    Thank you. I have just completed an HID upgrade of the fog lights. Wanted to do them first to see the power usage. Next to do the headlights.

    40 amp vs. 75 amp L2

    My main question would be if there would be any advantage of installing a 240 volt 75 Amp EVSE over 40 Amp for the KIA Soul other than not having to upgrade in future? I am designing the electrical for my garage for contractor to install and my research I found the 75 amp EVSE. Since we are...

    Day time running lights

    Update on US version, attempted to install a DRL aftermarket harness, thought it was a long shot but worth a try. As expected did not work. Because my car is a lease this is the last attempt at doing this. I'm not going to import headlights and hope I can connect the car control computer on a...

    How does UVO communicate?

    Day time running lights

    For the version that have DRL can you please tell me if the LEDs are noticeably brighter when the headlights are off? I'm thinking of purchasing a set of headlights from Canada that I can wire up to use here in US. Or can someone tell me the part number for the headlight that has the DRL, so...

    Multimedia system Versions and Updates ?

    I have to agree, I have been a loyal KIA owner now for many years and own the flagship, K900, as well as the Soul EV. I am very upset with their penny pinching with the upgrades on both cars. Really $40 for the SD card, If you are going to charge for the card give the option to have it...

    Day time running lights

    After extensive research and tracing wires, at least the US version I have, the OEM DRL option is just not deactivated but totally removed. The wires required are missing in the wire loom and even the 9th pin to and in the headlight for the DRL is missing. This is not even knowing if the BCM has...

    Day time running lights

    Well, the meeting with the dealership EV tech was pointless. Was not even going to look into it. I was able to activate other KIA models before myself so just going todo the same again.

    Day time running lights

    The switch is the same, although that turned on the marker lights not true DRL. Doing so also turns on the tail lights and side marker lights. I am looking for DRL that are always on, 50% brighter that current LED and you can leave the switch in auto as in our K9. I will be talking to an KIA...
