I was mentioning this issue with my weird little car in another thread.
My car is old enough that it uses a 3g radio to connect to the internet so that things like the NissanConnect app will work. I don't know how many 3g towers there are, but the app functionality definitely doesn't work. The rest of the car works fine, all the accessories work, but the app doesn't.
The car is a 2018, which i think is before the push for subscription heated seats.
As a side note, heated seats suck, I don't get the appeal. It makes me feel like I'm wetting myself.
I've no clue if I will like them or not. This car I have now is the first I've had with heated seats and steering wheel, I've only turned them on to see if they work, because every day since I bought the car has been over 90°F/32°C.
