The iOS App v1.2.0 has been approved by Apple, and should appear on the iTunes App stores around the world within the next few hours. Those users with the app already installed will be prompted to update.

This version includes full support for the v1.2.0 car firmware and functions such as starting/stopping charge, changing charge mode and current, lock/unlock car, valet mode on/off, features, parameters, etc. It also includes new graphics and a more polished look-and-feel (with thanks to Felix for all his hard work on this).

A few of announcements:

1] We are now open for end-users to use the system.

2] MPT has done a nice write-up in greencarreports.com: http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1073583_open-vehicles-community-rele...

We're delighted to announce that the production end-user release of the OVMS system for 2.x Tesla Roadsters is now available and has been formally launched on March 2nd 2012.

Please note that we do not currently support v1.x Tesla Roadsters. The system _should_ be compatible with v1.x cars, but we haven't verified this at all. If you have a v1.x car, would like this system, and are willing to help, please let us know and we'll see if we can arrange a nearby developer to work with you. But, for the moment, we are recommending this only for 2.x cars.

We are glad to release the v1 User Guide for OVMS in the Tesla Roadster.

You can download it direct from github at:

The guide contains instructions for installing the module in the car, as well as initial setup for access.
