Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm happy to see that it looks like development of the Kia Soul EV
firmware is going to continue, thanks to Micheal and Geir!<br>
<br>
I went out and bought a dedicated SIM for the OVMS kit yesterday and
flashed the OVMS with 0.2 of the Kia Soul firmware and I flashed the
EEPROM as well since this is a new installation and there's nothing
on the kit yet.<br>
<br>
It's still not working unfortunately. When I plug it into the car,
the red LED comes on for a few seconds, then the red and green flash
a bit, and then they both stay off for about 10-15 seconds, then the
green flashes 10 times, then 9 times, then I think 8 or 9 times, and
then the red LED flashes a few times while the green is flashing,
and then then both start to flash on and off extremely fast, so fast
that it looks like they are both on solid. They stay like this for
about 7 or 8 seconds, and then it starts all over again from the 10,
9 on green.<br>
<br>
I've followed the Roadster guide to getting this up and running,
I've cleaned the SIM contacts and I've tried two different SIM
cards, so I'm a bit lost as to what I can try next.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any suggestions?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Rob<br>

Welcome Robert :-)<br>
<br>
Basic setup of the Kia firmware is the same as for other models.
So you can follow the Roadster guide or one of the Twizy guides
first.<br>
<br>
You wrote to me you got the module from a friend, so you should
first flash once without preserving EEPROM to get a clean config
to start with.<br>
<br>
Follow Marks link to the support FAQ if you get stuck in the
config process. To diag LED flash codes, also take a look at the
state machine diagram in the main docs folder. If you need help,
describe exactly (!) which doc you've been following and what you
have done so far.<br>
<br>
If you're stuck at 10/9... maybe you should first check if the SIM
card has contact.<br>
<br>
Kia V0.1 only reads some first status messages and obtains the VIN
if you enable CAN write access (FEATURE 15 1). I've currently got
one positive and one negative test feedback for this version.<br>

Would be great if you could also check V0.2 -- it's in my account

<br>
This _should_ be able to show some first OBD diag data dumps
(DEBUG 1 / 5)... as I don't have a Kia, I need qualified beta test
feedback.<br>

all, <br>
<br>
I'm replying to Micheal Balzer's email from yesterday. I wasn't
on the mailing list until late yesterday afternoon, hence I'm
not able to click reply. <br>
<br>
I've got a Kia Soul EV 2016 in Canada which doesn't have the UVO
services, so this is of great interest to me. <br>
<br>
I have the OVMS kit in front of me, but I'm a total newbie, so
I'm reading through some guides to get started. <br>
<br>
Just wanted to say that I'll gladly be the guinea pig for this.
<br>
<br>
What I'd REALLY like is to have a way to remotely turn on the
climate control system to warm up/cool down the car at will.
Hopefully that's a remote possibility. Tracking it is cool, but
controlling it is even better. I'm used to a Tesla (my other
car), so I am quite spoiled. <br>
<br>
I did get Micheal's firmware installed on the OVMS and hooked it
up to the car but it's not booting properly (based on status
LEDs). Can that be because of the firmware or is the bootup
sequence separate from the car-control code? <br>
<br>
The LEDs flash like - 10 Green, 9 Green, 10 Green, 9 Green, then
a few reds, then green and red flash together really fast. <br>
<br>
I tried sending text messages to the board and no dice. <br>
<br>
Any help would be appreciated, looking forward to getting this
working! <br>
<br>
Robert <br>
