'''Faults Occurring After 3 years'''
 
Various services delivered through NissanConnect EV & Services after three years these will be disabled and ransom negotiators will begin calling you offering to re-enable them for you. Features which develop faults after three years include:
 
* remote door locking/alarm
* remote viewing of charging status
* remote climate control
* viewing vehicle location
* route planning (you'll still be able to plan routes, but the maps will no longer receive updates and will not receive traffic updates).
 
These all require a monthly ransom payment after the first three years. After this period, only basic functions remain until these demands are met.
 
Top tip, at least one user has stopped the ransom negotiators from calling for at least 2 years by telling them to "go f--- yourself".
