General information

Note: LeafSpy is designed for the 2011 thru 2017 Nissan Leaf. For the 2018 Leaf you will need LeafSpy Pro which supports all model years.

Before you purchase "Leaf Spy" or the more advanced "Leaf Spy Pro" please be sure to first install the Free version "Leaf Spy Lite" to confirm you have a phone (or android device) and ELM327 OBDII Bluetooth adapter that works with your Leaf.


Once you have the Lite version running and telling you about your battery you can then purchase either the full version "Leaf Spy" or the more advanced version "Leaf Spy Pro".


The Leaf Spy application allows anyone with a Nissan Leaf electric vehicle, Android device with Bluetooth and an 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 only one currently recommended is the Bluetooth Konnwei KW902 which still supports all the needed ELM commands to communicate with the Leaf.
