Hi all,
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!
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.
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.
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.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Rob

Welcome Robert :-)
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.
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.
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.
If you're stuck at 10/9... maybe you should first
check if the SIM card has contact.
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.
Would be great if you could also check V0.2 -- it's in
my account on github:
https://github.com/dexterbg/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System
...hex:
http://dexters-web.de/f/kiasoul/OVMS-KiaSoul-0.2.zip
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.
Regards,
Michael

Hi all,
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.
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.
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.
Just wanted to say that I'll gladly be the guinea
pig for this.
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.
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?
The LEDs flash like - 10 Green, 9 Green, 10 Green, 9
Green, then a few reds, then green and red flash
together really fast.
I tried sending text messages to the board and no
dice.
Any help would be appreciated, looking forward to
getting this working!
Robert
