Features & Capabilities

New in 2.0: more on CarPlay than ever — new Power, Compass & charging chips. A private drive & charge history via iCloud, for IONIQ 5, 5 N, 6, 9 & Kia EV6.

IONIQ 5 Companion is an independent diagnostic tool for the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 5 N, now with full support for the Kia EV6, IONIQ 6, and IONIQ 9. Plug in an ELM327-compatible BLE OBD-II adapter and it reads battery, charging, tire, and ECU data directly from your car. A built-in History records every drive and charge and syncs across your devices via iCloud.

CARPLAY

  • Two rows of live chips on the Driving tab — charge, power, tires, climate, and more
  • New chips: Power (draw and regen on one dial), Compass (optionally replacing the odometer), AC Draw (live volts, amps, kW), and Cell Voltage Δ (a per-cell heatmap)
  • Dynamic Charging and EVSE tabs during charging, with a session timer and the charger's reported capabilities

HISTORY & ICLOUD

  • New History tab records every drive and charge, with live State-of-Charge charts plus distance, energy, peak-power, and battery-temperature ranges
  • 50+ signals logged over time on charts you can pinch, pan, and scrub — voltages, temperatures, motor RPM, isolation resistance, charging power, and more
  • Optional iCloud sync keeps your history in step across iPhone, iPad, and Mac
  • Attach a photo and share a clean report card with one tap

LIVE DASHBOARD

  • State of charge, available energy, voltage, current
  • New: Regeneration gauge, Gear indicator (P, R, N, D), Isolation Resistance chip, and Polling Headroom indicator
  • Cell min/max temperature and per-cell voltages as a color-coded heatmap with an explainer
  • Tire pressures and temperatures, motor RPM, ignition state, battery heater status
  • 12V auxiliary battery — charge, voltage, current, temperature, plus DC-DC converter telemetry
  • Outside and cabin temperature, relative humidity, headlight and brake-light indicators

CHARGING TELEMETRY

  • Live AC and DC charging detection
  • Session detail plots Charging Power, Pack Voltage, battery and ambient temperature, banded by AC, DC, and preconditioning
  • DC fast charging: a new EVSE Current chart compares requested vs. delivered current, plus an EV Supply Equipment card with the station's max power, voltage, and current (J1772 + CCS)
  • Live "Time to 70°F / 21°C" battery ETA for optimal DC fast charging

CONNECTION & SETTINGS

  • Connect, disconnect, and toggle Auto-Connect to share one adapter between apps
  • Keep Screen Awake while the app is in the foreground
  • Choose Power units (kW, HP, PS) and Efficiency units (mi/kWh, km/kWh, kWh/100km, Wh/mi)

ADVANCED TOOLS

  • J1979 OBD-II Scanner — standard mode 01-09 read-out for adapter compatibility
  • ECU Finder maps every ECU; DID Range Scan probes one across an address range; Curated DID List scans all 65535 addresses; an A/B/C test hunts new signals — with result sharing

I love the CarPlay integration. This app is well-designed and feels like it should ship with the car. Can confirm it works well with my Kia EV6. Eager to try it out on a road trip!

I’ve just started using this app but wanted to provide my initial impressions. Connection to my Veepeak adapter was instantaneous. The UI is very well done, with everything presented in an easy to understand format. I like the graphical representation of the items and how everything is well organized. The information presented is above and beyond what is normally available and, while most might be accessible through other apps, this is clearly tuned for maximum info with minimum fuss on the Ioniq 5. The CarPlay interface is great too, providing near real-time (probably only limited by transmission from the adapter) at-a-glance information for much of the most critical information while either driving or charging. It’s obvious a lot of thought went into designing this app. I can’t wait to see what other enhancements the developer has in mind.

I could not get the app to connect it first. I had to unlink ABRP, link this app, force quit this app, re-link ABRP and now both apps see the dongle at the same time. This app has a much better CarPlay interface than Car Scanner
