I've added the nickname suggestion, the VIN isn't something a normal user will know.

And yes on the lower case characters.

I labeled it module ID because it's primary use is for the module wifi AP. You can enter a different vehicle ID in step 4. Both are user-entered fields.

Regarding the visibility of the AP, that's the way an AP is meant to be. There is no special security issue arising from that (other than running an AP), and
there is no security benefit from hiding the AP. If users are concerned about running an AP, they can choose to disable the AP mode after finishing the wizard.

Thanks, and thanks for the review!
