&gt; Can I turn this feature off?<p>The article says that you can, by disabling CarWings&#x2F;NissanConnect. Which you should probably do if you&#x27;re a connected Leaf owner, as it lets anyone control AC&#x2F;heating <i>and</i> gives them historic driving information (date, distance and &quot;driving efficiency&quot;).<p>&gt; How does it communicate?<p>Lost the source (maybe one of the forums linked from <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.troyhunt.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;02&#x2F;controlling-vehicle-features-of-nissan.html?" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.troyhunt.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;02&#x2F;controlling-vehicle-features...</a>) but I read the CarWings service sends an SMS to the car, which contacts the webservice to return its information.
