Does anyone know if its possible to replace the head units in the Gen 1 leafs?
This article refers to the 40kWh battery and a $50k AUD price, which sounds about right. However, I'm guessing that the reference to 400km range must be a mistake because that sounds like the expected range for the upcoming 60kWh version which I'm sure will be more expensive than that.

Nope, not a mistake, (but also not true)
400km was what Nissan told the world press in '17 when they announced it, ( the article you link to is from then)
It was under the JC08 test cycle, so legally they can claim it in Japan, but it doesn't really translate into real life.... (pretty much like ICE fuel economy numbers)
Here is the Nissan press release from japan that quotes 400km
The US one at the same time quotes 150miles (240km)
Thanks for clarifying. I'm sure that will confuse a lot of people!

Gen 1 Leaf S - can be replaced for any aftermarket, G & X (with two rows of buttons on the sides) has climate control and charge timer integrated. Hence replacement for aftermarket is not desirable. Few years ago I have imported 2013 head unit from fresh USA wreck, checked pin-outs - it is plug and play and compatible with Japanese Leaf. You would need both rows of buttons as well, Japanese buttons will also work with 1 audio feature missing. I've made the stand to check those on the bench. At a time there were a number of faulty AV units on eBay sold by someone close to the service department and selling those from the dumpster. Identifiable by the specific markings.
Off topic - I am after few LBC from any Leaf year/model for experiments, most likely those will be destroyed, hence not prepared to pay much.

Looks like Nissan will sell only one spec level of 40Kwh Leaf in OZ, so I'm expecting something similar here?

It would be great to have local parts, battery refurb and so on. I guess we'll see next month when the government unveils its EV incentives whether this is likely.
I hope someone buys them. When the Leaf came here as a NZ new car, it was not a hot seller. Everyone wanted Nissan to sell new Leafs here, to other people, but unfortunately nobody wanted to buy it for themselves.
Given the lack of fast charging stations in Aus I'm surprised they aren't leading out with the 60kWh model. Range is going to be severely limited in summer with the A/C on 100% non-stop.

Most likely because they have no idea when the 60Kwh unit will be available for small market delivery...
As it is the 40Kwh won't launch in OZ until "May or June next year"
Maybe they need these as optional extras

Ha! They'd be better off mounting them vertically to use as sails ...
