What's New
Version 2.2 — a whole new look with Themes, deeper diagnostics, smarter tire-pressure warnings, faster time to dashboard, and new climate signals A new look - The entire app is redesigned with translucent Liquid Glass panels over a soft aurora backdrop — Dashboard, History, Inspect, Settings, and every diagnostic tool - NEW: Themes picker — choose a palette that recolors the whole app, each with its own Light and Dark variants, or turn the aurora off entirely Inspect & diagnostics - NEW: Enhanced DTC Scan sweeps the entire diagnostic bus, names every module that responds, and reads each one's fault codes — reaching body, chassis, and airbag modules a standard OBD-II scan never sees - NEW: ICCU Information tool reads your charging controller's part numbers, software version, build date, and serial number - NEW: Connection Report — an in-depth view of the app-to-vehicle link: adapter details, polling stats, per-module coverage, and an events timeline - Export results to CSV from DTC scans, the Connection Report, and any History session Tires - Warning colors now derive from your vehicle's door-placard pressures, with separate front and rear targets — fully customizable in the new Settings → Tires - NEW: Temperature compensation, so hot tires after a drive no longer trip a false warning - Pressures update 4x more often, and a sleeping sensor shows its last-known reading instead of a blank value Climate - The four vent and floor outlet temperatures now appear on the Dashboard, in CarPlay, and in History charts - NEW: Driver Position setting mirrors vent layouts for right-hand-drive vehicles CarPlay - Climate and Tires chips are now tappable — color-coded vent temperatures, and pressure/temperature pages that remember your choice - NEW: SoC Range Colors — set your own red/orange/green thresholds for the state-of-charge gauge, in CarPlay and on the Dashboard - The solid-red Brake Light style is back, and the Precondition chip is renamed "Battery Warmer" Faster and steadier - Time to dashboard cut by almost half — your first values appear within about a second of polling start - "Vehicle On" detection reworked: sessions end promptly after shutoff, and adapter hiccups no longer end a session mid-drive - Faster polling on OBDLink adapters, and smoother multi-frame handling on vehicles with very fast ECUs Charging - NEW: AC Draw panel and chart show wall-side voltage, current, and power while AC charging — the gap to pack power is your charger's conversion loss - Fixed a phantom "DC Fast" session at AC plug-in; the 12V battery now shows charge/discharge direction by color Vehicle coverage & languages - Korea-built IONIQ 9 now identified correctly; Standard Range packs no longer show two phantom 0° modules; cell-voltage grids show every cell on the Kia EV9 - Dozens of translation fixes across all nine languages, including proper battery terminology in seven of them

User Reviews
This is built ground-up for the eGMP platform cars (Ioniq 5/6/9, Kia EV6/9, 5 N and GT) —and it shows. The CarPlay display is gorgeous! But the in app displays are even better. There is now logging and exporting to CSVs, this app is deep and well designed. 100% worth buying if you own an Ioniq or Kia EV.
I normally do not write reviews but I figured I must here. This is a stable and well coded display of ODB2 data specific to EV. Kudos to the dev.
My old OBDII scanner was WiFi only, so it was not usable with this app. Be sure to read the developer’s helpful instructions carefully to ensure compatibility with your equipment.
ぜひ日本語対応もお願いします。
Tons of useful and just cool information, very nice display, explanations helped understand the car better. And on top,the developer replied with answers to my questions in a few hours.
Level 2 charging plug temp(VCMS AC INLET) display desperately needed displayed on the charging screen. You can even put this in place of the tire temperature read out which is not needed during charging.
2025 Ioniq 5 SEL As advertised, this app gives you all the crunchy details the car hides by default. Very cool to see exactly how the car performs while driving and charging, and the history feature is really nice as well. MyHyundai only saves stats for the last 4 drives, but this app has no such limit. It’s also nice to see specific details for my ICCU unit, and high voltage cell deltas to assess any issues. Highly recommended.
Great app as a first time EV owner, lots of information and useful tools.
I agree with the ionic guy, this should be essential if you own an ionic five. To the developer: please take a closer look at the tire pressure colors displayed by default. If I have my tires properly inflated to cold temperatures once they warm up, they show is orange instead of green. This is what I would consider an incorrect behavior. I believe the software should be able to take this into account as that’s what the manufacturer recommends cold pressure to be sent to. If you go to any Costco or tire shop in the US, they will normally set the tires to +3 or +4 psi from label on the door panel for warm tire inflation if you’ve driven more than half a mile. The vehicle should know what a warm tire is versus a cold tire. If you could somehow adjust the software to take this into account, that would be great. As is right now if it goes above 36 psi it always shows orange even if that is normal behavior of a tire set to 36 cold as the #DATA placard and the manual states. I picked this app up after seeing a YouTube review from “the ionic guy” that does a good showcase on the software. I recommend anybody thinking about it. Take a look at that video.
After reading the reviews on here and on Reddit I decided to go ahead and spend the money for this app to use with my Ioniq 6. I wasn’t able to get it to sync with my Veepeak OBD2BLE adapter, even though it was on the list of adapters that are compatible. I did all the usual steps with no luck. I emailed support (Greg, himself) and explained my situation. He got back to me within a half hour and gave me his phone number to call so we could troubleshoot the problem…on a Sunday…in the summer. I sent a screen cap of the message I was getting and he hadn’t seen that one before. But he walked me through several steps and eventually asked me to confirm, in the app settings, that Bluetooth was enabled. It was enabled in the general settings but It wasn’t in the app itself (for some reason). Issue solved. The app fired right up. And I spent the next hour plus geeking out over the inner workings of my I6. Goodbye Car Scanner. Hello Ioniq 5 Companion. It’s well worth the $13. Thanks Greg. I hope you make a lot of money with this app.
Very detailed, excellent realtime tracking of OBD2 scanner data on IONIQ 5 IOS Carplay display.
Even if your model is listed as under development GET THIS! It provides a second dashboard via CarPlay with all the data you couldn’t see before. Charging status, trip data, ICCU (our Achilles heel) information. Battery details for both 12v and the main batteries. Preconditioning and battery temperature status. All in a more digestible format than apps like Car Scanner. Developer seems very responsive to feedback and is actively improving the app
