[Ovmsdev] Distinguishing between eNiro and Kona

[Timo Penttilä]

Looks nice Pete.
My only objection is that it should be the other way around.
Km and left hand drive as default 😉.

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?


Thanks - Googling I don't believe the VIN number has enough info, as you say trying to figure out much from OBD data is challenging to say the least :-)

I do have the features I need implemented locally and it appears to work for what I need :

I'll ponder this some more before creating a pull request.





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.

Hi All,

In trying to get my UK Kona Electric working I've realised that in the eNiro code we need to distinguish between :

* Kia eNero and Hyundai Kona ( console odometer is different PID location )
* Country ( console odometer can be in Miles or Kilometres )
* Left hand drive and right hand drive ( door PID's are associated with driver position not fixed left/right )

I'm wondering whats the best way to do this.

I believe the VIN number can tell us the first one - Hyundai is KMH and Kia KN, so the odometer code could
look at the VIN number to choose where to extract the odometer info.

However I'm not sure on the others.  I can't tell if the VIN number gives this level of detail.

My UK Kona ( right hand dive, uses miles ) VIN starts with KMHK581GUKU - but I've not found a definitive way to
fully decode the VIN for eNiro and Kona Electric.

I guess the other option is to add some car specific features.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Pete
