    Installing a Dash Cam with Parking Motion detection

    I have installed the VIOFO A119 w/GPS from SPYTEC with capacitor instead of battery, less heat problem, for $99 and it gives me great pictures. It is very unobtrusive and I also bought the polarizing filter $15 to cut out reflections works well. This is my third car cam I had a Mini 0503...

    High pitch whine?

    No high pitch whine in my Soul even though I am very sensitive to high pitch sounds. As mentioned there is a pedestrian alert noise maker up to 18.5 mph (30 kph) that from the cockpit has a sort of chime sound. Goes away after 18.5 mph. I am amazed by the solid quietness of this vehicle.

    recommended obd2 adapter?

    Thank you Soulev2016, I will give it a try, too busy for the next month, but sometime in the next couple months. I will buy the OBDLink LX unless you think another is better. Again thanks for your help.

    recommended obd2 adapter?

    recommended obd2 adapter?

    But, the data on them says NO to electric cars. How are you using them on the Soul? Can I, the novice, expect any difficulty setting it up on the Soul after they specifically say not for electric vehicles?

    recommended obd2 adapter?

    Confused?? Specs on the LX says on all cars 'except' electric. Please inform me of how it is used. I am a new Soul owner and would very much like to have the Torque for my use.

    Roll call for PacNW Soul EV owners!

    Thanks Bernard, I have now charged three times with 120v , 14-11-16 hours each, probably good enough for us. But of course, I would like to have the 240 charge ability, I am a toy person, hence the Soul. We live in a retirement village and the electric is provided, so no rebate. Even though we...
