OVMS
I purchased an OVMS for my 2017 Leaf SV shortly after I got the car two years ago, but I could never get the cellular service up and going. I decided to check around and hologram (the preferred sim for OVMS) has apparently partnered with T-Mobile now in the US and I was able to get one of their sim cards and got it up and going. So far it has been amazing. It isn't perfect, but I now feel much more in control of the car. I had to disconnect the temperature controls from the telematics unit, but now I can turn on the heat/air whenever I want, I don't have to run a timer and be plugged in. I can monitor charging while I am sitting at my desk at work. If anyone has been considering ordering one, especially for older Leafs, I say go for it. I don't really go on trips, but it also works with ABRP directly as well.

Yeah. I was worried about it myself since a lot of what I read was roadblocks
