    Thanks for the compliments, much appreciated, and glad it works.

    I am bit in the dark about a panel? 😉

    Yep, Robertsa amd MerrillBlaw are spammers…

    I marked these users as spammers which should have prevented them from further posting – anyway, they are now deleted.

    Thanks everyone for the feedback on the dongle – the one at Andy’s link is out of stock, but I’ve found a cheap one on Amazon and ordered it. If I can find the time I’d like to help with the software, perhaps incorporating the algorithm from my Predicter App.

    Black option is cheapest: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Moobom-Diagnostic-Bluetooth-ELM327-Interface/dp/B015CEZNKA/

    @Trevor yep, that dongle should work.

    There is a discussion going on in the issues tracker of CanZE about range prediction. It would be lovely if you could join in. We can pull all the inputs you use from the CANbus.

    Anyway, the source of CanZE is completely Open Sourced, same repository, so feel free to have a peek 🙂

    Sorry yoh-there, that’s what happens when we’re talking about 2 cars! I was referring to the OBD2 connector on the Leaf – it’s hidden behind a small panel underneath the steering column, but is easy enough to get at with a screwdriver.
    Trevor, when you plug into both cars, you’ll appreciate the excellent information given by CanZE on the Zoe over the free version of LeafSpy, but also the extra information that the Leaf gives you compared to the Zoe!

    @takerhandy: No sorry’s please! And as I am not a native speaker, things will get dazed and confused even quicker 😉

    I have no hands-on with a Leaf (other than the outside, which I find particularly ugly, but that’s really a personal thing), but I am indeed slightly miffed about the lack of information the Zoe gives out. Renault have tried their very best to make the Zoe as “normal” as possible, but a few “screens for the advanced” would have been nice. Oh well, look where it leads to!!

    I am intersted in contributing but I’m so busy I can’t make any promises.

    If you don’t like to loose that little shelf space covering the SAE J1962 connector, you might like this http://canze.fisch.lu/reposition-the-dongle/

    Oh nice. Will have a look at something non-destructive…

    Well, the “only” destructive thing is enlarging the hole in front of the connector, hidden under the shelf. If you modify the cable, by either removing the entire black insulation, or by resoldering a round, thin, four strand cable, I guess it could be done. I couldn’t care to be honest, but that’s me!
