OVMS ZE1 (40kWh & 64kWh 2018+) Nissan LEAF CAN tap cable available

Here is another one for the waiting list. thx.

A question: From the picture it looks like the cable has ODB connectors. The OVMS hardware has a DB9 connector. Do you need another cable to connect them? A regular ODB connector cable?

You can’t use the OBD port on the ZE1 Leaf because it’s connected to a CAN gateway which is not powered while the car is turned off

I know that. But the cable pictured by OP in the first post looks like it has ODB connectors instead of a DB9 connector. the OVMS box has a DB9 connector as far as I know. How can you connect the cable pictured to the OVMS box?

Is there any update on this? Really missing the remote features on my Leaf!

I tried to build a cable on my own, but unfortunately something went wrong and the communication to my parking break was lost.

So would like to join the waiting list.

I got everything I needed to make mine. Have you been able to determine what error may have caused this problem?

I guess when I removed the new harness, the connection came back?

UPDATE May 2026: manufacture of the CAN tap cable has not worked out, I’m afraid we don’t have an ETA for when one might be available. Very sorry about this, I will keep you updated.

Hi Glynn,

Are you planning to continue with this project?

Hope so :slight_smile:

David.

Oh yes, OVMS is going strong. It’s not my project, there are many contributors. Checkout the github: GitHub - openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3: Open Vehicle Monitoring System - Version 3 · GitHub

Our role is mostly just a reseller, hence why I don’t have direct control over manufacturing.

Can be added to waiting list as well please. Be nice to get back battery level in Home Assistant, and pre-heating functionality before next winter,

Also would be interested.

Thank you for this wonderful project! Can I be added to the waiting list? Thanks.
