Thanks for the reply. It's too bad that manufacturers don't make this info freely available so that third parties can help support their own products... Luckily, I think I have found a solution, at least in my situation: An aftermarket Android based head unit company called T'Eyes (Tee eyes) has...

JejuSoul, I found a list of PIDs from you on Github and searched through them. I was looking for a PID (for use with Torque Pro) that relates to what the currently set cabin temperature is, but didn't see anything. My issue is this: At some point, probably next year, I'd like to replace the...

Here's what they look like: https://photos.app.goo.gl/M3PRf1mHE1yNUNLcA

Actually, I'd be interested in finding a navigation + radio replacement that can still read EV system specs (like battery state of charge) as well as display the current A/C temperature setting when I turn that dial. There are plenty of dual din systems that you can put in there but you'd be...

I did some research when I first bought my 2016 Soul EV (used) and settled on Tuxmat for the floor mats. They are fantastic, very well made and actually curve up the sides of the interior an inch or two so that if you spill something it will be fully contained within that floor mat. They are...

Yeah, they need to improve this drastically if they want people to trust their EVs going forward. I totally love mine but their dealership customer service needs some work. That being said, last year when I brought my car because of a failed on-board charger to Wallace Kia in Stuart Florida -...

UPDATE!!! After an eternity of waiting (since November 26th of 2021, nearly nine months ago) my local Kia dealership called me to inform me that my vehicle was ready to be picked up! I mentioned that the 12 volt battery and the tires were probably both flat since it had been nearly 9 months and...

Another update! Kia called me Wednesday August 3rd to inform me that the battery pack has left the warehouse (after being tested 'ok') and is on the way to the dealership. I *SHOULD* be hearing from the dealership in "5 to 10 days" saying that my vehicle is ready to be picked up. The 26th of...

Thanks for testing it out, IanL. You're right, that's easier to remember. One thing that concerns me a tiny bit is the possibility of the EPB sticking in the 'engaged' position (after years of daily use). Has anyone had this happen or heard of it happening?

I did not get this manual, so thanks very much for the info! The dealership did the update while they had my car in for another thing: Replacing the on-board charger (over $2000, so I'm glad it was under warranty!) I'll see if I can get a copy from the dealership OR if I can download it from...

So.... I recently got in contact with Kia Consumer Relations and they have confirmed that my battery pack is no longer pending arrival at the port, which means that it is definitely inside the US and is either on its way to the warehouse to be quality tested or is already there. Then it will go...

I always manually put the EPB on as a habit, so I've not noticed the same scenario as yours. Another problem is if you need to have your car towed.* Most tow truck drivers want your car to be in neutral, but even in neutral as soon as it no longer detects the key fob in the car it will engage...

I look forward to the day when batteries have advanced to the point where they can be charged at any time and to any SOC without degrading. And if that same battery can do so 10 times faster than current technology, all the better! There are several concepts being tested behind the scenes -...

I think @IanL is right when he says that they are new cells but in a "used" container. Should be in good shape. What I'm going to do when I EVENTUALLY get mine back (fingers crossed) is charge to 80% only, except for maybe once a month I'll charge to 100% (for calibration). Don't let it fall too...

True. I remember reading that in the owner's warranty manual. Since the car is barely 5 years old (it's a 2016, originally sold in mid or late 2016 to its first owner) it would be in Kia's best interest to use new cells because otherwise there'd be a better than decent chance that they'd have to...

Sounds like your wait time is close to mine, so perhaps I'll be getting a call in the next few weeks informing me that I can pick up my car. The Kia representative that I spoke to (my contact person within Kia) said months ago that the battery pack was being assembled in South Korea which leads...

UPDATE: Well, here we are June 20th and I still have not heard from Kia about my battery pack. In just a few more days it will be 7 months since I dropped off my car to have the battery pack replaced. As I said in a previous post Kia contacted me in late March or early April to tell me that my...

Good to know, Mdbuilder. I'll report back on how many miles I end up with with a full charge once I get my car back.

Cool. REALLY looking forward to getting my car back! The battery pack is scheduled to arrive at the port in California on or around April 25, but with the slow pace of the unloading of freighters I'm hoping that it won't be sitting on a boat at the port for another 2 or 3 months waiting to be...

Is that the usable capacity or does that 28.8 include the buffer?
