I bet it was an extra $10 to get a LTE chipset for the cars for the last few years. Probably would have made the data side cheaper too. I don't have much sympathy for Nissan.

Guess again: if they had opted for LTE, the data costs would have been much more expensive...and the additional speed would ultimately be wasted on a system that requires low data rates. Hopefully the choice of the 3G will allow them to provide the CarWings function for little to no (as has been since the first Leaf was sold) cost to owners.
Guess Nissan isn't as dumb as you think. :shock:
Can confirm - have done extensive R&D on cellular based M2M products.Rebel44 said:Thats complete nonsense - Nissan will obtain dataplan for those modules, based on amount of data transfers needed - 3G or LTE doesnt make any difference in this.
3G and LTE HW cost almost the same
note: I work in telecommunications

Does this mean we don't have to delete our accounts and we'll be safe?

I received an update for the Android version today, including the extensive list quoted above. And I'm able to login and talk to the car again.ironmanco said:That's hilarious that the details of the update has a single line that states:
"~ Bug fixes"
I also updated the iOS version to v4.05 (via the "hamburger menu") and it didn't work. It kept complaining about the user id / password being invalid.DNAinaGoodWay said:Just updated my iPhone app to v 4.0.5, didn't work at first, so called support and they updated something on their end and it seems to work now.

Same deal w/the version I downloaded for Android (v4.0.2 via the "hamburger menu").
I think before, you had to use a username that wasn't/didn't need to be an email address. Now that id doesn't work anymore. I had to put in my registered email address w/the password I was using all along for it to work.
