leaf? I have the app/dongle, I've unchecked all of the VSP sounds in the service menu and hit "Change" but they all went back to checked except the "Vehicle Start" sound.
Nice one James.
David Allen thanks for watching. Hopefully back to making fun videos again rather than science physics battery overheating ones 🤣
Only 53 days to wait now....
My OBD port doesn't seem to have power, any idea which fuse box the fuse is in and what number please? Been looking online for the last hour and can't seem to find it
Hi James, that's it, I don't need to do any other research, I've watched your video, and now I'm all set to go :o) Not sure what I'll do about model type, not having a Leaf, but I'll go with the 40kWh 2018 Leaf I'm guessing. Thanks OBD Kenobi, you've taught me lots...
Nice one! make sure you have the doors on Auto lock after 15mph its very handy. Yes I'm sure if you pick the Leaf 2018 it'll be the closest. If you have any question let me know on Twitter :)
@@LemonTeaLeaf Cheers James, all up and running on 40kWh Leaf. All except tyres, but not a problem. Very interesting stuff just out on a short trip :-)
@@TeslaModel3Adventures doesn't work on the Leaf40 ether. As leaf spy can't access it unlike the older models
Cheers mate, won't be using this until I have 10k which should be around early June and then every 10k after.
Fancy a Bev Mate? No problem is that to check on state of health of the battery?
I've got a US 2018 Leaf. The ODB port is straight down from the steering column about a foot back on the panel. It doesn't have a cover, so all I did was reach under and plugged it in. No access panels to remove.
DSTARInfo Oh, that's different. It still amazes me the slight difference between regions for cars.
I have a 2013 Leaf and the ODBC port is about in the place described here. I guess they didn't move it much for the US.
Thank you for the god and informative video. I am getting leaf spy soon.
Have you heard any thing new form Nissan?
Christopher Hørling talked to Nissan UK on Thursdays said they'll be chasing up for an answer Friday but nothing so far. Should hear from them next week about the BMS if not I have his direct number.
Thank you.
Thinking about getting an OBD 2 and Leaf Spy Pro but hope you can help. Once you have installed the gadget or dongle , does the cover refit or do you just leave it off?
Geoff Nuttall no the cover won't refit back on I have it in my centre console is not that big so just keep it safe :)
Works in IOS?
Can you change the language of the dash with LeafSpy iOS? for the ze1?
Hi, is it possible to disable VSP on Leaf 2018 from the Leaf Spy Pro service menu? How does it work?
Jaromír Kohlíček you can access the VSP via the service screen I show on the video. It has a bunch of tick boxes I've not tried it. I'll make an update video on leaf spy
Very helpful -- thank you! Has anybody come up with a 3D printable replacement for the port cover?
Not that I know of
Thanks for the video, they are great. Am I correct, the ODB II is on even when your not in the car and doors locked.
If so, I see what you mean by it being a security risk. So someone (if they knew password 0000 or 1234) could log in and change the doors to always be unlocked.
Look forward to many more videos.
MrSnowMen the Bluetooth is always on. I don't think they can unlock your car from just via the OBD II. Also most Bluetooth give around 15 second to connect before having to turn it on and off again to retry. But for the security concious it maybe best to unplug unless you know exactly that the dongle does after leaving it plugged in.
Thanks for the update.
Chat again soon.
Will it work on the 2019 leaf
Yes it'll work with all models of Nissan Leaf
Given what you currently know about rapid charging, would you still purchase the Leaf today and if not which car you have purchased instead.
Simon Carr I pre-ordered thinking this will be the electric car to do 130-150 motorway mile which would be the perfect car for me. But with the battery issues and learning to live with it. I would buy the leaf just for the tech like ProPilot and ePedal. But if I'm honest I would really consider the ionq over the leaf mainly for the motorway drives I do. It would be a hard choice to be honest. I might even have consider dare I say a Mitsubishi PHEV as the family long distance car and then bought the 60kWh Leaf (nismo) when/if it can out but by the they'll be a lot more on the market.
That's almost a politicians answer... Ok bottom line I would buy the leaf what I know know. But would have to consider a second car for long distance. In the ideal world it should have been the one car that rules them all. 🤣
Lemon-Tea Leaf hi mate if I may just bring something that the ioniq doesn't have? First of all the boot is way too shallow for bigger loads but for me more importantly is the extra height over cars lower to the ground. Having an elevated driving position makes for much more safety and ease of the pulling out of the junctions etc. Cheers
Thank you. I got the Leaf just over a week ago & it's been great so far. The link to the OBD2 is currently unavailable. Does anyone have a link to another one that would work with the new Leaf? I see a lot of different kinds on eBay & Amazon but I'm unsure of the exact one I need.

hello, please write what is the name of your computer and where can I buy it I have already bought two and not one does not work for me nissan leaf 2022 thanks
Hi I used this OBD2 unit as it's built for the nissan leaf and leaf spy
LELink OBD2 (Leaf Spy Approved): amzn.to/2Yr5lq9
I have today decided to cancel my order. I was hoping that Nissan's response was going to be we will find a solution, but it seems that 'It's the we designed it' makes me annoyed when it effectively limits the car to 150m journeys. 150 miles there and 150 miles back. I am also now starting to hear that in America where ambient temperatures have hit 21 celsius their are unconfirmed reports that #rapidgate is occurring on the first rapid charge. I still want a Nissan Leaf, but I will wait for the 2019 version.
I think that is the sensible choice. NissanUSA response is very poor indeed. I hope NissanUK will have a different response to this as I’m waiting to hear back from them still. I think 2019-2020 will be the year when the consumer will have a larger choice of EVs.
Hi, has anyone tested this out with a Nissan Leaf Tekna 2019?
Yes it'll work with all Nissan Leaf models including the 62 kwh one.
Does this OBD works for every EV?
It might but you'll need to find out specifically which one you can use for your car. As with the Nissan leaf out of10 OBD companies, 7 couldn't verify if their product would work as not all OBD have the same handshake to vehicles.
Hi James, im not a tecki person and my first time to buy a car, waiting for my SV hopefully it'll arrive this summer. Questions:How come we need obd2 for the leaf? Do we really need this to generate info to activate leaf spy? Sorry for the dump questions.
Saggie Sky Hi, yes you'll need an OBD2 so the phone can talk to the car via Leaf Spy Pro. The OBD2 is used by garages to diagnose the car. I'm only using it to get as much info on what the car is doing. Most people will want this to get a better idea of the actual battery level state of charge (SOC) especially for long journeys. Hope that answers your question. Also there's never a dumb question so ask away 😊
Saggie Sky Yes you need the OBD-II adapter if you want leafspy to work. The adapter is the bridge between the car and your phone. All communication in the car is done over CAN BUS. A phone connect only over bluetooth or wifi. The OBD-II adapter translate information between the two protocols.
What Gilles Pelletier said 😁
Thanks James and Gilles. Do we need to keep it there once installed or do we remove and reinstall it every day?
Saggie Sky personality mine is always plunged in. It will not drained your 12 volts battery.
Hi I just got my Nissan Leaf 2.0 please I can’t connect the ev connect app . My car shows no signal. Do I need SIM card or what? Thank s
Kwaku Obeng you need to sign up online. It's best to do it on a computer. Once you have an account you need to apply your vin number so it links your car to the account. This is the UK link.
youplus.nissan.co.uk/GB/en/YouPlus/ConnectedServices.html
It'll take you through the the process of how to find your vin number etc.
I have sign up but my car don’t have the mobil signal
That happened to me as well, you just need to take the car back to the dealer and get them to recalibrate the TCU (Telematics). Took them 10 minutes and it was running fine afterwards!
I love how the plug on the extension cable is as chunky as the device. lol
Haha I know I was hoping i could have it all tucked away nicely, personally I just ended up with the dongle stuck in directly with the panel off
Yea , I gotta get a Bluetooth OBD2 connector .
Anyone else had issues getting this app to work with new dongles? I'm on my 3rd OBD2 dongle and still no luck. Most recent LELink2 dongle works with other apps, BTW, but not LSP, so must be something to do with supported protocols or some other issue? Going to give up at this point if there are no obvious solutions..
I've just tested on the nissan leaf with the wifi dongle and latest leafspy pro and got it working. was a little fiddly as i tried to connect the dongle via BT but think it was the the one in the IONIQ5, after i switch to WiFi connection it worked. I've lost my LELink2 as that was an easy plug and play before. maybe remove all BT devices and try again?
@@LemonTeaLeaf for some reason the dongles work with Car Scanner app but not Leaf Spy Pro. Suspect it might be something to do with the new dongles have less support for EV protocols? I'll work it out eventually..
@@decimal1815 Leaf Spy is rather fussy with it's protocols which is why I would only recommend the LELink as it's made for leafspy. and the most compatable.
@@LemonTeaLeaf I have the LELink2 but I suspect that it's been "improved" in the version that's now available. I'll report back if I work it out or if it's a different issue. 👍
FINALLY got the LELink2 dongle to work! Turns out I needed to enable GPS on the phone before I installed LSP. That prompted the phone to ask about permissions for accessing location data. Without that simple step, LSP was blocked from accessing data from the dongle completely. That was after 4 separate attempts to uninstall, re-install and change different settings on the Android 12 phone. I knew the dongle was working as it was quite happy to send data to Car Scanner. Anyway, all good, and I can be just as big a nerd as the other boys now! Meanwhile everyone else has sold-off their Leaf and bought a Tesla ;)
Is Leaf Spy the only app that works with this or is it the only one available on iOS/android?
Bought the LELink OBD2 from Amazon UK and couldn't pair bluetooth despite it showing the red light. Tried with four android devices and 2 Apple device but no joy. Tried with the Leaf off, on and on and ready to drive. Tried with a Hyundai i10 and got the same results. Tried emailing the supplier (as listed on the device instructions) and email address does not exist. Arranged for a return. Just wanted to inform other potential buyers of my issues.
Okay change of plans. Return cancelled. Doesn't pair over bluetooth in the device itself only via the Leafspy app. Car needs to be on and ready to drive. Ensure the OBD II is plugged in. Run Leafspy (ensuring android/apple device has bluetooth on) and in settings connect via bluetooth. Should now connect and start reading Leaf data.
Thanks, SKTechnologySolution, I've got a couple of OBD coming for testing including the LELink OBD2, I have a feeling that the LELink is connected via Wifi? Have you tried that? Plug it in while your car is off then turn the car on and try connecting to Wifi. I'll be doing a review of a few OBD2 products soon testing with Leaf Spy.
If you bought off amazon you should beable to send back for a refund if its defective.
Interesting that at "100%" you had 38.4 kWh capacity. That's more than I expected (36kWh).
