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
