Leaf Spy Lite

View detailed information about your Nissan Leaf the dealer never shows you.

Leaf Spy Lite lets a Nissan Leaf owner view detailed information about their Leaf's battery by plugging in an inexpensive ELM-327 Bluetooth OBDII adapter into the standard OBDII port on the Leaf. ELM-327 Bluetooth adapters are available on eBay for around $10-$20 and one is required before Leaf Spy Lite can display information from your Leaf.

Due to a recent cost reduction (and feature reduction) many of the cheap ELM327 OBDII Bluetooth adapters from Asia no longer work with the Leaf and report themselves to be version 2.1. The only one currently recommended is the Bluetooth Konnwei KW902 which still supports all the needed ELM commands to communicate with the Leaf.

Leaf Spy Lite lacks the logging function of the full version "Leaf Spy". Depending on your phone screenshots can be used to save this information before you update to Leaf Spy. Leaf Spy Lite also lacks the Service menu features of the Leaf Spy Pro.

Although Leaf Spy Lite provides an easy and inexpensive way to learn more about your Leaf's battery it also serves as a way to verify if you have a working system before purchasing the full version of the app (Leaf Spy) which display much more information about your Leaf or the Leaf Spy Pro version that adds a number of service type functions.
