I think yes, assuming nobody grabbed an API key out of the Mazda app or something.

Quite often these integrations just take the authentication token or cookie during OAuth or the normal login process.

Actions like that would be impossible with WEI.

It's a good thing it is getting changed, not a good thing it got pushed back farther because of them. Already been pushed back 4 months
