Assistance is appreciated as I haven't had time to try to override the TCU using the OVMS or
find an alternative solution to prevent the TCU overriding the messages while still allowing the
hands free microphone to work.

If a CARWINGS, Nissan Connect or the TCU hardware is fitted, the OVMS messages will be overridden
by the TCU and when the OVMS tries to wake the car, it will wake up and then go back to sleep.

In model year 2016 Nissan changed how remote commands are handled, switching from the EV bus to
the Car bus and changing the messages. The OVMS defaults to pre-2016 behaviour.
