Data from your Kia or Hyundai electric car via Vgate iCar Pro OBD adapter OBD
Check battery health, monitor temperatures, extract energy use, read error codes, and much more.
Soul EV Spy lets the owner of a Kia or Hyundai electric car view detailed information about their electric car's main battery, by plugging a VGate iCar Pro BT4.0 OBDII adapter into the standard OBDII port of the car.
NOTE: The KW902 product has been modified numerous times by Konnwei, many versions are NOT compatible with this app!
Many OBD adapters does not have enough bufferspace, or have commands used by the app missing.
I recommend the Vgate iCar Pro BT4.0 OBDII adapter.
This app cannot modify any settings in the car. The app only reads data from the car, via the OBD-II dongle, displaying and saving data files. It does not write settings to the car.
A short users' guide and FAQ is available here: https://evranger.com/soul-ev-spy-users%27-guide.html
NOTE: The app does not support BLE adapters. Most ELM327 OBDII Bluetooth adapters are incompatible with the app/car, regardless of price. The only recommended dongle is the Bluetooth 4.0 Vgate iCar Pro, because it supports all the needed ELM commands to communicate with the car systems, and it is the only OBD-adapter that works, of those tested recently.
Warning:
This app is communicating with systems in the car, which potentially can cause the car to behave different from its normal behaviour. This app is not endorsed or approved by Kia, Hyundai, or the companies that produce the systems in the car. If you choose to use this app, you alone are responsible for any and all consequences of doing so.
The app requests access to the device file system, on some versions of the Android OS. If you grant access, the app will store data in files in the Download catalog on the device, for later replay in the app, or for the user to use in other apps, e.g. a spreadsheet, for data analysis, graphs etc.
This app requests access to location, in order to request locations of nearby DC-chargers, to calculate car speed, and to record the location for each reading of car data in the .csv data-file.
On some versions of the Android OS, this app requests permission to access nearby devices, in order to connect to the bluetooth OBD adapter.
The app texts are by default displayed in english, or in the prioritized system language of the phone, if one of these (translated by volunteers):

Hungarian
Italian
