Enhance your Nissan Leaf's unique character with this plug & play replacement for the VSP (Vehicle Sounds for Pedestrians) module. The Leafy Warbler uses real-time speed and accelerator data to synthesize dynamic engine sounds or playback prerecorded sound samples as you drive.

Compatibility

Works with Nissan Leaf AZE0 & ZE1 models, manufactured from 2013 to 2025. Replaces VSP part numbers 285N6-3NF0C and 285N6-5SK0A.

Controls

The Leafy Warbler can be controlled by placing the car in neutral and using the ZE1 ProPILOT buttons on the steering wheel. It is also compatible with stock VSP Mute buttons.

Volume up:
RES +
Volume down:
SET -
Mute:
CANCEL
Mode:
(distance)

Alternatively, dedicated buttons (not included) can be connected to the expansion port using a standard JST XHP-4 connector. A compatible cable is available as an optional add-on.

Installation

The VSP can be found in one of two locations. In earlier models (up to around 2017) it is located behind the glove box. In later models it is behind the instrument cluster. There is some overlap, so if you don't find the VSP in one location try the other.

Follow local laws and regulations regarding vehicle repairs, modifications and safety. Do not install or use the Leafy Warbler if doing so is prohibited or could cause a safety hazard.

Customisation

The Leafy Warbler can be reprogrammed using the on-board USB‑C port. You can download the source code and modify or recompile it using the open-source Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ SDK.
