About Leaf Spy Pro

The Leaf Spy Pro application allows anyone with a Nissan Leaf electric vehicle, Android device with Bluetooth and a supported ELM327 OBDII Bluetooth adapter the ability to monitor their battery and other vehicle information normally visible only to the dealer.

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 previously recommended Bluetooth Konnwei KW902 OBDII adapter is also no longer recommended as a batch of defective ones have made their way into the market. These will basically short out your Leaf's CAN bus (or any CAN bus they are plugged into). But when removed do not seem to cause any lasting damage.

With the release of version 0.39.97 LeafSpy Pro now supports two Bluetooth 4.x LE approved adapters. The recommended one is the LELink available from Amazon. Bluetooth 4.x LE has the advantage of not needing to be paired and lower power from both the Android device and the Leaf. The LELink is highly recommended and also works with the iOS version of LeafSpy Pro.

Great app, hard to believe something so specialized is available and maintained. It is a must have app if you are a LEAF owner. Biggest issue I have read about is having working OBDC2 bluetooth connector to car. The one I have has been very stable, no issues. However, it isn't available on Amazon anymore. This great thing about this app is it gives a lot of real time information about status and health of battery. It is also very useful to see tire pressure as well as error codes in computer. It is amazing that it is able to pull so much info about the car, and I know it has many more features I haven't used yet. I upgraded from the free version to the pro version to gain access to error codes and be able to modify the auto door locking. It is nice not to have to go to the dealer for that!

Good app, but please update your Dropbox link for compliance. I've received two emails from Dropbox stating that this app is not up-to-date with their 3rd party link requirements and will not sync after September 28th. As a paid app user for the Pro, we should expect this compliance.

Working with Jim (the developer) was a pleasure as I had some license issues I wanted to resolve. He was very prompt in his reply and we got everything worked out. The app works as expected and I had no issues.

Once I found a good OBD2 dongle, this app has been giving me all kinds of info on my '13 Leaf. Well worth the cost so I can see how well I am driving and what extra info that is not available to me on the radio.

I have a lot of trouble with the app not connecting (yellow ELM retry in xx seconds) which is usually fixed by exiting and restarting but frustrating to have to do all the time. Seems to happen with changing screens. Also the service screen is very limited, door lock part only works very rarely. Haven't tried tyre pressure and change yet. Will update later.

If the ONLY thing you do with this app is check your tire pressure, it's worth the cost. Between the service menu and code reading functions, and all the other technical information, this app is mandatory for the most basic shade tree mechanic.

It informs me of the state of health and activities of the inner workings of my 2015 leav SV but I'm not sure what to do with it. I've read the hyperlinked wiki manual but the screen shots don't match my version. I've increased my rating because of the very quick tech support when I emailed and I really appreciate the trip log features. Being able to change the door auto lock conditions gets rid of the Leafs annoying defaults.

I use this tool almost every time I drive my Leaf, it gives me a much better estimate of how far I can drive on the current charge. The only thing I don't like is the interface, but maybe I am being picky.

F**ked up my car. First the cameras stopped working, then the music console started acting weird. Had to take the car to the shop. They fixed it and blamed LeafSpy. Told me they had cars that stopped working (as in dead) because of LeafSpy. I have a Leaf 2013 SL with 360 cameras. Don't know which OBD2-adapter, but bluetooth and I have used it for years in my GMC. Sad, because I enjoyed getting the extra info the app provided.

I finally broke down and purchase the app out of curiosity. It does everything its advertised to do and I'm very pleased with it. I recommend this to all Leaf owners who want to understand their battery and gain more insight into their car.

I love the app! My note 3 was stolen and I have purchased an LG G flex 2 running 5.1.1 lollipop to replace it. The app reports bluetooth port connection errors. I thought it could be the receiver but I've tested it on my wife's note 3 with leaf spy free and all's good.. :( please help!

Y70%
by Y####:

I got this app mainly to check my battery and found it not very accurate, more like pot luck as to the reading you will get. It jumped from 97% to 89% back 100% and back to 89% over the period I tested. So a waste of money if you want it for battery checks. UPDATE: it's the SOH and telling me it does not happen is simply not true. I know others who have had same experience.
