Has anyone reversed engineered Carwings server APIs yet ?
"Today I got curious about the value SOC displayed in percent on the Web portal. I was wondering why this data didn't appear on the iPhone app.
I used IE debug mode to snoop at the data received from the Carwings servers when I hit the refresh button. I looked through the "Response Body" and found no trace of the SOC expressed in percent. All there was about the battery was "CurrenrBattery:5" (where 5 is the number of bars lit). My conclusion was that the website merely shows the # of bars multiplied by 8.33. The Carwings portal is no more precise than the iPhone App.
I imaging that other owners got to the same conclusion long before me. However, I didn't find any discussion thread about the guts of the Carwings web portal and iPhone app. Has anyone looked at he protocol used to login into the Carwings server and how to initiate a query to get the vehicle status? If so, has anyone tried to build their own "client" (web, PC or iPhone based) to replace Nissan's Carwings web portal? I just did a 10min preliminary investigation... But it looks quite doable.
I am growing tired of several things about the iPhone app. I was very disappointed by the first "real" update (1.0.3) and I am seriously considering making my own to address those issues :
- In case of timeout it doesn't automatically sign back in (have to redo whatever command each time).
- No way to program a periodic background status query to keep the app up do date all the time.
- iPhone only... I own an iPhone so it doesn't annoy me but I may want to switch to WP7 in the near future."
