Mark has asked me to improve documentation from the user's point of view and I am stuck on some Leaf and ACC points that I am hoping people can help with.
1) Leaf questions 1.1) Does the TCU still need to be disconnected for Gen 2 cars to enable remote access?
Yes. After the OVMS wakes the car up, the TCU puts the car back to sleep if it is connected. As far as I know this is true for all models 2011-2017. In 2016 & 2017 model year cars with a TCU, the hands-free bluetooth microphone is routed through the TCU, so you can't unplug the TCU without breaking bluetooth hands free calling. I haven't explored a workaround beyond staring at the wiring diagram. I have read that if you try longer and harder you can win the fight with the TCU but I haven't tried this.
1.2) Has anyone used or tested charge start/stop on a Nissan Leaf? Someone made a comment about needing to use the CAN Write feature of v3 to start-stop charging and cant find reference.
There is no CAN write configuration in the v3, CAN write is always enabled and hence you don't need to enable it.
