[Ovmsdev] Distinguishing between eNiro and Kona

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

In general, it is best to differentiate different models/features based on CAN bus traffic - although I realise that can be non-trivial at least when starting a project and only your own car’s logs to see. Perhaps others can collaborate with log captures from different variants?

You can have a config-based override / setting for this. It is easy to check IsDefined for a particular config value, to see if the override is set.

Regards, Mark.
