I'm up and running!<br>
<br>
The power is to the module is now stable, and I went out and got a
Rogers SIM (not a Bell SIM -- attention Canadians, Bell SIMs do NOT
work), and I can talk to the car finally.<br>
<br>
PHEW!<br>
<br>
I got a data-only plan so SMSes are 15c each, so I really want to
figure out how to get data (GPRS) communications working in an ad
hoc way because I can't rely on text messages -- too expensive.
I'll do some reading about that.<br>
<br>
Then I'll start testing out the Kia Soul EV specific functionality.<br>
<br>
Woohoo! this is awesome!<br>

OK so I had/have two problems:<br>
<br>
1) the OVMS board had a bad connection on the ground input, so
power wasn't getting to the board properly hence the weird
flashing lights. We fixed that with a more solid ground
connection soldered to a couple pins.<br>
<br>
2) the SIM card I'm using does NOT work with the board. I hooked
up the diag port and it says "NOT INSERTED" for CPIN. With
another cellular provider's SIM, it did work. So now I have to
find a way to get this happening. I can only get cheap data with
my current provider, so I'm going to hunt for an old SIM that
might work.<br>
<br>
So things are on pause until I'm able to do that...<br>

About 200mA would be safest. A bench 12V power supply is fine.

I will definitely hook up to the diag port. I do have

Does anyone know if one can power the unit "on a

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.

class=""> Hi all 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

<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

<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

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="">
<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"

Would be great if you
could also check V0.2 --
it's in my account on
github:<br class="">

I'm replying to

hence I'm not able to
click reply. <br

<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
