It is hard to modify the main board, without voiding the certifications we have (and going through the expense of re-certifying). Simplest would be to implement this on an expansion board. Perhaps extend the K-line board we have to do other functions (12v switched status, relay control, etc)? The DB9 is full (all 9 pins assigned), so this would have to be via DA26. We have been using the EGPIO lines for system use, starting at #0 and working upwards: #0 MDM_EN (modem enable) #1 SW_CTL (external 12v control) #2 CAN1_EN (can#1 enable) #3 MDM_DTR (modem DTR) Then expansion boards should start at #9 and work downwards: #9 K-line enable (on k-line expansion board) I guess we need just a simple voltage divider, and pull down, to determine on/off state of switched 12v? Regards, Mark. P.S. I have been hoping that Espressif would release a successor to the ESP32 with more RAM and GPIO pins, but it looks like the prefer to go lower performance/spec, rather than up.

Mark,
I remember the current Leaf also has the issue of the OBD port being filtered by a gateway to only support polling.
I think we should generally add a +12V ignition signal detection to the next OVMS hardware revision, i.e. without the need to add extra hardware.
There is no standard for the ignition / switched +12V being available at the OBD port, but I think most cars will have that. If a car doesn't, it should still be easy to get from around the OBD port (e.g. fuses).
Regards, Michael

Meaning: We need a special VW-cable (like for the NIssan or Kia Soul) with OBD Pin1 gets into a pin on the DB9 connector and into a Digital-In-Pin on the OVMS. A voltage divider is needed as well as +12V on OBD-Pin1 signals "ignition on".
