Hi all,<br>
<br>
I will definitely hook up to the diag port. I do have a USB-serial
cable. Thanks for that suggestion!<br>
<br>
Does anyone know if one can power the unit "on a bench" using a 12V
adapter? I read that the OBDII port only gives out a max of 100mA,
is that true? If it is true, a small 12V adapter should be fine...<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>

The other thing to suggest is if you have a USB-serial cable and a
laptop, you can plug into the DIAG port at 9600baud, and have a
look at the messages from the modem. That should tell you exactly
what is going on. But if you count the blinks, and they go 10 then
9 then reset then 10 then 9, it is most likely the SIM connection.

again,<br class="">
<br class="">
I'm really not having any luck here.<br class="">
<br class="">
I've tried three different SIM cards now, and they all
do exactly the same thing. I haven't read anywhere
about the red and green lights being on simultaneously
and flashing like crazy so I'm really starting to
suspect that the hardware is defective. I wish I had
another kit lying around.<br class="">
<br class="">
The kit I have is from my friend but it's brand new, it
has never been used in a car before.<br class="">
<br class="">
I'm wondering if I should just order another kit to see
if the same thing happens.<br class="">
<br class="">
I did have a question. If I simply power the OBDII port
on the kit with 12V, should it power up normally? I
could test that...<br class="">
<br class="">
Geir, my car is in Canada, so I don't have UVO services
unfortunately, hence the reason I'd really like to get
this going! I'm on the KIA Soul EV forums, and once I
have this working, I'll try to rope in someone in the US
who would be willing to monitor their CAN Bus so we can
snoop and try to copy the HVAC calls.<br class="">

green 8 + red 4 = SIM lock... I don't know how a phone
could use a locked SIM for data, but just try setting

<br class="">
Some (very few) SIMs just don't work in the OVMS, it's
unlikely you stumbled across two of them.<br class="">
<br class="">
I once had the effect of a flash process that failed
without any error output, so you also should try
re-flashing.<br class="">
<br class="">
Of course the hardware can be broken too, i.e. bad SIM
slot soldering causing data errors or bad antenna
connection. As your module has been used before (I
assume?) that's quite unlikely.<br class="">

I tried the SIM card in a cell phone. Worked

I doubt it's locked, it's brand new. The phone

Can the OVMS kit be defective? Does that happen?<br

Could the KIA firmware specifically have caused an

class=""> Hi all,<br class="">
<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
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
class="">
<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
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
class="">
<br class="">
Does anyone have any suggestions?<br
class="">
<br class="">
Thanks!<br class="">

Welcome Robert :-)<br class="">
<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
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
class="">
<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
If you're stuck at 10/9... maybe you
should first check if the SIM card has
contact.<br class="">
<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
<meta http-equiv="content-type"
content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252" class="">
Would be great if you could also check
V0.2 -- it's in my account on github:<br

This _should_ be able to show some

qualified beta test feedback.<br

<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
Just wanted to say that I'll gladly
be the guinea pig for this. <br
class="">
<br class="">
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
class="">
<br class="">
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
class="">
<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
I tried sending text messages to the
board and no dice. <br class="">
<br class="">
Any help would be appreciated,
looking forward to getting this
working! <br class="">
