Soul EV Spy - Lite

See data from your Kia or Hyundai Electric car, via OBD dongle

This app (Soul EV Spy Lite) will not be improved. If you want to support further improvements, please purchase the "Soul EV Spy" app, if you can afford it.

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 an inexpensive KW902 ELM-327 v1.5 Bluetooth OBDII adapter into the standard OBDII port of the car.

The app refresh a list of nearby DC-chargers, whenever the device's location has moved significantly.

A short users' guide and FAQ is available here: https://evranger.com/soul-ev-spy-users%27-guide.html

Konnwei KW902 ELM-327 v1.5 Bluetooth adapters are available for around $10-$20, and one is required before Kia Soul EV Spy can extract data from your car.

None of the many ELM-327 v2.1 adapters tested with the app works properly!

Many other ELM327 OBDII Bluetooth adapters does not work reliably with the app.

The only dongle currently recommended is the Bluetooth Konnwei KW902 v1.5, because it supports all the needed ELM commands to communicate with the car systems.
