List,

I'm pleased to introduce the dedicated OVMS Kia Soul developer (he
should have subscribed by now): please welcome Geir :-)

As the OBD polling support for modes 02, 10 & 21 basically works, I now
have pushed my latest changes including Kia V0.2 to the main repository.

The Kia VIN currently needs to be cut by 3 bytes because the car_vin can
only take 17 chars. As RAM is tight I decided to omit the first three
chars. There would be space for a 20 bytes car_vin, but then the VIN is
not that important IMO.

You're right, the aux battery voltage should be in row 4 byte 5, and
there is no intended offset, so that might be a bug.

Glad to have you on board :-)

Regards,
Michael
