Can it be used to turn off Nissan telemetry, AKA spy mode?

I hope that never happens in this country. If you purchase a car, you own it so the government has no right to tell you what you can or can't do with it. I know this is not the case for a few things now, like emissions and safety stuff, but it needs to stop.

I saw a you tube video of someone saying just track down the telematics fuse and pull it and you're done on some cars, but others will generate an error or light on the dash. Maybe someone has tried this?

Disconnect the Wi-Fi and cellular antennas. The car will permanently think it's in the boonies. You also need to review the settings and operation of your smartphone. I have heard that sometimes the vehicle data can be back-channeled through a smartphone bluetooth connection. I would love...

Maybe it would be easier to just pull a fuse to disable the TCU? Or does anyone know how to get to the shark fin? You could probably just unplug the cell antenna. If you are like me, I just use android auto on my phone, so car cell connection is pointless.

Probably the same. I got off ebay from a junkyard. It was from another nissan model. Don't remember what, but found the info from another thread in this community. I also got the tow hook and made sure it fit. That was part of the normal emergency kit that Nissan stupidly decided to not include...

Suggest you actually mount the wheel front and back to make sure it will work. I did with mine and have peace of mind. The wheel must have a very deep offset to clear the brake caliper, especially in the rear.

I was taught growing up to never borrow for a car. I'm 67, had probably over a dozen cars and always paid cash. Great advice.

Love the cloud. Like you I've had a few 'z's' . But my definition is a little more loose. I had an original 69 model 240 in my teen years around 77 to 78. I had to sell it because of too many speeding tickets among other things. I had 2 240SX's, both 94's, bought new. First one got rear ended...

Good to know, thank you.

Where is this hidden lever in case I have trouble?

On most cars the slip joint is on the tranny end and is designed to get lubrication from the tranny fluid. I love the design. Didn't know what a great idea it was until I had a shaft drive motorcycle that doesn't have this feature and you have to disassemble the whole back end every 40K miles to...

The maintenance schedule lists in periodic maintenance "Propeller Shaft" - Is this the drive shaft? What would the maintenance entail? On every car I've ever owned it is maintained on an as needed basis - if you get vibration or something, fix it. Otherwise no periodic maintenance. What am I...

I have a pretty decent gauge so am surprised it's off by that much. I'll look into getting another...

Wouldn't it also take into account the front wheel velocities? Seems like non driven wheel speeds would be much more accurate way to determine slip.

Interesting point. I was wondering about tire pressure. I have my doubts about the accuracy of the TPMS system. I have inflated the tires to proper pressure measured with a pretty accurate gauge and the TPMS thinks they are all 6lb over pressure. Maybe I should look into that.

When I first got my car I was impressed with traction control since it's easy to break the backend loose. It would hold it straight. But recently I've had a couple instances where I was pulling into traffic and it fishtailed. My question is, is it now not working? Or am I expecting too much? In...

My question is not about the release height or height relative to the seat which is probably adjustable. My question is about the height from the floor, which is based on design of clutch pedal and wouldn't be adjustable.

My question is not about the release point, but why are the brake and clutch arm length not the same? I've heard all this stuff about heel toe shifting. Maybe something to do with that? I have no idea what heel toe shifting is. I'm 66 and have had many cars, only 2 autos in all my years. I've...

Mine is the same - clutch a bit higher.
