I have bought the 1st version kiwi device and it does not detected my z.

I've contacted the kiwi support and still having the same result.

Rumors, that my z is being locked by nissan from scanning my own obd2.

Reason, need to pay their diagnostics device only.

Solution, please

Hey 2910 i had the same issue with reading my port as well. There is a little white push switch that fits over the 10 A Electrics fuse that comes to the dealer in the off position, they then push it in on delivery. Except my dealer didnt do that. Your switch may still in extended storage mode and therefore preventing you from reading your port. Hope that helps.

Good answer. On another note if you leave anything plugged into your OBDII it will drain your battery quicker. When I first got the Dashhawk it did this so I bought a OBDII switch that plugs in between the port and the cable.
I don't know if my Kiwi II drains the battery as it has an auto shutoff. However I do know that I have to turn it on every time I use it which is a PITA.

Are you sure that it drains your battery when plugged in? I leave mine plugged in at all times and if this is true i'll have to stop doing so... but this is the first i've ever heard of this.
