Alter Range Extender Activation Battery Level

I cannot remember if it was KOMBI or BKOMBI 3000. I changed the SOC_HOLD_POSITION to 12%(18). The little triangle above the battery level even looks like it moved to the 12% mark. Today the motor did not start until 6%. Is there something else I need to change? Or is this one of those, it does not matter what you do it will always be 6%?

I had coded mine to go lower, down to 2% to max out BEV range, at it did delay the REX engagement way below 6%. But I never tried moving it never higher.

The field was "SOC_HOLD_POS" in KOMBI, in my REX (names change, occasionally, with firmware versions).

When in mountains, I would manual turn REX on by having coded EV_MENU_AVAILABLE in HU_NBT.
