    Torque PIDs question. CEC and CED Reset?

    Hi All, This may just be for Jejusoul! I've been enjoying using the Torque Pids for Cumulative Energy Charged (CEC) and Cumulative Energy Discharged (CED) but have noticed that they appear to be totals from a previous time or maybe even overall totals for the car. I was thinking it would be...

    ODB2 USB vs. Blue Tooth

    Thanks, I read through the threads. All good info. Jejusoul, I just noticed you had a power switch on your ODB2 Cable. I don't have this right now. Would you reccomend it? And if so, why? Thanks. Nate

    ODB2 USB vs. Blue Tooth

    Hello All, I have a Konwei USB Blue Tooth ODB2 Adapter and I've had trouble with it frequently disconnecting from my device, which is an older Samsung NOTE4 phone. When the device is disconnected I peek at the adapter and it just has a single red light near the power button, no other lights...

    New software update installation (video)

    Hi All, Getting ready to do this soon. I have a 2016 Soul EV, US version, running ST.PSEV.USA.E482.150626. Has anyone successfully figured out how to backup this existing version in case you need to GO BACK?

    Winter tires on the Soul EV - Discuss please!

    Thanks to both of you. For the record YES studded tires are allowed. The tip about how much driving on ice is a good one. I'd say I'm driving MOSTLY on snowy roads that have been sanded and salted. That's not to say that icing doesn't happen, I just don't encounter it much. Again, I've...

    What's better, immediately putting a low battery on charge or leaving it 90 minutes before putting it on charge?

    I'm interested in this too. I'm new to the form BTW and I'm a proud new owner of a 2016 Soul with 15k miles on it! Today I ran it down pretty far, 14% left. I parked it and set the timer for 80% to start at 4am. That was about 3 hours ago. Should I give it a little "boost" right now to 50%...
