Hey everyone,
I'm brand new here, although I've dreamed of owning an all electric vehicle for literally decades.
These might be really obvious questions, but I'll throw them out there anyway.
I picked up this 2012 Leaf from a co-worker for almost nothing because he could no longer deal with the limited range, but it's perfect for my around-town second vehicle.
Obviously the Carwings will no longer connect due to the old 2G cell modem in the car, and from what I've read, even the 3G is (a) limited, and (b) retiring soon as well.
Is there any way to connect Carwings via a home wifi, or cellphone hotspot, or something like that?
If not, can I just tell the car to permanently work "offline"?
Should I just look at OVMS?
Can the maps and/or navi-media software/firmware be upgraded via the SD card?
Thanks for any help you all can offer. I'm really enjoying the quiet ride of new-to-me Leaf. It's got a usable range of at least 40 miles, and probably farther if I drive conservatively, which is enough for me (for right now)
