Thanks miimura for service/warranty info.
ENTUNE: More than a year ago when I attempted to activate Entune I could not create a Safety Connect ID because “customer service” had no record of my VIN. “customer service” asked me to contact dealer [OneToyota, Oakland] and ask them to upload vehicle information to Toyota.
OneToyota was unable to do so, and asked me make a Service Appt. and come in to resolve this issue. At the time I had no need for ENTUNE and did not persue it further. At 10K service tomorrow I'll demand resolution [I can hear you all laughing now].
DEPARTURE TIMER: For the first year DT worked flawlessly using a Mod. #UN2R3H EVSE at 240V/20A. Then it would 'charge immediately' when plugged in right away, but DT would 'set' if plugged in after vehicle cooled down. Over time it would always default to charge immediately. Today I reprogrammed DT, changing departure time by 5 minutes, and now DT seems to be working, i.e. did not start charging when plugged in.
So what's my question? What do I want? I want the %&#€° Departure Timer to function as it did when new. Any advice as to how to lean on Dealer to make this right?
ALSO: I concluded that since this DT disfunction only occurred with my Level2 240V/20A Mod. #UN2R3H EVSE and contacted the Vendor. He is a fellow enthusiast and RAV4EV owner, so I give him the benefit of the doubt when he says the vehicle is the problem, not the EVSE. Where will I stand if Dealer claims my EVSE is faulty? I've been down this road before with 2 or 3 parties pointing a finger at each other . . . it never ends well.
EVSE Upgrade for 2013-2014 Nissan LEAF (high-power)
Model: UN2R3H
Shipping Weight: 8lbs
$287.00
Note: This is the upgrade service for the unit supplied with 2013 and 2014 North American Nissan LEAF. It requires a minimum 30 amp 208-240 volt outlet for high-power charging!
If you only have 20A circuit available for charging, or have a different model, we have special options, Contact us for information.
The Nissan-branded unit has been improved. Like its older sibling, this unit is also manufactured by Panasonic kitchen appliances division, well-known for quality products. Quality and reliability have not suffered despite the slimmer design, it is the most rugged and reliable portable unit available, and once upgraded it becomes auto-adjusting and can operate on almost any outlet type in the world using simple adapters. It's still fully portable, or you can easily mount it on a wall with the included mounting holes. You also get an advanced Anti-Theft security system and easily programmable amperage settings, so you can "dial it down" if you are on a limited power outlet, or you really want a "trickle" charge, say for example; in airport long-term parking.
With this upgrade, Your 6kW 2013-2014 LEAF can safely and efficiently charge at up to over 4 times faster than it did on the original unit when used on any 208-240 volt 30 amp outlet! This means you will see amazingly faster 3 to 5 hour typical charge times. The unit still retains the ability to be used on a standard household outlet*, and it then charges at up to 12 amps. The advanced programming feature allows you to set the charging speed, if desired, to as low as 6 amps in 1 amp increments, and the unit remembers its amp settings for both level 1 and 2 separately.
*optional 120v Adapter is required for charging on standard wall outlets!
