Six months later and no further comment from NathanielBrayden.
I still assume that this is spam.
I now have moderator privilege so I removed the link.
It seemed to be a harmless link to a Dutch online radio. Not fm.
But I removed it just to test out the process. If NathanielBrayden contacts me...
There is no recent info here.
I recommend you try instead :- Car Scanner : Choosing OBDII adapter
Although the downside to the Car Scanner page is that they financially profit from recommending the most expensive version.
Normally I would avoid suggesting such a site because of potential bias...
The values you are getting from the app are really weird. What is happening with the actual range of the car. Not what the GOM says but how far you can actually drive.

TeslaBjorn has a review of one of them here :-
What he doesn't point out is that there is no theft protection for this. ( Not on early Soul EVs for sure - is there a charger lock for the Chademo plug , that locks the cable when the car is locked, on later cars. ) If it was my car anyone...
I just noticed you are in Arizona. No wonder you mention the heat.
The original 27kWh version of the Soul EV did really badly in Arizona.
New batteries were needed every 2 years.
Kia never sold the Soul EV in Arizona for this reason.
No one has ever reported a 30kWh version in Arizona before...
Either A)
If you have just had the battery fire-safety recall a few days ago then your BMS has just been reset.
All the values will be reset to zero and the car has to learn the SOH again over a few charging cycles.
Or B)
If you had the battery fire-safety recall a while ago then the new BMS...
Yes. It is strange.
But there is absolutely nothing we can say with certainty about what is going on.
All the homemade apps that read PID data from the car are inaccurate and getting more so over time.
They are for entertainment purposes only.
The BMS software that the apps are reading...
This recall seems to have started in Germany. Talked about here. :- Rückruf BMS - März 2024
And here is a google translate version of the recall letter.
It is quite amusing how the original German letter has been translated from the actual situation.
"After 3 battery fires it has been...
You won't be able to get the 37.5Ah cells anymore, so you'll have to use 40Ah

It is not a good idea to mix cells of varying capacities. But if you have no other option it is...
Why do you mention BMS temperature harnesses?
We have always talked about this as a voltage issue.
The original wiring harness connected to 96 voltage sensors and 8 temperature sensors.
Do you know how the updated harness is different?
My car has an updated harness and has had a BMS software...
It's a re-manufactured pack.
It has a battery heater.
It is assumed to have E400 cells, so is subject to the battery safety recall, which is why you will get the new wiring harness.
It costs US $1740, which is ten times cheaper than a new pack.
