    Cabin air filter - 2020 Limited EV

    Dead easy to change and dirt cheap to buy, personally I would say DIY it every time and save wating money on paying a dealer to do it (or not) because if my own experience is anything to go by the dealers rarely do change them themselves even though they charge for them as part of the so called...

    Should I Keep My Wrecked Kia Soul EV for Parts?

    @JMMaui Use the spare battery to make a home storage power wall, someone's bound to have done it using Kia batteries by now!

    12V battery in 2016 Kia Soul EV keeps dying

    The little battery doesn't have a particularly high capacity many are replaced unnecessarily imho as they could be masking a potential different fault. The cars don't usually have much of a parasitic load but this can increase significantly especially if an ECU crashes or hangs without shutting...

    2015 Soul EV: My Battery Replacement Story

    @Kish Thankyou for making the time to share this very interesting reading A couple of things spring to mind I wonder if the previous owner overheated the battery regularly as well by doing regular long trips, the cumulative result may have been the degradation you inherited. I also wonder if...

    Soul Spy?

    Apologies I have not read all 41 pages of this thread to check if this question has been answered already: Has anyone captured the sequence of Can Bus messages from the timer that starts and stops the cabin preheating and also whether there is really any physical dependency on the mains being...

    Remote HVAC operation

    I agree it will be via Can Bus and sending can bus messages remotely is not impossible with the correct hardware. I think my question is best placed in the Soul Spy thread It very much depends if anyone has captured the sequence of Can Bus messages yet that start and stop the preheating and...

    Remote HVAC operation

    Hi I have a question Do the Souls with UVO have the ability to start the heater remotely even if not plugged into an EVSE? I have a UK Soul EV and Kia decided we did not warrant receiving UVO in the UK! I am pondering how easy it might be to add a remote control and obviously if the UVO...

    Mud flaps

    Setting up Torque to show BMS data

    I would like to say thanks for the effort put in to generate these custom PIDs I find the info especially TPMS really useful. Why KIA only provided a TPMS dash warning light beats me when real time info is available. only one problem with Torque is I wish there was a GUI based Dash editor! I...
