Your TCU is sending the CC On frame every 100ms for about 2 seconds. I'm 
only sending it once, which was enough for my car.

I added sending the 0x68c frame 50ms before the CC On command. If you do

git remote add carrott.org 
https://carrott.org/git/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System.git
git fetch carrott.org
git checkout carrott.org/nissan-leaf-climate-control

and you should have my code. Otherwise a hex file is at 
https://carrott.org/OVMS.X.production.hex

Could someone try it with a Gen 2 Leaf and see if remote climate control 
works? I'm abusing the homelink command (number 24) which I send with 
the perl client in Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/client :

./cmd.pl 24

It won't do anything if the car is already turned on. To turn off the 
climate control, turn the car on, or send command 6

./cmd.pl 6

Savvy CAN looks quite interesting for reverse engineering CAN bus 
messages. In the past I've used cansniffer from the SocketCAN suite, but 
your tool looks much more comprehensive.

Have you seen Wireshark? I've written a partial dissector for the Gen 1 
Leaf messages at 
https://carrott.org/git/leaf-can-dissector.git/blob/HEAD:/leaf.lua which 
makes looking at what is happening on the bus quite nice after someone 
has done the reverse engineering and written the dissector.

In the same repo is csv-pcap-converter.py which is a primitive converter 
from your csv format to pcap format, so you can load some data into 
Wireshark. It reads stdin and writes stdout.

Interestingly there is a disagreement between tcpdump and wireshark's 
first layer CAN dissector about whether the can id should be big endian 
or little endian. I wrote pcap-canid-endian-swap.py to swap the byte order.
