Thanks Tom, I will relay this on.

I have also updated your permissions on the site, to be able to see this and other support tickets.

When I use their version of the OVMS app it just crashes repeatedly after I input my car's settings so I can't use it. However when I use the play market version of the app, there is no A/C button but it runs solidly and I can see my car's information (it works). Is there a way to turn the A/C on and off with this version of the app? Also, I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that the latest hardware already has the features built in and no flashing is necessary.

I don't have a model with navigation or car wings so I don't think I have the option mentioned about when to allow remote A/C with respect to SOC level. Is it possible that there's a way to set this option with the OVMS?

Older than 2013 may require extra hardware to enable climate control when the car is asleep. 2013 through 2015 use a different remote climate control to that of 2016 & 2017. You have to set the module year configuration option to tell the OVMS which car you have. 2018 Leafs are not yet supported.
