Hi there, How can I prove it's a bad cell. You mention a notification... The SOH is not showing anything wrong with the car. I'm not sure they connected it to a system which output the BMS info -- do dealers even have that? To be honest, they have pretty much no idea how to diagnose EV...

In our experience, the guessometer has been pretty accurate and the car really does have much less range than when it was new. I just don't understand how the capacity can go down so much even with Kia leaving a buffer of battery capacity that they slowly use through the life of the car. Is...

Hi all, Our Canadian (Quebec) 2016 Kia SoulEV Premium has 35,000km on it. When it was new, we would get about 148km range on a nice day. The car is now two years old with 35,000km and the range on a nice day is about 115km. That's a degradation of 22%. I was wondering if that seemed normal...

I'm pretty sure each update file is coded for the specific head unit...

Hi Jon, Did you purchase the update for $199 that includes Android Auto and Carplay? Did you test the functionality of either of those? Thanks! Robert

Cool, thanks!

Has anyone in Canada purchased the upgrade? I'm curious if it works well and is worth it. Specifically the Android Auto functionality. Thanks!

Hmmm... interesting to see that you have the same issue. I'm surprised more owners don't have the issue though. We don't use the timer, so I can't tell you if we have the same problem. I'm really hoping OVMS will be able to control HVAC soon, because it's really a pain not to have UVO in...

Hi all, We have a 2016 SoulEV and the navi just randomly (we can't find a pattern) switches between km and miles. We are in Canada and want it to stay on kms. Does anyone else have this problem? Do you know how to solve it? Thanks!

I was completely wrapped up in technical details that I forgot to say congratulations on your baby daughter, Geir!! I remember when my daughter was that age. She was my life and I wanted to bring her everywhere with me. Enjoy the experience!

Geir, I'm happy to see that you're still tinkering! If I had a CAN bus reader, I'd try to sniff the lock/unlock/heat on commands, but unfortunately I don't... Are we sure that those commands are on the bus the OVMS is connected to?

Hi Geir! Haven't heard from you in a while. Was just wondering if you've had any luck with the remote lock/unlock going into production code (and maybe remote heating? :)). Please let us know, thanks! Rob

Holy cow, that's amazing!!! Congratulations, that's a huge step! Can't wait to see that in action. So (and I know this is jumping the gun), do you think that means there might be a possibility of turning on the HVAC from the OVMS? :)

That makes total sense, thanks. :) Once I have a more permanent installation, I'll be able to monitor TPMS while we're moving. Very cool!

Thanks Geir, I'll check out your code repository for the SMS instructions. I don't see a way to send them from the app, but I'll look for the beta version, maybe I need to sideload it. I also got my wireless provider to give me free unlimited text messages, so that's good. :) I want to...

Hi Geir, I finally received my OVMS kit. I programmed your 0.42 on it just now and the OVMS app is connecting to it and getting some information, but the TPMS info isn't showing up in the app. The TPMS screen looks like: https://goo.gl/photos/n4AQAjGrXUuarFwcA I was wondering -- how are you...

This is my dream list as well. :)

Hi Geir, I'm sorry I haven't been very helpful with this project. I'm still waiting on my own OVMS kit which should arrive soon. Then I'll install it in the car and have access to more information, etc... I was wondering. You mention poll states in your last post. Did you find a way to...

Well, here's hoping the North American dealerships get them in time for winter!!

Geir, you're kicking butt! The addition of TPMS so deserves a 0.4 version number though. :) :)
