Bringing your navigator back online (single SD slot)

One SD slot only

This guide is for navigation units with only one SD slot. If your unit has two, follow other guide instead.

This guide walks you through changing your navigator’s APN settings and server URL so it can reach OpenCARWINGS again. It applies to the AZE0 and ZE1 (30/40 kWh, 2016–2019). Follow each step carefully.

Step 1: Back up or clone your SD card

Make a backup of your navigation SD card, and ideally a clone as well in case the old card fails. A clone needs a new SD card that you will then use in the navigator.

Danger

At the very least, keep a backup of your original SD card.

1. Download LeafSDTools Companion.

2. Use LeafSDTools Companion to make a backup of your original SD card.

3. (Only if you are making a clone) Restore the backup to the new SD card.

4. Select the SD card in LeafSDTools Companion, open the Fix partition tab, click Apply Fix and wait for it to finish.

5. After the fix, more than one partition should be visible.

   

Step 2: Edit the navigation unit settings

With the SD card plugged into your computer, one of its partitions contains the file PRIVATE/CWS/AP/CWS_SYS.

1. Copy CWS_SYS from the SD card somewhere else, for example your Desktop or Documents folder.

2. Open https://opencarwings.viaaq.eu/navi in your browser.

3. Choose SD Card and select the CWS_SYS file. The fields should fill in and Connection Profile 1 should appear. If not, please contact the developer.

   

4. Name your connection profile after your mobile operator.

   

5. Change the APN name in the apn [cws] field. Depending on your SIM provider you may also need to change the APN user and password in usr [cws] and psswrd [cws].

   

6. Change the server URL in the url [cws] field.

   Server URL

   Original: http://biz.nissan-gev.com/WARCondelivbas/it-m_gw10/
   New:      http://biz.viaaq.eu/WARCondelivbas/it-m_gw10/

   Original:

   

   Modified:

   

7. Scroll to the bottom and click Export. A new settings file is downloaded. Copy it onto the SD card at /PRIVATE/CWS/AP/CWS_SYS, and confirm if asked to overwrite the existing file.

   

Caution

The new settings file must have exactly the same file name and path as the original: /PRIVATE/CWS/AP/CWS_SYS.

Step 3: Try NissanConnect services

Put the SD card back in the navigator and check whether any of the data channels are accessible.

Congratulations!

If all steps completed successfully, your navigation unit is back online. Functions like send location to car, telemetry data and more should work again.
