Soul EV Spy Questions and Answers

This one DOES work perfectly (not sure how you define this but I get all the screens with data) - my Soul is a 2020 64kW but the app was designed for earlier Souls initially. It is still being developed remember.

Understand your dilemma Neel!

I went through a similar process when I looked for one but luckily picked a good one right away.

You can actually buy them directly from Konnwei BTW and I am pretty sure they would work. I found out AFTER I got the one from eBay. I thought they would not sell to individuals - I was wrong.

Reporting a positive result of using this Soul EV Spy-Lite App with my 2015 Soul EV. I have a Konnwei KW902 (from Amazon). I followed the simple instructions, and with my Android tablet, was able to get many (9) screens of data, which are posted: https://tinyurl.com/wh8ctrp

I'm happy with a Batt. SOH= 91.7 % . Car has 17K miles , always garaged, in Long Beach, CA. Does this SOH seem OK considering ?

Many thx to EVRanger and this forum.

My 2015, never garaged, was around 95% SOH at 71K km in May. Usually charged every night to 80% using 3,5 kW home charger. Around 5-6000 km driven using DC charging at ~ 45 kW. Occasionally driven at 130 km/h, but mostly much slower. Rarely discharged lower than 20%. Perhaps the SOH drop is as much caused by the passing of time, as by the discharging and charging.

Perhaps someone can help with this. I just bought a 2016 Soul EV+.
Bought this dongle: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00 ... UTF8&psc=1
Which Torque reports as firmware 1.5 and which reports just fine for my other vehicles, as well as talking to the ECU on the Kia.
Although Soul EV Spy sees the dongle, and says it is connecting every (default) 3 seconds, the dongle only shows the power light - there is no flicker of the BT light. And Soul EV Spy reports nothing for the Kia.
Vehicle is powered on.
Did I miss an obvious step somewhere?
Any help gratefully received.

I think I discovered that Soul EV Spy doesn't handle negative temperatures properly.

Yesterday it was -33c here and when I checked my battery pack temperatures they all read 253.0, 247.0, and like that. When I rechecked them after driving about 20 mins a couple had crept above zero and read 3.0 which looked correct.

Same thing with the BMS screen, all the temps were 253, 251, etc. I assume because they were below zero.

The outside temp value was correct, however.

A wrinkle in using Soul EV Spy?

Hope someone has an answer to this issue.
I plugged everything in as normal and tried to connect but it went into a loop of connect/disconnecting. Tried it two days running with the same result.
